Thursday morning, and Katy, Emma and I will be off on another of Katy, Emma and Drew's Excellent Adventures, following the Melbourne Storm , this time to the Gold Coast, for their second trial game for the season. The boys are playing against the Brisbane Broncos, at Carrara, which is also known as the Gold Coast Stadium, where I saw my first ever game of League that was explained to me (by Katy)!!

Bunyip State Park
Spent the day in the Bunyip State Park with the guys from http://www.offroadsubarus.com. Once again, the car performed admirably, chickened out on a couple of runs, as I wasn't sure the XT would be up to it.
This pic was taken on a slope the car would not go up any futher, lots of wheel spin... very deceptive how steep a hill can be, yet looks relatively flat...
Couldn't believe the dust that was coming out of the ventilation system as I head out of the forest, hot footing it back to Katy's for dinner. Hate to think what the air filter looks like, based on the crap coming through the ventilation...

Fiona and Wayne's Big Day
Today was Fiona and Wayne's Wedding. They were married at Red Hill Estate, in a relatively small reception, of only 50 or so people...
Katy and I took between us several hundred photo's, both before, as Fiona was getting ready
During the wedding,
Behind which the guests had a magnificent view of the Vineyards,
We also took a lot of photo's in the same context the professional Wayne and Fiona had hired was taking. Hopefully the photo's he was taking are better than ours, as we reckon our photo's are awfully good!!
Even the Vineyard ducks got in on the act during the photos
The meal at Max's Restaurant was superb, and most people had a bit of a dance before the night was over.

It's Ours, See? SOLD!!!
Trent and I went for a fish yesterday, and head down to Langwarrin after work, to meet Katy (and Cameron from Network 1) to put the SOLD sticker on the house.
After the application of the SOLD sticker, we met the current owners, Dave and Glenda, who seem pretty nice, had a drink, and then head back to the Gully to have dinner with Trently.
The fishing was pretty good also, once I remembered my drivers license and wallet that is. We got most of the way to the Cranbourne - Frankston Road, and then had to turn back to Malvern to get it.
We launched at Black Rock instead of Frankston, and spent a couple of very enjoyable hours chasing a school of salmon off Rickett's Point...

We Have A Home!!!
After a jabber discussion yesterday, we decided that we would in fact put in an offer on the house. After several comings and goings on the phone, I finally had the vendor accept an offer of $1000 less than the property had been offered on previously.
It was a little more than we wanted to pay, however it is a house that we both fell in love with, and a couple of thousand dollars isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things over the rest of our lives.
As of today, pending financial and Archicentre inspection approval, we will be in 90 days, the proud owners of Number 30, Cotoneaster Way, Langwarrin, 3910, Victoria, Australia

We Found A Home!!!
After a few weekends of suburb driving, we've found a house that we both walked into, and thought "This is Home!"
On the weekend, we had a look at a hell of a lot of houses in Langwarrin, which is the suburb we both feel very comfortable about the prospect of living there.
We went to another house on the weekend, that we both really liked, and after driving past about another 30 houses on Sunday, we drove past this house on the way out of the neighbourhood. Katy SMS'd the agent to get some details, which she received yesterday during the day.
I rang Buxton's, who are selling the house we liked around the corner from this house, to try and get to look through it tonight, however the agent was not available.
I rang Cameron, from Network 1 and arranged for us to take a look through the house tonight at 6.00 pm. We got from 484 to the house, which is at 30 Cotoneaster Way, Langwarrin, in 55 minutes, which is how long it can take sometimes from 484 to Bretonneux Square!!!
Anyway, we had quite a look through the house, and both pretty well fell in love with it.
We had dinner at Patterson lakes, where we talked about putting in an offer on the house. We drove back to the house, to see what the street is like at night, and it seems pretty quiet.
When we got back home, we sat in the car, and after we talked about it for a bit, we decided that we would make an offer...
