After 8 months in the land down under, Motes has officially left for the US. A bittersweet moment for her as we will be apart for about 2 months after I return from the US in July, but she's wasted no time in reuniting with her

While we both wish she could've stayed longer in Australia, it made sense for her to fly home as she could return to her old job and make some $. Plus, she was running out of re-runs of House to watch during the day.
We did celebrate her birthday the beginning of the month. I am notoriously horrible at keeping surprises, but I was able to play it off like we were just heading into the city for a regular birthday dinner, only to have some of our friends surprise her on the ferry into the city and join us.
Type of restaurant Motes would like to go to on her birthday.....
Survey Says:
Sushi, of course!
They weren't able to put a candle in her chocolate filled strawberry tempura. Nice improv though:
Everyone loves sparklers! Unless you're a communist
Unfortunately it was raining, but we were able to take in some of Vivid Sydney, which is a light show put on every year for about a month in the city. They play light shows on buildings throughout the city.
Light display on the Museum of Contemporary Art in Circular Quay
A light show on the Customs House in Circular Quay
Unfortunately her stay didn't work out quite like we envisioned, but we both agree it was a once in a lifetime experience and well worth it. We made some friends whom we look forward to staying in touch with and will try to convince them to come visit us in the US. Well, as long as I don't botch up our relationships while running solo down under.
Don't worry, this love story has a happy ending, eventually. I'll be home soon for 10 days before returning to Australia alone for about 2 months where Mere will join me for a couple of weeks in Thailand.
