Enjoying Life!

Hey Everyone,
Well life in Surfers Paradise right now in good. We are both really enjoying our jobs (even though we have been working alot of hours)and it is starting to get really hot here. It has been 30 degrees and sunny for the past week and it is only going to get hotter. Last night we went to a pub called the Lansdown and watched a couple of our friends who are in a band perform. Glenn has got the day off today and tommorow and is going to get in some serious beach time. Glenns job is able to get us our scuba diving license for practically nothing so we are probably going to be getting that within the next few weeks.
Anyways all in all things are good and we are having a great time. We miss you all and will talk to you soon.

Movie World!

Hey,
Well the weather here seems to be getting warmer by the day, and from what i have heard from home, winter is coming to calgary! To tell you the truth it makes me happier to be here on the beach.:)
Well another week has past, we are both working lots and am able to save lots of money. Last Tuesday, i worked so Glenn went whale watching with his company. He had lots of fun and got to see lots of whales. Yesterday Glenn and I went to Warner Brothers movie world. It was fun, we did lots of crazy roller coasters and saw a couple of shows. The best one was a police academy stunt show, It was hillarious! The park was fun, but not quite as good as Universal Studios Hollywood. The Gold coast where we are is like Australias Los Angelos where people come to see theme parks and the beach, it is a very busy place..
Well, my mom and Kelsey have booked there tickets they are arriving in Brisbane November 11th. Iam super excited, i cant wait to see them, it will be so nice to see a familiar face!
We are still enjoying ourselves and i thank everyone for the email updates, they are a nice treat. We miss you guys and hope you dont get to cold, haha we will be thinking of you as we sit on the beach in the sun!
Love you all and thats all for another week!
Love Jen and Glenn

Sunny Surfers!:)

Hey,
Well once again another week has past. Glenn has worked alot of evening shifts this week but he is back to days again today. Thank goodness!! I had my first official week at Seaworld which went pretty good. I worked at a restuarant in the park a couple of days and thats was ok, i really enjoyed getting the experience. I rode my bike to work all 5 days this week which was really good. There is a path along the ocean all the way to work so its a pretty nice view. Glenn walks the path to work as well and he loves it!
Next sunday we are going to Movie World so that should be alot of fun. The weather here is starting to get hot, i cant imagine what it will be like in the summer, we may melt.
We are really enjoying the apartment, i love having the pool! Its a nice treat to be able to go to the pool for a quick swim after work. But, all in all things are really good, we are enjoying life down under! Hope you all had a really good week and we will chat to you soon!
Love you and miss you,
Jen and Glenn

Apartment in Surfers Century!

PICTURE: View from our balcony!
Well its official, we have finally moved in to our new apartment in Surfers Century. So far so good, Willy seems really nice and he mostly keeps to himself he plays his saxophone in his room pretty much all day. Its like a free concert all day long! The first night we stripped the room and cleaned it from top to bottom. It feels alot better now that things are atleast alot cleaner. The view from the balcony though is worth it completely. When we wake up in the morning we can see the waves splashing up on the beach. Its also really close for Glenn to walk to work so he can walk along the beach all the way.
On friday Glenn bought me a bike so i can ride to work. We got a really good deal, its a really nice bike and it came with a lock and helmet for only $120. So i will officially be riding to work as of tomorrow.
On saturday we were able to go in the hot tub and have a barbeque. The building has really nice facilities. All in all things are good, we are making some money and enjoying the coast. Hope all is well back home! Love you guys and miss you.
Love Jen and Glenn

Surfers!:)

Well hello all,
Its is once again raining in surfers, not so bad if we had a car but it is a little annoying with lots of groceries and trying to hold an umbrella. I guess it is winter. Its weird that i am going into summer and you all are going into winter just have finished summer. I will be thinking of you when iam sunbathing on the beach in december!
Sunday afternoon Glenn and i went to a pub called O'Malleys. It is an irish pub and Rob was playing there with his band. They were really good and played a wide variety of old school rock songs. It was alot of fun. His parents came in for the day from the farm since it was fathers day here. Weird that it is 3 months later here but mothers day is the same. Go figure! His parents are super nice and have invited us out to the farm whenever we can so we will definitly have to take them up on that.
Yesterday was my orientation at Sea World. I have never worked for such a humungous company before so was a little taken back by all the policys and such that they have to got through with you. It was a long day! Today i worked my first shift, i am working in a cafe called cafe east. I make cappuccinos etc and they do pastries as well as ice cream. It is pretty easy and will do for the time being. I work 11-530 most days so good hours. It sure is good people watching though!:) Surfers in general is full of a different breed! But we are well, still in love and loving life. I think the thing i like the best is being able to go for a walk on the esplanade beside the ocean and sun tanning every day i want. Cant say i will be doing this in calgary when i get home! Well gotta run love you and miss you all.
Love Jen and Glenn
