		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s now 2009 in Australia while in the States there are a few more hours still of 2008.  As my hubby plays with his Xbox 360, I&#8217;m sitting here thinking about how 2008 was a crazy year for us.
From January 2008 to just recently our lives have been in a whirlwind of lots of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m late in posting this but Merry Christmas or as the locals say Happy Christmas!
This was my first Christmas away from my NJ home.  (Look at that I specified NJ home, indicating I have 2 homes now.  Boy, am I growing up.)  It was a bit strange not being in NJ for Christmas.  No below [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You get free money! (Sort of).  Since we bought our first house in Australia, we got $14,000 from the government for the deposit (after June 2009, it goes back down to $7,000) and about another $5,000 savings from our closing (settlement in Australia) fees from the government and bank!
The only catch is that you have [...]]]></description>

I do wish we had a children&#8217;s hospital nearby and that instead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Thanksgiving back home and I&#8217;m missing it!  We would have had turkey and the works here but a small turkey cost about $40 and it wasn&#8217;t worth it when we need to save all our (electronic) pennies for our house.  We hope to do Thanksgiving here next year in our own house, God willing.

The Flu
Windburn on face
Sunburn on face
House issues
Bank issues
Lawyer issues
Work issues
Parent issues

Back home (at least the part of NJ that I&#8217;m from), it&#8217;s common to sit in the front lawn while the kids play. We [...]]]></description>
