Look! We have friends!! :)

A few of you have written and asked how we're doing here- and specifically, if we've made friends. We definitely have made friends. Of course, it takes time to make your way into existing groups of friends- but I'd say we've done pretty well.

So, on Saturday we had some people over for a few drinks (and of course snacks made by me!), and I made Joel go outside and take some pictures so I could prove to you all out there, that we do, in fact, have friends! :)

The reason for the get together was put out there as to "celebrate or commiserate" the AFL Grand Final. Unfortunately, it ended up being to commiserate, as the Cats did not win the game. It had been a long day though- what with having gotten up at 5am to watch the game. We did take naps, but, I still got tired pretty early. So I went to bed around 12. Apparently I missed a bit by going to bed that early- most notably stark naked shotgunning of beers. I don't get it. Why would you want to? Anyway, at least Joel wasn't one of em doing it...




Anyway, so, there are the pictures of our first porch party. I would call it a success. There was beer left over, but, there was also a big mess in the morning. My food was almost completely eaten. I woke up at a decent hour and had a productive day, Joel (who has also been suffering a terrible cold this whole weekend) woke up late, and was useless all day. :) Too bad tomorrow is Monday again....
