We couldn't have fit it into four

Unknowingly we had both planned on skyping our parents today, just at different times so it all worked out. Riley woke up early to skype his mom which was a bit of a bust at first since skype wouldn’t show his image to his mom. After I woke up I decided to turn on my computer to see if I couldn’t connect to skype better, but I was having the same problem. I was planning to skpe with my family afterwards, and they hadn’t been able to see me last time on the webcam so I decided I was going to fix the problem. I googled how to fix it and found out I just had to download a windows fix and then redownload skype. I was so proud of myself that it actually worked since Riley is the one that usually fixes my computer problems! So his mom was finally able to see him, along with my family being able to see me which was even better since my Grandma was in town visiting. We were obviously putting off doing what we had to do today – pack. Long story short our renter had gotten in trouble with the landlord and was getting kick out of her apartment. This meant that she had to kick everyone out of the apartments that she owned, which included both of us. We would be able to stay until July 1^st, but that was right in the middle of our trip to Melbourne so we wouldn’t be back in time to move all of our stuff out. We made the decision to pack up our stuff early and just put it in storage until we left for the United States. This will actually save us money in the long run, but just puts a little extra stress on us before we leave for Tasmania. So the rest of the day was literally spent just packing, organizing and weighing all of our stuff into the five suitcases that we had. Hands down we both agreed that we had brought way too much stuff, but with this being our first trip overseas, we had no reference to go by. But either way, packing up is a lot easier than packing for Australia since everything had to go in the suitcases somehow, someway. We took many short breaks to eat pasta for lunch and pasta for dinner; obviously that’s our best source of energy. By nightfall we had almost everything packed and were ready to move into storage in the morning, plus we were proud of ourselves since we hadn’t gotten a short temper with each other all day. Riley usually gets pretty anxious whenever there’s a big mess and/or we have to pack so I was a worried about how it would go but it turned out to be a lot easier than we had thought. We ventured off to Victoria Park because we had another thing to check off our list – take a picture of the possums in the park. I happen to think that these possums are super cute because it’s a family of 3 that live in a tree near the side of the road. We have been able to see them outside their nest several times around dusk, just sitting there all together. There was only one out for us to take a picture of, but he was still really photogenic and even came down the tree for us.
