Moving

I am exhausted.

We started packing our stuff at 10PM Saturday night, and we had everything loaded, moved, and unloaded by 10AM Wednesday morning. I'd forgotten what a herculean task it is to box up all your crap and shift it 300 miles away. Luckily we won't have to do it again for a while.

I can't write much now - we're in the middle of unpacking everything and trying to get rid of as much as possible so it'll all fit into my parents' basement. I'll try to post a full update sometime later in the week.

A quick story though while I'm sitting in front of the computer. As most of you know, Fiona's mom Glenys has been here for the past week and a half or so. Last weekend we went to a barbecue with our friend Erin, and Glenys wound up talking to some lady about the differences between Australia and America. The conversation went on for five or ten minutes when all of a sudden the lady interrupted Glenys to ask what language they speak in Australia. I was stunned beyond belief, but Glenys handled it with aplomb. She gracefully informed the woman that Australians speak english, to which the lady replied "Ahh, so that's why you speak so well."

We've been laughing about it ever since.

PS - Happy Birthday Matt!!
