Well, life continues down under. My mom has gone home but kelsey is still here. Had to go back to work last monday which was hard after 10 days on the beach. Its weird that christmas is on its way and it is 30 degrees out side. Kendra is arriving on dec 3rd and we will see her around xmas time and another friend hans is actually coming to visit us too. He arrives xmas day so we will be partying it up with the canadians on new years! And also at the end of january glenns mom is coming too, so we have lots of company until we begin our final travels of australia.
Glenn kelsey and i are all hurting today since we went out on the town with robb last night. I think we had a weee... too much. My liver has definitly taken a beating on this trip. But this was just a quick note to say hey we miss you all and will chat soon.
Love Jen and Glenn

Well, 10days have just flown by, my mom is already going home on sunday:( Things have been just great, we have had a blast together. Last monday i took the crew to Sea World, i had never actually wandered around and seen the shows so it was alot of fun. We had absolutely gorgeous weather, and they had a chance to see where iam working right now.
Tuesday, glenn worked but kelsey, my mom and i went on a day tour of O'reillys and Tamborine mountain. It is the mountain/rainforest range right near us. We had another beautiful day and were able to get in a few walks through the rainforest. Yesterday, we rented a car and i drove us to the Sunshine coast where we went to the "Australia Zoo". It is the zoo that Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter built. It was awesome definitly one of the best zoos we have ever been too. My mom was really happy cause she was able to pet kangaroos and koalas, she was in heaven. We had to pull her away! The zoo is very hands on and allows you to get right up close and personal with the animals, we got to feed elephants, pet koalas, kangaroos and wombats and lots of others. We watched a live feeding of crocodiles and learned lots about the wild life. The concept is that when people get to be close to the animals they will want to do more to save them. It was super cool!!!
We have lucked out the weather has been really good for all of our day trips and we have also gotten in lots of beaching. It has been a very fun filled busy week and iam sad that it is almost over. I have to go back to work on Sunday:( Kelsey is here till dec 12th so we get to visit with her lots more before she goes. Tomorrow night we are headed to watch Willy play at one of his gigs before my mom leaves. Well thats the update for this week, hope all is well with everyone back home, we miss all of you, and think about you everyday!!! Chat soon!
Love Jen and Glenn

More Schimpfs in Australia!

Well, my mom and Kelsey have arrived in the great down under. They went sailing in the whitsundays before we met up here on the gold coast and they had a blast. It so beautiful no words can describe. We have lucked out the weather has been beautiful and we were able to go to the beach yesterday and do some body surfing. The waves here are killer they can knock you right off your feet. It was kelsey's first hot beach experience and she is pretty impressed!
Iam officially off work for 10days so iam excited, i think it will be hard to go back. Its super exciting to have my mom and kelsey here, we still need to pinch ourselves to make sure its real. We will be doing some beaching and keeping busy but all in all things are really good. We are going to go to the lansdowne to watch rob play tonight so that should be fun. But i love you all and miss you and make sure to keep warm!
love jen and glenn, kelsey and julie:)

Hello,
Well, cant believe its already November man how time flys. November 12th we will have been gone six months and we only have six months till we have to come home. I do have to say i love hearing about snow back home while im on the beach it sure makes me feel good.
Well this week, Glenn and i both had good things happen at work. Glenn won a dive competition that his boss holds for the person to sell the most dives and he won a hundred dollars, and i got employee of the week! How funny is that i now have my picture on the wall and i got a huge fruit and vegie basket as well as a stuffed polar bear. I always used to joke at the salon that i was employee of the month and now its official! haha
Saturday night glenn, saud, willy and i went on our own little pub crawl around town. It was alot of fun, we went to the casino and won enough to pay for our drinks for the evening and also stopped at a couple places to hear some bands. We also met up with Robbie at the mermaid tavern for a couple drinks as well. He had his last exam so he was out for a celebration evening. But things over all are good, we miss everyone back home tons and hope you all stay warm!!!!!
Love lots and talk soon.
Jen
