Out with 2007 in with 2008!

Well cant believe that 2007 is over and it is already 2008. All of you back home are getting ready to celebrate your new years eve 07 and in Australia we have already celebrated last night and are recouperating the next day!! I still find that weird. We had a really nice quiet christmas, xmas eve we barbequed a chicken and had mash and gravy aswell as cauliflower and cheese sauce. It was our attempt at xmas away from home and tasted great. On xmas day Hans arrived and we had a barbeque it was weird having a barbeque on xmas day in the sun. We even spent the afternoon at the beach.:) Kendra arrived on the 27th and we have been drinking and eating everyday since, we are starting a detox tomorrow when they both leave! Last night we celebrated new years eve. The fire works unfortunately were cancelled due to cyclone weather. Actually since Kendra and Hans have arrived the weather has been awful, i think they jinxed it or something cause it has not been this bad since we have been here. For New years eve, Kendra took us for dinner to a restuarant called the "Captains Table" we had kangaroo which actually is amazingly good, tastes like really lean steak, Crocodile which is a mix of fish and chicken. Flaky like fish but tastes like chicken, and lobster. It was a feast fit for kings! After we hit a few club/pubs and drank, drank, drank! It was alot of fun. Tonight we are spending our last night together before they both head out in the morning. I think Glenn and i are going to have alittle empty nest syndrome we have had visitors since november. All in all things are really good, 2007 is over and we are in to 2008. I hope every one has an amazing New Years and we are thinking about you all everyday. Love you and miss you bye for now.
Love Jen and Glenn

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well i just wanted to wish everyone a very merry christmas! I cant believe that it is already that time of year. How 2007 is already over is beyond me! Im sure everyone is busy as bees, running through the crowded malls picking up last minute gifts and such. We have no definite plans for xmas day, have been invited to a few barbeques and may just do a little bq crawl and hang out on the beach. Ohhh... rough life!!
We miss everyone tons, hope you have all had an amazing year and cant wait to see you all in 2008!
Merry Christmas Love Glenn and Jen in Australia:)
XOXOXO

The last "Schimpf" goes home:(

Well its been a month now i cant even believe it but Kelsey has to go home. She leaves this 30 degree climate to come back to the snow! We have had a blast having her here and are sad to see her go. Saturday night we went out on our last big drinking night with Robb and the boys. Lets just say "YagerBombs" were involved and we all were feeling pretty gooood....! Yesterday we went to the "Wet 'n' wild" water park and took on the water slides. We all know we have gotten older because our patience for standing in lines is definitly not there anymore. Today we are spending her last day on the beach before she leaves. I hope all of you are doing well we miss you tons!!!
Love Jen and Glenn

Less than 25 days till Xmas!:)

Well, life continues on the gold coast. It has absolutely been gorgeous weather. Both Glenn and i are getting into a little more routine but have been keeping up the drinking with Kelsey still here! I have heard from a few that it has been very cold in Calgary so i can for sure say that iam not missing that.
I sure cant believe that it is already december, how time flys. We are trying to decide our plans for xmas which can i say is super weird @ 30 degrees! There are decorated xmas trees on the beach! Our friends Kendra and Hans will be here for the 25th so we might do our own thing, or we have been invited to Robbs uncles for a luncheon. I may have to try and cook a turkey with mashed potatoes though cause i dont think Glenn will let me get away with no turkey for xmas. Men and there food! But we are very happy and enjoying our trip. But thats all for now, and i will talk to you all soon! Love Jen and Glenn
