Scott and Juliet were married in Vegas on May 3, 2008. They met over the internet and Juliet had planned a trip to the U.S. so after 8 months of talking via the internet and the phone, they met face to face at the Vegas airport. Long story short - they got married and moved to Australia. I hate having them so far away from our family but they are very happy here and that makes the distance okay.They rent the home they live in here in Cardiff. They want to buy their own home but need to wait until Scott has his permanent visa (two years from date of entry) so they can get a loan without paying a huge amount down.
The house they live in is in a very quiet neighborhood with very hilly streets. Their house is actually built on an incline so the back of the house has columns holding it up - kind of like the California homes built on stilts. Juliet says that most of the homes in Cardiff are older homes, and many of them have been remodeled. Their home has had rooms added on during the years after it was built and the garage has also been added on. For my farmville friends, Meghan (my lovely granddaughter) thinks the house looks like a farmville house (probably because of the picket fence).
The yard is not laid out in a square but seems to be more of a triangle. I have taken pictures both inside and outside so you can get a feel of normal Australian home.
HOUSE (OUTSIDE)
Because the house was built on an incline, the back of the house was built using cement columns so you can actually walk under part of the house.
