Happy Anniversary to Me!

...oh and to Chris too! Can't be forgetting about him. I don't know if you've heard, but we're kind of a big deal. Or at least we think so. And as our two year anniversary rapidly approaches (March 17th), it's time to decide how we should celebrate. Two years might not be impressive stats to many, but in our situation I would have to disagree. For one, Chris is my first boyfriend. I know, I know...how cutesy high school musical of me. Two? This marks the longest relationship engaged by either of us so that's an achievement in and of itself. Three: Yes. I'm gonna play the crazy long distance/international couple card. How many duos do you know consisting of a Texan and a Londoner who met in Scotland and currently reside in Australia? See? I told you. Bid deal.

Now that you're convinced of our awesomeness (not that it took much convincing) I'm going to let you in on how we've determined to commemorate the last two years of adventures, trials, distance, laughter, surprises, and, of course, love. No, not with some tawdry jewelry, or an expensive meal. We my friends are travelers, so travel we must. We've just booked back to back tours to conclude our great Aussie tour, and I couldn't be more excited. Here's the plan:
March 10th-last day of work
March 11th-Fly to Alice Springs (that's the biggest city in the center of Australia...that elusive red outback)
March 12th- Embark on a 3 day/2 night Rock tour complete with a trip to Uluru (also known as Ayer's Rock; it's that big random red rock in the middle of nowhere that for some reason is super famous. That's what we're going to find out)
March 14th-The rock tour wraps up and we spend a night recovering back in Alice Springs
March 15th-Fly from Alice Springs (Northern Territory) to Adelaide (South Australia) known as the city of cathedrals. We'll spend the day exploring and getting ready for...
March 16th-Hello tour numero dos! Our scenic escapade to The Grampians and along the Great Ocean Road begins. The biggest highlight? The 12 Apostles Rock Formations-random rocks sticking out of the ocean. They do like their rocks here, no?
March 18th-Arrive back in Melbourne, exhausted but content in our whirlwind coverage of middle Australia.

Following our trip, we have a mere two days to pack up, say our goodbyes, and brace ourselves for the climate change. Sunday March 21st we are London bound my friends! Oh the life of a Texas nomad....
