Mt Warning and Christmas 06

Christmas Eve a few of us crazy kids climbed up Mt Warning!!for those of you who don't know its the first place in australia to get hit by the sun every day!and yes i know its summer but it was a really nice day and wasn't too hot!I had never done the climb before and 15mins into the walk Cara and I were asking...are we almost there?All up it only took us 1.5hr!which is pretty good considering its spose to be a 4hr round trip!!thank goodness!i was already considering asking the SES to come get me off the top of the mountain! Kloden had a nice cold beer waiting up the top! and the walk down was much more enjoyable!Cara and I got to talk lots...hehe and cara wore in her shoes so the day was a success Kloden and I on the walk down (the easy part=0)
Andrew (aka Canada) Cara Lisa myself Mitch and Kloden at the top! The German girls- 2 christmas' in a row!!

The stumers at christmas- minus zac!!

Christmas not in canada. Lisa and Andrew's first warm christmas=)

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

For all of you reading this!!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!May you have the best one yet!!

I'll be brief...please feel free to flip through the photos of the past few months.(I know I find the photos most interesting!!)
This year I have been very lucky!!extremely lucky!!I started the year in Paris and will end it here on the Goldie with friends!!Reflecting on the year past there is SO much to be thankful for! France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Poland, Czech rep, Switzerland Liechtenstein Austria Thailand US Canada!!!I can't believe I have been to all those places this year!!I got to work at camp again in New Jersey (my second fav. Place on earth)! which is a huge privilege, an indescribable love I will hold forever! It really is true when I say that camp stole a piece of my heart and there ain't no chance of even trying to get it back! I forever am in debt to the kids and staff of Tecumseh!
The stumers have come out on top! Dad walks further away from me everyday…hehe soon he’ll be walking faster and I’ll be the one to catch up!!Enjoy the photos! I hope in some way I have been able to share something with you this year!!There is always Next year for even more fun times! You know me…I’ll be ready anytime! give us a call!!and as for all you internationals…aka ‘non-Australian citizens’ COME VISIT ME…I miss you!!
See you in 2006 xx

Christmas Parties and Special Events

It's celebration season YIPEE and you can tell!Lots of fun christmas parties and dinners...good times!
I don't know if I've caught up with ya'll but I'm back (yet again) at the marriott and we had our christmas party last week!very fun (random) night!!I won the 1st lucky door prize (which I felt kinda bad about considering I'd only been back for a week...but it was tickets to Robbie Williams and that rocked!!TIP...if you ever go to a RW concert don't tell the person next to you that you won your tickets...and just say 'absolutely' when he asks if your a huge fan!its alot easier...i hope?!?) Pimp Daani and the REC girls

Last night I was lucky enough to celebrate the life and the birthday of my dear friend Lisa's Dad. It was such a perfect night and i don't think anyone could have enjoyed themselves more!They have left his best birthday til last i think!What an awesome father and friend!Everyone loves John!

To fit in with the theme 'BIG'...Nathan's eyebrows and my hair!

It's home time for Mimi...at least for a bit!!!and we love her to bits!!!Outside Zaraffas...the stumer kids=)
