A new Room

Trent and I have been working since we got back to re-do our room to make it look new again.  We cleaned up, re-painted some of the walls, bought all new furniture, a new TV and stand to hold electronics and gaming consoles and DVDs, replaced old beat up cupboards with the silver storage rack, replaced the ratty old blinds with a new one, got a couch from one of his friends (cleaned and vacuumed) and most recently bought the finishing touches of new sheets and baskets. We are still planning on putting up some pictures but haven't got around to it yet.  There are a few things to be done (including the photos, a new mattress, and staining the wood rack to match the furniture) but for the most part the picture below is our finished bedroom.

My Relationship in a Few Words

So, at the moment I'm writing my letter about Trent and my relationship for our "DeFacto Relationship Visa". I know exactly what I need to say and it's not like our dates or recreational interests have changed, but it's still hard to go through every aspect of your life and write it out in detail for other people to read and scrutinize and see if your worthy.  We've decided that neither of us can read the others letter until at least the first rough copy is finished so we don't influence each others writing.  I've got about a page typed out and there's not much on there about our relationship yet.  I have a feeling it's going to be a fairly long essay...
We'll see how it goes?

BaCk to WoRk

Back in Oz, Trent and I have been working in the backyard just cleaning things up and moving stuff out.  When I say WE what I really mean is Trent does most of the work and I muddle around pretending to look busy.  So one of the things "we" have worked on is breaking down the old brick BBQ in the middle of the yard.  (we also moved some bricks from the steps and cleaned up branches trees and overgrown shrubbery)
