Month Update-13 March to 13 April
My life over the last month-ish
Week 3 @ Uni 13th March to 18th March
Uni stuff. Work at swimming. Not much worth mentioning really...well nothing i can remember
Week 4 @ Uni 19th March to 25th March
Uni stuff due so worked on assignments. Fell in love with my Eco-rec unit - get to go Kayaking, sailing, camping and abseilling for it. Did kayaking in the river for the unit during this week: was fun! i got lost on the way there; who can blame me i'm slightly directionally challenged *cough* and it was at Sandy Beach reserve in Bassendean (hey i'd never even heard of that suburb before!!) was great we got to try out a few different canoes and kayaks, had races and were amazed at the size of the jellyfish in the river (some are HUGE!). All in all was awesome. Went on a field trip for Cultural tourism to the Art Gallery - was fun we got a guided tour and were not in the classroom (always a plus) :P Had to do certificates for my swimming kids and figure out if they passed the level or not...some did some didn't was alright tho.
Week 5 @ Uni 26th March to 1st April
More assignments due at uni (what do you expect - i have at least 1 uni assignment due each week till end of semester excepting mid-semester break and week 8). Lots of uni work and freaking out about the amount of work i have to do - mreep :S. In other news once i got to thursday it was smooth sailing (hee hee) i laugh because on thursday Roseanna and I plus the other Cruise Ship Tourism students went on a cruise along the Swan River from Perth to Freo and back. Was a very cruisy day (oh please don't stop me *giggles*). No class and relaxing and chatting with Roseanna - totally awesome!! Work on thursday no work on friday coz was me and Ty's 2 year anniversairy. So Friday 30th March me and Tyler's 2 year anniversairy of being boyfriend and girlfriend : ) We went to King Park for a picnic (lovely day), stayed the night in a hotel in Ascot by the river (soo pretty) and had a delishious dinner at 150 East resturant which was by the hotel we stayed in. On Saturday we went to the GO3 conference (or whatever it was called) some It/gaming/whatever else conference Tyler wasnt that impressed with it, was interesting tho. Saturday night i stayed at Tyler's and on sunday we went up to Moore River and went camping. Was lovely up there tho extremely windy. We thought the tent might blow over!
Week 6 @ Uni 2nd April-8th April
Continued from Moore River; Luckily it didn't and was still standing on monday morning! Monday we spent in Moore river for a while walking on beach and throughout the whole weekend taking way too many photos. We then went to Whitfords and bought easter eggs for his family and my family. Back at uni again and my 2000 word Cruise Ship assignment was due was done and i was happy with it so that was good. Last week of term 1 swimming at work and it went well as it was "play week" and the kids get to jump off the diving boards and mess around in tubes. Then Good Friday came along and Kim, Steph, Shannon and myself went to Callum's place for Vic&Callum's Easter party. Was great fun got to see Vic, Kim, Steph, Shannon and chat for ages. Kim, Steph and Shannon left after a yummy lunch and i stayed on till after 7pm i think. Chatting to Vic and the boys there was lovely, sadly Tyler couldn't come coz he had to work. Then Saturday till Easter Monday Tyler and I went to Bridgetown to see his family and have Easter with them. It was lovely to see them again and have time with them. The drive there and back also wasn't too bad.
Mid-Semester break @ Uni 9th April-15th April
So Easter monday came home from Bridgetown and just hung out with Tyler. Tuesday i worked on my cruise powerpoint and written paper and then stayed the night at Tyler's. Wednesday I finished my cruise powerpoint and paper - which I happy with tho also annoyed coz i didn't think it would take me a whole another day to do and it did. Thursday i did research for an Industry report on the backpacking industry in Australia, after getting annoyed with journal articles in general, I went off and saw Vic for a few hours and just hung out. Today I have now finally finished the Industry paper ( i swear making assignments worth 10% or something equally small makes students doubt whether it is really worth doing them) and i rejoiced at finishing it. I also finished my group assignment with Ash Harrold as we collaberated our work today. Tonight I am staying at Tyler's and he is making me dinner. Soo that should be nice...
Love you all. Hope to hear from you soon,

Didn’t have work coz it was AUSTRALIA DAY. Worked in the city for 2 hours and then went to the beach with Tyler and Mike. Was a really hot beautiful day. In the evening went to the Hillary Fireworks show with Sarah C + her friend, Shannon and Tyler. We all had fun trying to find each other as there were soo many people there and there was amazing lightning over the sea as well as the awesome fireworks. The rest of the weekend was cool also.

27th February till 4th March
First week back at uni. This semester I’m doing Principles of Eco-recreation – leisure unit that involves kayaking, abseiling, sailing and camping :P, Cultural tourism, Tourism Business Development – last compulsory unit that I don’t want to be but of course have to and Cruise ship tourism. 1st lectures for all of these unit are pretty cruisy going through unit information and not much else.

Was awesome we had a 3 course meal with all family and a few friends yummy food, good company, yummy desert. Was a great night!!
5th March to 11th March
Went to the Fogs for dinner on 5th (Meg’s actual birthday). My car is at the mechanics and will be there till all of the rust is taken out of it…its fun having to borrow my parents car and not having a car on some days :S Worked on uni stuff this week and did uni. Went to Freo on Thursday for Cruise ship tourism which was fun after our guest lecture me and my friend Roseanna went and had lunch at Dome and then went to a medieval shop there and I fell in love with a gorgeous dress, see you should never take me to medieval shops or dress shops in general I will find something I love and then cry that it’s too much and thus can buy it without feeling guilty. Work at swimming this week as usual also but was parent discussion week so have to say how kids are going and what we need to work on – fun. Saturday me and Tyler went for a surfing lesson at Scarborough beach (a pressie I got him for his 21st). Was awesome fun! We got wetsuits and boards, sat on the beach while our instructor went through safety, dangers in ocean, how to catch a wave and practiced getting up on our boards on the beach. We then got into the surf. It was soo fun to be out there surfing again. We had huge Mac-T like boards meaning they were really floaty and easy to catch waves on. I got some awesome rides and Tyler stood up many times, we both also wiped out many times but everyone was smiles by the end of the lesson. Sunday we went to see Man of the Year at the cinemas with Mike and Jo…was an alright movie. Then dinner and I came home.
Will update on this week later once I actually have stuff to update on.
Love you all…tell me what you’ve been up to!!

Alright and now my news…
21st Dec – 24th Dec
Saw Flushed Away with my cousins from England (their family – 2 little girls (Paige -12 and Tyra -9yrs) + the parents were in our house for all of December) and Megan and Tyler. Very funny movie = love the slugs! Went Salsa dancing with Charmianne (netball friend) at the Ruby Room, Burswood it’s on every Thursday night at 7pm till around 9pm and it’s free – great fun. Went to Scitech with the my cousins and Meg and Fayth – fun again tho I’m glad they aren’t mine – babysitting is such work. Had a BBQ on 23rd Dec with the Fogs – Kate Fog and her family + English family and other people. Was fun tho I was missing Tyler coz he went to his family for Christmas from Sat 23rd and only came home on boxing day evening. Went to Church on Christmas Eve morning – was really great and got to catch up with heaps of ppl.
25th Dec – 31st Dec
Soo much has happened. Christmas day was madness – so many people and pressies and fun. Got awesome photos with my cousins and uncle and aunt and sister. Just some fun ones and a few posed ones. Got some really great pressies – cooking book, bath things, makeup, body shop things, Belgium chocolate!!, and big pressie from my parents was my queen double bed – tiz lovely!! On the 26th Tyler came home from Bridgetown and stayed with me the night and we did our mini Christmas it was really nice to be able to exchange pressies and be back together again – he was away for several days I hate not seeing him!
On the 27th I went shopping in Harbour town – didn’t buy anything except lunch but helped my sister get some stuff. Then went to city and sat in a lovely park and chatted with Tyler before he went to work. On that afternoon Meg and I were babysitting my cousins – Paige and Tyra till the parents would be home the next day in the afternoon. Can we say 24hrs of babysitting?!?!?!??! Got them having dinner, bathed and into bed alright. The next day Meg and I took the girls to the Hillarys waterslides which they enjoyed and some swimming on the beach. The parents got home form the Burswood – my parents and the girls’ parents had gone for there for the night around 3pm. Let’s just say me and Megan are keen NOT to have kids for a while yet…they are lovely but A LOT OF WORK!! That night we went to Sizzlers with a group of family and friends and then went Bowling. It was soo much fun :P
29th went to the beach and the like I think. In evening Tyler and I went on a crazy road trip to Belvoir Amphitheatre which is in Middle Swan on the Great Northern Highway to go see Cat Empire. Was a mission finding the place but lucky for me I have a great navigator in Tyler. The concert was wonderful. We waited from 6-7.30pm for a band to come on. Then from around 7.30-8.30/9pm a rubbish band played – well I didn’t like them. And then from 9-11pm Cat Empire played – they were soo awesome, they are such a good band and they skcated (improvised …I can’t spell it) in each song and everything.
30th we went to Adventure world with English family, my family and Fogartys. Went on the go-karts (waited for 45mins for a turn but yea was fun), went on speed slides the racing ones I came 2nd – Tyler was first, Megan 3rd and Jenny (Kate Fogs littlest sister) was 4th. We also went on the Tunnel of Terror, other waterslides, bumper boats, Bounty’s Revenge, Roller coaster and more. Was a great day.
31st Dec…New Years. Nothing much during day went to marina for a bit. In evening I was allowed a few friends over for New Years – Kim and Mikey and Vic and Callum came over. We went to the beach, played in the pool, went for a walk, had a nice dinner and did Karaoke. Was good fun. Tyler, my friends, plus my family was around plus their friends and some of the Fogartys’.
1st Dec – now
New Years day went to sleep at some hour. Got up later that day and went to Farwell to Paige, Tyra + their parents’ lunch at Portofinos at Hillarys. Lots of family saying goodbye to them were at the lunch. Was yummy and the rest of the day messed around and had fun in pool and packing their bags. Later that night they went to the airport and Tyler and me went back to his for dinner. Came home early and went to bed
Am working this week and then I got some holidays. Trust me when I say working for 2 ½ hrs in an outdoor pool this morning from 9-11.30am in an outdoor pool teaching toddlers how to swim in the rain was not on my top ten things to do in 2007 list!!
Speaking of such things hope you have a great 2007!! And I send lots of love and hugs and kisses to you all. Hope to hear from you soon.

Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off
Soo...an update since you don't really know what I've been up to since the 20th of Nov. Not much really, well stuff of course but not really much to pay attention to.
I've been working every afternoon at swimming. I went to the waterslides with Kim and Mikey on the 21st of November which was great fun and I got to meet Mikey for the first time - he's a really nice guy if you havent met him yet try to. Netball continues on wednesday evenings our team is pretty good and we win 75% of the games we only have one more week left : (
I went away from 24th November to 27th November which was an experience. After a lot of negotiating I was allowed to drive myself and Tyler to Bridgetown and back of course with a few "rules" but yea still good. We had Tyler's nieces birthday party which was cool, many walks around Bridgetown, a swim in the river - Blackwood i think it is...oh and for all of you who did any school excursions with Stannie (aka FOOTH) Tyler and I got something from the MIAMI BAKEHOUSE!! still as yummy as ever! Other then that Tyler did a lot of computer stuff with Lorin (his brother) and generally we hung out with the family and had a good time. It was great to just get away from it all.
I got back and sorted out my life. We've had builders/trademen in our house all of November doing the upstairs bathroom - which means they get there early and generally wake up the whole household with their banging...yes i know they can't help making noise but couldnt they start at a more humane hour?? Other things to sort out in my life were doing my certificates for the kids at swimming,,,figuring out if they were gonna pass into the next level or not. Also getting the house ready for the family from England cleaning and tidying and doing washing and more CLEANING!
On Thursday 30th Nov i got to go to Robbie Willaims concert. He is brillant. Robbie is such a great entertainer - his songs rock and Meg & I basically were singing along to all of them. His stage was amazing too with fireworks, fire, flashing lights and great sound. It was brillant...can't tell you how great it was.
Making house lovely. Trying to build a bed - bedframe that didn't have all the pieces was great fun *sarcasim* Cleaning spree that went on for hours was avoided by me doing the last minute shopping list that took me several hours. And then cleaning and more cleaning. The family from England arrived early the next morning and got home and slept. Tyler, myself, Kim, Mikey, Vic, Callum and Roseanna ...well we all went to Adventure World. Which was a great day of fun and rides and lines, but we mostly avoided sunburn and enjoyed ourselves. Later that day Tyler and I had a family BBQ with Ellie, Fayth, Jd and Family from england + of course my family...twas fun. Oh and the joy of Daylight savings began.
Soo...this week.
Went job searching with my sister and 15 resumees...that was fun :S Went to shops also and looked around. Tuesday shops again i think. Wednesday last minute Xmas shopping at Karrinyup shops and Netball in evening. Thursday saw Tyler and work of course every afternoon this week. Today saw Tyler, took Meg to her friends house, work and that's about it.
This weekend will be busy with Bronze SLS requal on sat morning, cleaning in city, and BBQ on sat evening. Then sleepover at Tylers and hopefully seeing James Bond on sunday at some point. Also making my new bed frame as it should arrive on Saturday :) w00t!
That is all...hope u like the long update and you aren't asleep with boredom. Update me about your life soon too plz. Oh and if you're free some afternoon next week 11th-15th or anytime the next week tell me coz we should catch up. Tell me when you are available and we'll work a plan.
