We Finally Meet Kim!

Taking Arlie's car back to her on Saturday also gave us a chance to meet Kim for the first time!! Arlie and Kim formed their online friendship nearly 5 years ago so it just wonderful to finally meet her! She is such a beautiful girl and is much taller than I realised and speaks English much better than we do!!LOL In all the excitement we forgot to take a photo of Arlie and Kim together as Arlie had to go to work, but I am hoping for many more photo opportunities before she returns to Holland in the middle of August.
Lacey thought she would give Kim some tips on how to be an Australian Bogan by showing her how to carry tongs when you don't really want to carry them!!LOL

The Finished Product

We took Arlie's car back to her on Saturday and it was great to see the look on her face when she saw what a fantastic job John has done on it!! It looks so good and he should be really proud of himself, especially considering the time constraints and bad weather that he has had to deal with!! This photo really doesn't do it justice!! John really is a jack of all trades and even one of the ladies that Arlie works with asked him if there is anything he can't do after seeing what a great job he has done on the car and also knowing how good he is at fixing computers!!LOL

Arlie's Car

John has been very busy over the past three weekends painting Arlie's car. It has been a mix of three different colours since she started driving it and it certainly didn't look it's best. It had a white bonnet, green guard on the front and one of the pop up light covers was white too!!LOL
Mechanically it is in perfect condition, but it just didn't look all that great. He has done an amazing job and now it looks fantastic!! She hasn't seen it yet so I am looking forward to her reaction to it when she does!!

So Far Behind!

Wow, once again I have fallen way behind on all our news!! Things have been really hectic around here (nothing new I guess!!LOL) and sadly keeping the blog up to date has had to wait! But, I hope to do a better job of keeping up to date as much as possible from now on!
I guess the most exciting news at the moment is that Arlie's friend from Holland, Kim, has arrived in Australia for her 6 week holiday! We haven't had a chance to meet her yet as she flew into Sydney on the 1st and Arlie and her have been having a bit of a holiday down there since. They arrived back on the coast last night so hopefully we will be able to catch up with them very soon!
