Some Oldies..

Me and my Dad in one of his old classic sports cars, this one was the Triumph we had in Boise Idaho. I think this photo was taken in 1998. It was a cool little car. But I don't recommend being boxed in on the highway by two semitrailer trucks while driving this model.

This one makes me smile. This is Graham and his Mum Karen in our Kitchen in Perth 2009. Karen always comes to visit for Thanksgiving, and here she was making a yummy hollandaise sauce. You can really see the motherly love coming through in this photo. And Graham is just being a ham.

Happy Easter! Here is Graham the Easter Bunny, well the angry Easter Bunny in this shot. But I had to take a picture! If you are looking to hire a Easter Bunny to hop around you yard and hide eggs Graham is your man!!

 (Easter 2005)

Our Wedding Day (the first time) in the American summer of 2005. This was all the guests we had! From Left, my Dad and Mom, center my friend Janice she was with me when I met Graham in Sydney, Graham's Mum Karen who traveled last minute from Sydney to come for our quite wedding, and Graham and myself. We where married by the then mayor of Greenfield, and had dinner in Carmel (Indiana). It was a beautiful day. This picture was taken on my parents back porch in Greenfield.

Let the campagne flow! My Mum in law is going to kill me for posting this one, but I love it. This photo always makes me laugh. This was right after Graham and I got married back at my parents house. Karen and I had had a few drinks! We seem to be attacking the camera while giggling in this one. Love it!

That's it for the old photos folks!!

Tomorrow is Graham's 30th Birthday party at the Lawn Bowls Club in Como, Western Australia.  So my next update should have some photos of that in it!

Happy Easter!



March Madness

So March has been a busy one at our house!

Work kept me busy with the opening of our latest show Thrill (a double bill), with one piece by a local Perth choreographer and another by a choreographer from New York City. It was a great show and I was kept busy with the 54 schools who came to see the performance during a week long series of day time school shows.  I saw over 700 high school students, it was a huge success for my company Buzz Dance Theatre.

Graham was busy with school and study in March. He sure does work hard and often a week can fly by before I realize I have yet to tell him all my stories from the week. He keeps long hours. Up at 6:30am and is hard at work until after 8:30pm most nights.

We did find time to check out a local aviation museum a few weeks ago, that was a lot of fun and a hidden Western Australia gem. Lots of world war II relics and information. It was a good Saturday afternoon activity!

Things at the Wolfla house in Indiana have been busy as well. My Dad got a shoulder replaced which he is healing from now, and even the family dog did not escape a trip to the vet for surgery. Mom has had her hands full taking care of Dad and Jack the dog. They have also just had their kitchen re-done with a new refrigerator (they retired a 20 year old friend) and new granite counter tops!

I am getting excited because my Butler University Boys Basketball team has made it into the NCAA Final Four tournament in Houston this weekend. I was asked to a Butler viewing party in Sydney this weekend, but its to far to go! So my options are stay home and watch the game cast online (live blog updates on espn.com) or go over the Casino in the city at 5:30am and beg the sports bar bartender to put the game on the big screen. I might try my luck at the Casino because I would really love to watch it. If they won't play it (and they have ESPN) I will kindly flip them the bird and catch a cab back home and watch the blog updates..... People here think I am nuts. But they have no idea what a big deal it is. It is the only time I have ever wished I had expensive cable TV in Australia..

April promises to be just as busy. Graham's 30th birthday is on April 25th (Anzac Day).  We are getting excited because his Mom and Step Dad will be out to visit for it and Easter! We sure miss our family over in NSW and this will be a great time to catch up with them and make some new family memories!

Sending everyone my love. I have been saying special prayers for my family and friends in Indiana, Connecticut, and Idaho this Lent season, and I hope everyone is well, and knows how much they are loved and missed!
