Time for an update. All is going well with Luke, he recently started his 2nd last 3 month chemo cycle ever! Yay! We saw Dr D'Rozario last month and he confirmed that Luke's treatment end date will be 5th May 2013. Luke has had a busy few weeks with exams at Uni. Had his last one today - so he's glad they are out of the way. He will be working at DAFF four days a week over Dec/Jan and into early Feb until Uni starts up again. Thanks to all his hard work at DAFF, Luke had been saving hard for his dream car. He's been looking at car sales for a few months and finally one was listed that ticked all the boxes. The only problem - it was in Melbourne. So we have just had a tiring 16 hour round trip from Canberra to Melbourne over the weekend. I've attached a photo of his new pride and joy. It's a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. It is a 2005 model - turbo (so I'm not happy about the power) and it cost him over $30K. A lot of money to spend on an older car but as he said he's been saving hard, has no other commitments and it was the car he's always wanted. We couldn't stop him from buying it and wouldn't want to as he deserves to have something good come his way. Murray's sisters and families are heading to New Zealand for Christmas so we are having an early Elton Xmas this Sunday. As no one will be in Canberra, we've decided to get a 3 bedroom apartment at Mollymook. Mum & Dad will stay with us and on Xmas Day we will catch up with Murray's Mum & Dad who will be down the coast staying with family. We are looking forward to a nice break away. So that's all our news for now. Wishing everyone a safe and Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
