Hi Allison, Your pictures are awesome and so are you. We now have a surfer in the family! Have fun in Sydney.

Hi Al, You are missing quite the snow storm. We are thinking about you in the warmth and sun in Australia today. Take care and talk to you soon, Love, Mom

You sound like you are having a good time! Keep meeting and making new friends. Your place looks very livable. Maybe now it has a more "lived in" look. We are checking the map to see where these places are that you go. We had a great time in Hawaii, even climbed Diamond Head. I did fall on the lava and scraped myself pretty good. We saw a black sand beach--any in Australia? Have a great start in your studies next week.

Looking good in the swinsuit! So I have a quick little story for you. I was watching figure skating this weekend, and these pair skaters were on the ice doing a side by side combination spin, and the guy's blade knicked the girls face and she went flying across the ice. You couldn't see anything at first because she was face down holding the side of her face, but when the paramedic came out her whole left side of her face was gashed open. I am so glad that evan isn't in pairs skating, I don't want him getting hurt :)

Thanks for all the messages......I just found them today:)

Hey there pal! I hope you are having an amazing time down under! Hopefully it will feel a little like home soon... it will if you have The Bear with you, but if not that's ok too. Enjoy yourself man, by the way, we are having a heat wave here in WI - 40 degrees!

Mom passed on your blog and your adventurous stories. May be a little anxious but that will soon pass. I will keep an eye on mom for you. You just have fun and see a lot while you are there. It is something I passed up in college and still regrete. I am jelous! Love you stay safe, Watch out for the crocadile hunters not the crocs. Deb

Hey chica! Wow - you had quite the luck traveling :) I'm glad that you are there now...finally! Can't wait to see pics! Miss you already!
