parliment house, for my dad the politican

war memorial, for my dad to learn about australia

australia national museum, cool stuff there

maybe the national libary, went with vana and had a great time

rugby game, my parents both love football so to see it played differently might be fun.

some how schedual i time to go driving at dusk to see kangaroos.

mom will likely want to go to a fish and chippery

kingsleys, id looove to take my dad there but we'll see if we can afford it. likely not.

little busy bee

We're still getting stuff together for the wedding. working everyday now, so that we dont have to later. we're also trying to get organized and rearrange our living room for when everyone arrives. boxing books, taking shelves down, putting up pictures. ive started picking music for the cocktail party and reception. we're working with the photographers, and working out the cake.

we went to melbourne last weekend. we had an amazing time. it was so nice to be in a city again. we saw the beach, when to the usa food shop, costco, an american diner. i even had mexican food!! :) i also gained 3 kg. yuck! in one weekend. im still trying to work that off, but i might be there tomorrow.

we got my reception dress, its gorgeous, and the ring we thought was going to be my wedding ring, but its not going to work for us so we are selling it on ebay. *crosses fingers*

Bec and i have also started planning my bridal shower. its going to be so cute. pink and polka dots, cupcakes and champagne theme. :D sounds cute right?!

dad bought his ticket not too long ago and should have his passport this next week, shelbi i believe ordered hers yesterday, so all is coming along.
