Dear Rain, you've made your presence known. Well known. Now would you get the eff out of here?!? We have a summer to try and enjoy.
Speaking of which, Dear Summer, please tell me you're at the gym. Getting really, really buff. And that any day now, you're going to go apeshit crazy on Rain and Clouds until they go running for the hills. I'll help you fight. Unless it involves me getting wet. Then I'm out.
Dear Surfboard, you and I are finally starting to get along. I'm pretty stoked about that. There was this one wave that took us both by surprise and we did a crazy nose-dive and you made the loudest, scariest noise I've ever heard. Even J heard it. I fully expected to find you in two pieces...but you're a champ and pulled through without a scratch. Please don't scare me like that again. I promise I'll try to maneuver us a little better so that we spend more time above water than below!
Dear Blog, am I about to publicly confess my love for you? Oh what the hell! Despite our relatively short relationship, we've taken off like a rocket ship. You are a time drain, but I love the inspiration and feeling of accomplishment you give me. Let's keep a good thing going, okay?
Dear Husband, I'm so excited about what the future holds! It's fun to see your hard work, enthusiasm, and creativity paying off. We have so much ahead of us, it's hard to even imagine what life will look like three months from now. It's fun to live in the moment, enjoy the adventure, and watch The Universe's plan for us unfold.
Seriously guys, this book is so Aussie. The slang, the scenery, the way of life. It was a great, easy, quick read! {And not terribly depressing like my description makes it sound.}
And my highlight of the week? Driving my car on a legitimate racetrack. Check this out:

I was in Bathurst for business and stayed at a hotel right next to the racetrack. Every year, V8 cars race 1,000km (620 miles) in the biggest racing event in Australia--The Bathurst 1000. But for the majority of the year when there aren't any races, they leave the track open for anyone to drive, at any time.
Are you for real? So of course I had to try it out. And, naturally, I thought speed limits didn't count on the track. But apparently they do. Good thing I had a coworker to tell me these things before I got too crazy. Either that, or he was just getting nervous about my driving. Maybe he was concerned we'd end up like this?
So that's my week in review. I hope you all have an amazing weekend!
And, for those of you keeping track, that was 6 link-ups. Six link-ups! Did I just set some kind of blogging record here?
