I 'Googled' the name of the house we are building with Porter Davis and found all these blogs of people in very similar circumstances to us. I thought 'what a great idea! What a fantastic way to keep a record of our progress.' So here is my attempt. We are a family of 6 building a just-right sized house west of Melbourne. Feel free to travel along with us.

About Me

I'm a woman with many interests but very few skills. I'm committed to trying to make the world a better place and one that we can share peacefully. I want people to be respectful thinkers. I have a husband but I don't think that defines me. I also have kids who I love dearly and am so proud of. We have a dog.

Time is flying.

I'm so sorry, I missed yet another week! Where has the time gone?!

I am busy attending to my first assignment in the FIT2001 - Systems Analysis and Design unit. I know that managing scope is very important, but when I read the notices on the newsgroups I wonder if I am managing the scope of the system a little too well. I am treating this as a very simple design and trying to concentrate on getting the techniques right to a reasonable level. We shall wait and see...

On a lighter note, my family and friends staged a remarkably surprising surprise baby shower for me the other day. I think the last time anyone surprised me like that I was about 8 years old, so well done to you all! I had absolutely no idea - I honestly thought my mother was simply taking me to K-Mart for the afternoon! A wonderful day was had by all I think. My friend even flew down from Cairns to see me - I feel so honoured. Lots of laughs, lots of presents and a fair bit of champagne (sorry to the unborn, but the nerves had to be settled..)

Anyway, that's enought frivolity for this semester - so much more work to be done. I'm off to continue with assignment 1. Wish me luck.
