Life's pretty dull at the moment...

The last week has been pretty uneventful. Ty has been working some extra hours to make up for the all the public holidays. My work has been really busy but I'm really enjoying it, I've made it past my 3 month probation yay!

On Saturday Ty and I went house hunting and looked at some dispaly villages in Mawson Lakes and Northgate. Henley properties had some beautiful houses but they were quite expensive $250K for a house not including landscaping, and fixtures, add the land in and that's over 400K. Then we drove out to Mawson Lakes definitely don't want to live there, but Medallion Homes had a house on display I really wanted to see. Well Ty and I just fell in love the house was absolutely gorgeous. Nine foot ceilings, theatre room, huge kitchen, but the price over 400K. The lady said that this display home had been bought for 1 million. You are paying for alot of things you don't need though, which really drives up the price. So we drove away feeling very poor but it was fun to see how the other half live. We've decided to take a break from house hunting since anything we see we can't buy til august september anyway.

On a different note, I was quite sad to hear about Heath Ledger's death. Not sure why since I didn't know him, but I really liked him as an actor. Ten things I hate abouut you would have to be one of my favourite movies. RIP Heath Ledger, I hope you are in a better place now.

January 21st 2008

Well I thought I should start blogging, since this is the purpose of creating a blog, and also so Clara actually has something to read. Saturday we had our first dinner at mum and dad's house without Phan, Clara and Beth and it was a sombre mood. I missed seeing Beth make a mess of her food and having her squeal and do her usual tricks. I missed having Clara to gossip with and just chat about my week, and I even missed Phan giving me a hard time. It was very quiet. The highlight of the night was doing a phone hook up with them and getting to see Beth on the web camera. She was soooo cute and even obliged us by doing all her little tricks, we even got kisses.

On Sunday Ty and I spent the day looking at some houses. I'd forgotten how deceiving web photos can be, some houses look great on the net but not so flash in person. One house we didn't even go in just did a drive by. House prices are definitely more expensive than when I was last looking. Ty and I are very tempted to build or buy an ex display home. We won't be in the market til the end of the year so we will make some concrete plans then.
