Ed's Oz trip

I know this was ages ago but we thought we'd show you some photos of Ed's whirlwind trip back home! It was only for 7 days and that included travelling. But it was worth it because it was to help celebrate a wedding of some very close friends of ours. Here are some pics!

The night before the wedding

Gorgeous!

Kath's birthday!

Kath turned 21 again on the 21st of July and we celebrated with a picnic in Golders Green park. Lots of antipasto, fresh bread, nice cheese, wine, olives, and a homemade carrot cake. It was pouring down rain so we had the picnic in a bandstage pagoda area but we got busted as the public weren't allowed there. The guard tactfully pointed out 'that's why there are chains on the gate'. But even using all our Aussie charm and inviting him to have some cake did not allow us to stay there so we had to move to another area which was much dirtier and smaller! But after some quick cleaning by Jo, we laid out the picnic once more, shared the cake around and had lots of fun! We also went a bit crazy doing some jumping shots...I promise it wasn't my idea....

News

Lots of things have happened! Sorry again for the delay, I haven't been busy, just very lazy.

First of all, we are both currently not working. Something happened with Ed's job (not his fault, and not his company's fault! The company who contracted them..) and therefore he is looking for another one at the moment! It's getting a bit stressful so please pray as our finances are worrying us at the moment. But we trust in God and know He's in control. Ed hasn't had much luck so far in getting a job but he job searches day and night so he's very determined.

It has been a bit of a blessing in disguise because it means Ed is able to rest and relax with me as I'm on school holidays for 6 weeks! I've been trying to find work as well but it's hard to find people to employ me for such a short time since I'm going back to Oz in September for 3 weeks.

Anyway! Lots of fun things have happened too and I'm going to do a HUGE photo dump on you guys which I'm sure you'll love so you can see what we've been up to :)
