I'm back!

Well, I don't know about you guys but I never expected myself to be able to blog during my 2 months in South America. I was hardly able to let my parents know I was alive with enough frequency. But hopefully I haven't lost everyone who reads this blog! A giant update is due, but I'll do this in bullet points.

• South America was incredible, we spent one month in Ecuador and one month in Peru. Both countries are different but both are amazing. There is just so much to do and see, and even though they're only little countries we didn't see the half of it in 2 months. Travelling as a group was interesting as well, mainly because more people means more people getting into crazy situations or doing something hilarious. The stories are plentiful... lets just say you probably wouldn't want to go out to dinner with the five of us because we'd be going on and on the whole time about "remember when... god that was hilarious"
• When I got back to Perth, my parents came to visit. They met Rob's family for the first time (and got along like a house on fire), saw Margaret River down to Denmark, then Sydney, and then spent time in Melbourne with Rob and me while we were apartment-hunting. I had such a great time with them, and they had a great time here too. Now I just need to convince them to move over : )
• Now I've moved to Melbourne. Rob and I found an apartment in Fitzroy, which is exactly what we wanted, where we wanted, at the price we wanted (woohoo!). And it only took us 1 1/2 painful weeks of submitting applications and 6 rejections. Now I've started classes at RMIT and am getting all those annoying things related to moving cities done. We move in on the 19th of March, and then we can let the settling in begin! So far I love this city, and I can see that I'm going to be quite happy here.
  

That's the 10-min version. I'll do my best to keep updating over the year and make up for being so slack over the last three months. Thanks for sticking around guys! xoxo
