We were young, working and engaged so we felt like it was time to move into a place on our own. So we did some house hunting and moved into a beautiful double storey unit, still in Bayswater.
We loved having friends over and arranged a fun housewarming cocktail party.
I don't have many photos for this time in our lives and even the videos seem to have disappeared. Such a shame...maybe they'll turn up in some random place one day!
I was enjoying work in the city and had taken on a role in student support which tied in with my passion for planning and travel. In December I arranged for the international students to take a day trip to Phillip Island and have a go at surfing.
We also loved having our family over for dinners or just a visit. It's amazing how simple life was back then. It wasn't about doing anything "Pinterest" worthy, it was all really low key and about enjoying friends and family. Very casual and fun!
