BBQ.

A few weeks back Matt and I had the pleasure of being Mike and Alex McIlwaine's Dinner guests at Blue Smoke. We had Ribs, wings and chips {my fav!}.  This meal was one of the best I've had in my life!  The ribs were beyond tender, the BBQ sauce amazing, the wings spicy, and the chips just perfect!  I HIGHLY recommend this AMAZING southern BBQ restaurant for all lovers of good southern cooking!  I can't wait to go back for Matt's Birthday this month!

Spread Some Christmas Joy.

A Picnic Blanket, BBQ Wings, Cornbread, Live Music and Good Company.

This saturday night the Harvest Festival was in town.  Matt and I were too poor to afford tickets but we decided not to let this stop us from getting the chance to listen to the National and the Flaming Lips live!  We rounded up a few friends, some picnic blankets and some good ol' southern cooking from Carolina Kitchen, an INCREDIBLE southern style restaurant matt and I discovered a few weeks ago.  The wings were great, the cornbread even MORE great, the music amazing, and the company fantastic, all and all making for one memorable night! I love Brisbane! 

Montville.

This weekend Matt and I finally got to visit

BEAUTIFUL MONTVILLE. 

I have been wanting to come back to this quaint little town ever since Matt and I visited at the beginning of this year.  Once Uni was over for the semester this was my first summer request!  It was a lot of fun walking up and down the streets, going in and out of quirky shops and enjoying the beautiful scenery that is Montville.  If you're ever in Brisbane this town is a must see! Matt and I had lots of fun listenting to music on the way up and taking in what I called "FUN DAY". I am so grateful for fun days and Matt. 

When in OZ, always wear sunscreen!

We started off our day by wandering around the Eumundi Markets!

The beautiful hills of Montville

A Pond that flows underneath the house? 

What does this mean?

Water and Plants, Matt couldn't ask for anything more. 

Motes + Matt = Magic

 Matt and I found what we think might be the bestlocation for a public toilet ever!

  This weekend my good friend Mike McIlwaine MARRIED his beautiful bride Alex Brennan.  It was a lovely wedding.  One of the best I've been to!  Aside from watching the beautiful bride and groom gaze lovingly into each others eye's Matt and I had a lovely time sitting by the river with good friends, eating great food and celebrating love.  Watching these two people get sealed for time and all eternity was so special.  Their love for each other filled the room!  They are wonderful and made Matt and I want to be better people. Needless to say, the Bride and Groom looked spectacular and so in love! 

Congratulations Alex and Mike!
