Mr. Timmy

Posted on November 23, 2013 by robandlinds

Our long lost pal Tim Devereux, aka “Party Time”, was in town with his parents visiting us from his new home, Hong Kong. We started things off Saturday with a pub crawl in the rocks that ended far later than it should have. Sunday we went for lunch at The Commons then some afternoon beers in Walsh Bay and then finished it up by watching the Patriots/Broncos game after work Monday.

It was also great to see our friends James and Anya who came up from Melbourne for Tim’s visit. You can tell we have been here long enough when our friends move away and are already visiting!

Organic Getaway

Posted on October 4, 2013 by robandlinds

Before leaving for the states, Rob took me out to celebrate my birthday at a very nice restaurant in Surry Hills. He surprised me with a weekend away in the Barrington Tops National Park – about 4 hours north of Sydney. Best part of it? The place we stayed was an all organic, 100% sustainable farm with very limited access to TV and wifi! It was our “vacation after our vacation” to the states and it was certainly needed. We hiked around, met the locals, drove to the highest point in Australia (1600m), ate deliciously cooked food, and slept (a ton). It was a perfect gift!

We’re engaged!!!

We went away for the Queen’s Birthday weekend to the small town of Berry – 2 hours south of Sydney. Little did I know that Rob had the ring for over a year and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to propose (and little did he know that the perfect opportunity would be handed to him on a silver platter, when I recommended that we watch the sunrise on the morning of Sunday 9 June 2013). Even better, I navigated us past 7 Mile Beach to a lookout just outside Berry (thank God for Google maps!). Of course, I was going nuts with the camera (due to the stunning scenery) and since this was all my idea, I had no reason to suspect Rob was up to something. It was the perfect moment!
