exciting coming year!

Well it's been a wirlwind of a few weeks that's for sure!  We have been very busy trying to figure out our future plans beyond our trips in August. (Aug--Cairns, Melbourne, Thailand, New Zealand, Sydney, LA, BC, ON at the end of Sept!)  It will be an exciting two months that's for sure...but what comes next?  That is what we have been working on.  Before we were set on coming back to Australia and trying to be come permenant citizens so that we could stay here and make some good money for a while....well turns out it's super expensive (almost 12000- before flights!) to get it all going and then we would have to commit ourselves to one job location for 2 years.  During the 2 years we also wouldn't be able to leave the country at all....no trips to south east asia or new zealand or even home heaven forbid something happend at home.  NOPE.  No travel outside the country for two years....for a couple that loves to travel, two years is a LONG time!  So...we have decided that we will not be coming back to Aussie.  Yeah it's a little sad, but at the same time we are very excited that we have decided that we will be staying in Ontario for at least a year!
AND...we know it will at least be a year because----WE ARE GETTING MARRIED IN ONTARIO!  That's right...we had some great plans started for an elopement in Thailand while we are there, but now we have decided that we will save the money that we were going to use for that and we will be using it to get to New Zealand before we get back to Canada!  Very very excited that we will be sharing this moment with all our family and friends in Canada in 2012!!!  As we all know I am very excited for the upcoming plans as I love planning parties as much as I love going to them!  Lots to look at and lots to do, and we will keep you all posted as to when we are thinking about for dates! 
So we have made many changes to our life plans in the last little while but we couldnt be more excited for the next year or so to come!  Look forward to seeing more of you often while we are in Ontario!!!
