Gepps Cross Market

Anisia and I have established a new routine on our way home from church - visiting the Gepps Cross Market. I don't think either one of us will ever pay full price for fresh FRUIT & VEGE again!

So what was the surprise last night? A trip to the Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions match at AAMI stadium =) Although, it wasn't a complete surprise for Neish because I had inadvertently said the word "football" on Friday night and thus ruined the surprise. But, that doesn't matter, we had a FANTASTIC night of football thanks to the mighty lions and their efforts in the fourth quarter. At first it seemed like the match was a forgone conclusion and there was nothing for the tiny brigade of lions fans to cheer about at all. Then it rained as if to add insult to injury and while we went out of the stadium for a minute to be undercover the lions scored 2 or 3 goals which was a nice change! Then, to our surprise, and everybody else's, the lions continued to score and managed to even the scores and then overtake port quite quickly! We went out in sadness (see picture) but came back with plenty to cheer about (see picture). =) Being new to AFL, I learnt much about passionate Power supporters and how to make friends at church even when you don't support their team but just because your team beat their arch enemies. (YES, I wore my lions scarf to church to see what would happen)

Port & 500

The great tradition of Port & 500 continues in the Lutheran church! =) Last night I attended the board games evening at the student centre and played good old 500 with Kellermeister's Chocolate Sable (Jordan - you would be impressed). I also ate more chocolate than I have in a long time and made up for my less-than-usual chocolate consumption over Easter. My team, team Jenna & Nathan, thrashed the opposition making our way to 500 each game and nearly getting the other team to -500 on two or three occasions. Perhaps Lutherans should use this card playing tradition as a means of evangelism? It's a great way to socialise and win at the same time =)

Stay posted for what we get up to tonight. I am taking Neish on a mystery date which I know she'll love =) I just hope it doesn't rain...

Pictures tell a thousand words...

Hello family & friends!

Anisia and I have been trying to get onto the blog for several days now but have been thwarted by dodgy internet and lack of time. But, at last, you can see what we have been up to the last little while! Life continues to be full of activity as a newly engaged couple and there are more things to write about than I can possibly remember. Rather than making comment on all the photos below I hope that the pictures themselves can tell a thousand words and our future posts might be a little more frequent. Speaking of more frequent - it would be great to get some feedback on the blog via comments. Don't be shy. We would love to hear from you all and know that people are actually reading this!
