I'm getting comfortable being here now which is pretty nice, I've got myself saying "I reckon" and "rubbish" without even realizing it :) Yikes! As I've said I'm living with a nice family and it has been great to eat well and have a bedroom all of my own!!!
I've learned some funny things from Justine in various conversations...the other day we are driving and she nonchalantly says, "Oh one of those yachts is Tom Cruises's! Or at least it was I know he was trying to sell it." In little Kiama in a small town harbor only a mile from my bedroom is Tom Cruise's yacht!! She said Drew has sailed with him before and she used to ride the bus to school with Nicole Kidman!! She said she was the snutty girl in school and they used to play little pranks on her! haha!
I've pretty much seen all of Kiama - it has two blowholes which are kind of fun and so many bluffs. Justine took me to meet her friends Rhonda and Randol too because Rhonda is from Pittsburgh, it was nice to talk to someone who is from America!! Her and Randol met backpacking through and she moved here and they have 4 kids now.
I'm trying to find somethings to do to fill my freetime - I popped into the local paper and I'm sending him writing samples so there might be an opportunity for some freelance writing and I popped into a Curves for Women gym and there might be an opportunity for me to help out there too - we'll see! But I really need to fill some of my time so I don't get bored and lonely in the little beach town!
We are now in Watson's Bay for the week which is great because there are actually people my age!! And it is beautiful - it is where Sydney Harbor meets the ocean! My run this morning was awesome all along these HUGE bluffs and by some cool lighthouses. Last night I went with two other nannies - a 20 yr old from Germany and a 25 yr old from Queensland and we played some pool at the corner pub. There was a big group of guys there who are in the navy and staying at the barracks just up the street so we went to their barrack bar! It was so nice to be social and fun to hear their stories from so many different places and they were gentleman - it's kind of cute, guys here call gals darling all the time, it makes me giggle.
Well, kids are running around so I should probably get to it! Miss you all!! Lots of Love!

Hi---I'm back! I wanted to say Thank you for doing this Blog, I really enjoy reading it and even feeling a bit of your experience. I know this is a treat for us reading it and nice of you to share. This will be a nice memory journal-ish for you. Again...love you!
"I reckon?"... If you wanted to hear words like that all you had to do is go to Arkansas for awhile, not Australia... Could have saved you a couple thousand dollars and a two day plane ride.
