last thoughts...

I am back in Auckland and it is cold here. I would almost believe that it is always overcast in Auckland. When I returned to Queen Street Backpackers, Ben asked me if I had bought pants yet and I said--NO. But, most people that know me understand that I can be stubborn when it comes to fashion and necessity. I tried to go to my first and only Broncos Game, last year on a Monday night in shorts. It was early October, but the weather was rainy and cold. I had a pair of red running pants in my trunk which I wore to that game. Sometimes, I understand how foolish I am being.
Anyways, it is nice to be back to city life. People everywhere eating, drinking beer/cofffee and the hustle of a city compares to nothing else. I like watching the energy. My flight leaves early tomorrow morning and so I have arranged for a shuttle at 4 am--yes, 4--so that I can make it there on time and deal with the necessary departure issues. I considered staying up all night, drinking, but my arrival in Australia will suck. Instead, I will take it easy and say good bye to New Zealand.
I heard the KU is playing VT in the Orange Bowl--GO JAYHAWKS!!! I am very proud of my team and hope that basketball is trimphant, too. Best to all and take care!

Off to Austraila already? It seems like only yesterday that you started this journey. I am still in awe of how you can travel so easily alone. I would be an anxious wreck! We are taking the kids up the mountain this month and I have joked about needing some Xanax. I don't think Tab thinks I'm funny, I think he's actually gonna call the doctor himself and slip it to me before we leave. Although my anxiety in that situation is completely different than what your doing, I still don't think I could do it. Overall, I don't like people enough to start a conversation with a stranger.
Anyways, sorry I haven't been on lately. Work keeps me pretty busy. I have all of the X-mas decorations up in the house, but we have yet to start the outside. I haven't even started my X-mas shopping yet. I'm usually done by now. I'm not even realy in the spirit to be quite honest. Do you know what your plans are for X-mas? What city are you flying in to? Well babe I'm at work and have to run now. I love you and think about you everyday.

Love Jadey
