Hey Jules!
Just a quick one before I head off :-) Have updated the blog for ya! You'll never believe it! Snow in October! Holy cow!
Ooooo, you're a good mum...letting them get cosy in your jacket. Tia has the same with a jumper of hers that Pepe has claimed as her own :-P Very cute indeed!
Heaths nanna has buggy races!? Woah, that is very cool! I want to be like that when i'm 92!!!
Well Jules...sorry this is so quick! I just want to say...I'll miss you! And i'll give you a call when i get back! Perhaps within the first week or so....we are 8 hours behind perth now....i think that makes it 9 hours behind you????
Anyhoos! Take care chicky and we will chat soon! Give heathrow a big bear hug for me! Miss you!!!!!

xoxo
Jules

I believe it will be your finest work ever.

hey there!
that sounds fantastic about the job! unfortunately that is not heath stalking you but i wish it was coz that means we'd be over there!
what is your title/the company you work for? what will you be doing? how does it fit in with your german classes or are they kaput ?? hehe i think that's a real german word!!!!
i love the sound of the freezing weather. that's my favourite kind of weather. While you're in Chicago are you catching up with Oprah?
Will def send you some piccies when we get up to Canegrass. i can't wait to get up there as i hear life on the farm is kinda laid back... :)
Yeah I loved seeing mum again. They are settling back into their home again and think they may be home for a year which would be nice.
Rusty & Roxy said to say hi. i am wearing a jacket (cold and wet here which is unusual considering it was 36 on saturday but that's SA weather for ya) and my jacket is COVERED in dog hair! looks soooo bad!!!! but my puppies love love sleeping on it so if i leave it on the couch then they are bound to roll themselves up in it.
heath's nanna is still with us but might need another op :( she is the coolest 92 year old and can't wait to get better to do buggy races with the other nanna.
best fly for now. chat soon babe. xxxj

Jules!
Hey hey! Sorry I've taken forever to reply….I have no idea what I've been doing!
But yeah, still have to get back to you with all of my details about my new job! Yayay! So I'm off to Chicago next Friday…where we get off the plane into ridiculously freezing weather (1 degree!) and then head out for a Halloween party! Yay We are there for a gala night on the sat and then during the next week get to meet clients and visit their medical centre etc…so that should be great! I'm really looking forward to it! Especially getting to know my work colleagues better as well..they are awesome! Oh, and would you believe…there is a guy starting on the exact same date as me…from PERTH as well!, and is also taking exactly the same dates off for holidays over Chrissy! Spooky huh! I'm looking forward to meeting him to find out if he's a long lost Perth mate stalking us! Hahaha…Is it Heath???? Hahaha Are you sure he's up at the station? You better go and check………
How's the sleepful nights going? When does Heath get home? And you are moving!?? Awesome! Send us some pics of your new abode!!!!!!
That's excellent news about Rosie! I bet she'll look absolutely smokin' in her new captains hat!!! I'll definitely look her up on facebook!
How was your date with your mum? Wow, I can't believe it…you live in the same state and it's been 4 months since you saw each other last…haha….it's a common occurrence these days huh! So much to do and see, so little time!
And Carla is building a pool! Awesome! I know where you guys will be hanging out this summer! I'm assuming there will be a big BBQ close by to this pool and a hammock!! J Perfect!
Send my best to Heathrow and his fam and his grandma for me…How is she doing? Falls are the scariest thing for elderly…especially strong elderly….you don't want it break them and make them weaker…..I'm sure she will be fine, and if she's a strong, fit lady….and a Patten at that, then she'll make a marvellous recovery! Support is everything, and no doubt she has the best support around her with you guys! Let me know how she goes. If she's a fighter, then she'll do the same in this situation J.
Hmmm, so whats news from here? Not much else really…been trying to settle back into to normality since the holiday and been getting ready for my new job and chicago and for the Europe holiday coming up at the end of the year. Kai's company are having an orienteering evening with drinks and dinner next Friday… I think they get sent on a hunt all around the city for 'stuff' until heading out to dinner and drinks…. should be heaps of fun for them!!!
Hmm,, what else….oh yeah, and Jules and Heath are coming over soon to visit us….what? yep? I'm enforcing it! GET OVER HERE! Mwah haha mwah ha ha
Say hi to the little fluff-balls for me (…the poochies… just in case there is any confusion :-P ).
Love Donz

Jules
hey babe
I just can't wait to hear about your job!!!! good things come to those who wait... and hang on- CHICAGO!?!?!?!?!? that's soooo coool!!!!!!! see if you can swing NYC in there when we're across and sneak Kai into your suitcase accidentally!!! Hey in that case - can you get any travel opportunities to Adelaide!??!?!?!?!
Heath is still up the station so i'm getting lots of sleep :) We are moving up there part time soon as there is a lovely big brand new and empty house up there that C&G built so we will be a few hours north of the city, an hour down a dirt road.
Rosie is flying up there to visit in the next few weeks so i will be there to watch her land. She past another exam - 5 down 4 to go. She got fitted for her pilot's cap yesterday and they don't make them small enough! ha! she is getting hers tailored. Join up as her friend on facebook, she is Rosy Booth on there.
I am seeing my mum for the first time today in over 4 months and only the second time in 10 months, courtesy of our varying travels! I am taking her window shopping along King William Road at all the designer stores. We will look but not touch!!!!
Carla is building a pool in her back yard right now. they a big block like your folks so they are getting sorted in time for summer.
Heath paternal grandmother had a massive stack monday night :( she fully busted the ball off her hip and broke her wrist. She is 93 and did well to pull through the operation and is now IC. She is a really tough lady with all her marbles so I hope she does good for us and makes a decision to hang in there and fight.
Give me a million little details about your job! can't wait to hear all about it in your blog!
MISS YOU! xxxjules
Donna
Haha, T....I'll get those pics through to you soon! I wish I could see the one you wanted to post! Perhaps email it???

I am officially in hate with the internet! This is the second time I have had to re-start this message on this d@mn site, so I think my lesson is finally learnt…save to a word doc first!
Ok, so I'll try to re-write the message again…
Julia Goolia!
Hahahaa yep! You are spot on! I eat a chocolate sausage dog a day…they are the easiest to catch J
You know what! Speaking of your "gym regime" which I don't believe one bit (I know you work hard!). One day when I was at the gym here, I saw a very young teenage couple walk in, wander around, sit on a few machines…and actually do nothing, then walk out for a cigarette, and then walk back in to fill up their bottles with powerade and then left! HAhahaaaa Mind you, they could have done with a good pizza each so I don't know why they felt the need to go to a gym, but it was funny nonetheless :-P
Yayay, I'm so glad you loved the postcard! Your picture last night was soooo cute! Is it seriously true that people in Adelaide only use the side of their fridges or is that just a patten thing!?? Guess what…we have a little froggie postcard in the middle of our fridge too! We LOVE IT! I would post a pic on the message board, but as you can see, Tia has already tried posting pics and it doesn't seem to work :-P haha
How is Rosie's flying coming along? How is Carla and her fam going?? Tell me more! :-P Is Heath still feeling sore and sorry or is he back out there enjoying the summer weather?? How's the cooking coming along?
Oh yeah…and I have wicked news! About a new job I have just been accepted for!!! I will tell you in an email or my next blog J It has a lot to do with cancer treatments and intellectual property and being a media analyst and going to Chicago next weekend for 5 nights, and a great great package and a lovely office with lovely people! I start in early Dec! Too excited!
Miss you guys!!!!!!! Give the poochies a big smoochie for me!
