Jacaranda

Colin has 3 more exams this week and I'm so excited for them to be over. I'm also excited for December 10th because I will be off work for 1 whole month. I don't know how our bank account will feel about it, but I'm hoping it will be understanding and gracious. heh...

In the last few weeks it's been getting pretty nice outside, we've been hitting the low to mid 20's and it's been super nice. It's been so warm that we've also been experiencing lots of thunder and lightening, including a tremendous lightening storm a week ago that was magnificent to watch. However, Friday, Saturday and Sunday the temperature and humidity SKYROCKETED. The boys attempted to study but were mostly just trying to stay awake. Cooking in the kitchen was painful, but fortunately we really only ate 1 meal a day + lots of snacks. I leave for work at 7am and I actually had the a/c going on my drive this morning. But at about 10am it started raining, and continued to do so for 7 hours. It is now blissfully cool and I can return to my normal routine of eating and sleeping in peace.

This last month has brought out lots of beautiful flowers, and my new favorite Aussie flower is from a tree called "Jacaranda". It's like a purple Australian version of our Cherry blossom tree. They're EVERYWHERE. Except in our yard.

Hope you're all well and enjoying your sweet sweet snow. I can't believe I won't touch any for over another year.
