A big ol' update

What up? I know it's been a while since my last update - but I had a pretty productive weekend and haven't been on the internet in days. So I have much to share with you all (kind of). Brig & I had a successful week getting up at 6 am every day to go to work....but we actually kind of love our job because we can just listen to our iPods all day and type in info to a computer and get paid pretty well to do so. Megan & Kelsey got hired at the same place too!!! They are doing customer service, so basically just taking people's orders over the phone. I think it's going to be a little overwhelming for everyone else to have all of us working in the same place.....but it's going to be awesome. I'm pretty excited. Plus, now we will never be late for work since there are 4 of us who have to wake up. But, I feel sad and kind of like an underachiever because the other girls all have other jobs.


Thursday night, after work, the girls met us in Sydney to go to a Noodle Festival in Sydney. It was just a huge food fest with a bunch of stands of Asian food, art, booze, and fun. We ate a ton...I have more pics to include of all our different courses, but I figured it would be kind of obnoxious to post them all....so one will have to do.



After the food festival, we went back to the hotel that Erin's dad got for us for the night. It was the Shangri-La which is a big chain throughout this region. When we got there, we went up to the 36th floor bar and got the "money table" which had a perfect view over looking the city and the opera house. When we opened up the menu....we saw something called "Martini on the Rock" which literally cost $10,000. Pretty crazy. Needless to say, we could only afford one drink. Then we went to bed....which was fantastic to be in a clean environment for a change.



Friday night we went out with our friend, Bonnie's, sister and her friend. Above is a pic of us at World Bar in Sydney. There was an indie rock festival happening, which we didn't know about, so the bar was jam packed with a bunch of emo kids. Two of the guys we were with almost didn't get in because they "weren't following dress code". They were told that next time, they need to have on tighter jeans, converse shoes, and a band t-shirt. It was pretty funny.


Saturday, Erin, Taryn, Natayla, Ryan, Tyler (who are here visitng), and I took their awesome rental van to a beach about 45 minutes away. It was huge and really pretty, but it was kind of a cold windy day. Ryan tried to surf, which is funny because he can't swim or surf. I thought the life guards were going to have to save him.


This is the van we took - the back says "Marriage is an attempt to turn a night owl into a homing pigeon". We got some stares while we were driving.


This is Erin and I at the beach.

Today we are going to the biggest IMAX theater in the world to watch a 3D movie entitled Under the Sea. Pretty Excited.

Ok that's all I have for now. Did you guys love how the pics went along with my story line today?
