ReplyDeleteGeorgie - It's SO much nicer than their old place. And I mean nice as in actually nice, not nice as in just fancier or more expensive.
ReplyDelete- I found a friend of a friend's couch to sleep on during a strange and unplanned trip to a new city.
ReplyDelete- I am surrounded by so much love.
- My internship stipend came through on schedule!
- I am blessed beyond belief in so many ways.

ReplyDeleteNicole - As of now, September-December; Perth and Sydney definitely, Melbourne likely; nannying/housewifing at a friend's in Perth and then traveling/visiting folks. (I'd love to see you in Sydney, by the way!) <3
