long tiime!

yeah i know its been a long time but nothing is new. getting more hours at work which is good. started picking which is a good alternate to pruning (which we are still doing but also picking so it throws in a mix) and did one afternoon of tomatoe packing. needless to say i am sick of tomatoes.

Ive been here about 2.5 weeks now and im planning on probabley another 2 more. maybe 3 not really sure yet. ive had a falling out with julia - we dont really talk to eachother and are extremely sick of eachother (well i am of her anyway) so i really dont think i will be doing the whitsunday sail with her. at least i hope not to, im gonna see if i can get around it.

a french guy, nicholas was looking at buying a big bus to travel in and i would totally be up for something like that i think. he doesnt know the price or anything but will call on it. drive over to alice springs and perth. i think that would be a fantastic trip!

otherwise my days are pretty standard - wake up at 430am - leave for work at 520ish (it changes every day) -wait around for work to start at 6am - work as late as 12 - wait around for the van to come pick us up. this sometiems takes as long as an hour - back at the hostel go for a swim (sometimes! i try not to procrastinate) - eat - watch dvds - chat - go on the internet....and thats it!

it could be my imagination but i think ive noticed a bit of an extra fat around my midsecton that wasnt there before...YIKES! so i picked up a panphlet from the local gym that has drop-in classes for $7 so i think i will indulge in that a few times a week. although i am only here for a few more weeks.

this is a really boring town but im going to miss it for sure. i like being settled you know? and i really like alot of the people i am meeting.

hope all is well back at home! much love!

hi alia,
it's GREAT to hear from you! im sure your sick of tomatoes, i think i would too. for awhile at least.

it's okay to have a little "fat" around your mid section, you should see me. lol. round!! im sure you still have your amazing girlish figure! i posted a picture of baby. it's not the best, i think we need a new scanner?

i know what you mean about being settled. moving around all the time makes it kind of hard to meet people and become somewhat friends.

hopefully the weather is fantastic there, i woke up to SNOW this morning. yuck! i just wish it would just go away already... t's getting ridiculous.

i better get going, im hungry. take care alia.

thinking of you.
love always... your lady, Christine. :) XO.

Yes it is pretty boring down here...it has been snowing this week! In fact it's snowing right now...
I'm having a big poker game at my place tonight...so that's the extent of my excitement.
Oh! And I went swimming by myself yesterday...for exercise! It was okay, but I realised that swimming isn't my best quality. I had to stop after 5 laps...
Hope you're having fun! I miss you!

it's nice to hear about what you're doin no matter what it is.....even if it's just pruning, picking and packing tomatoes!!!

happy to hear you like being settled there, i'm sure it helps for you to be able to absorb more since you're not worrying about what you're doin next week or what the plans are gonna be....you've got time, enjoy it!!

too bad about julia but from what you've said since you met her it doesn't sound like she's too much fun to travel with, besides you're there for you and not her so don't worry about it, just take care of you and do what you wanna do!!!

only 3 more days of classes left for me and then i'm officially done school 2 weeks after that....i can't wait!!!

well i should go study i guess....talk to you soon hopefully

love ya!!!
XOXOXO

Hi Honey Bunny;

Alia, I have to tell you that the Easter Bunny came and left you something, but, we thought, seeing as you might not get here for a while, and well, we didn't want it to go bad. Well, hummmm, you can guess what happened to your bunny. Sorry. There is always next year.

Again, sorry.

Love you.... Mamma and Daddy

p.s. CONGRATULATIONS KELLEY!!! WOOHOO!!!
