really

We are really in America.
We really made it.
I really love American food...(ok, Mexican and Italian...maybe not so American)
But my stomach doesn't really agree with it all yet.
I really only was jet lagged for 2 days.
I really already got a job.

And,
I really do remember that I have a blog, 
and really have heaps of photos and news of the move to blog about.

But I really am too busy. Moving is madness.
Especially overseas.
I really would not recommend it for the faint of heart.
Or for me.  At least until I'm able to forget it all.
Like having a baby I suppose:
a painful, time-consuming process but as time goes on, you do it again.
and again.
and again.
Not that I would really know.
Really.

So I really will update this blog soon. 
Really.

Change...

Pretty soon we won't be "down under" any more so the name of the blog and URL address will be changing in the next couple days...shouldn't effect the followers.

Stay posted...

Summer...

Remember when you were a kid and the summer meant freedom?
Summer meant everything.

It meant climbing trees...do kids even do this any more?

Sprinkler under the trampoline...sprinklers take on a whole new level when you throw a trampoline into the mix.
{at least that's how I remember it}

Night games...one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock ROCK!
{Olly Olly Oxen Free!}

Drinking from the hose....is that even legal any more?
{"but what about bacterias?"}

Attempting to float/walk all the way down the nearby creek...remember Janika? 
{Darn spiders. Always stopped at the spiders part.}

Endless trips/bike rides to the Sno Shack...mmmm Maui Wowee please.

Laying on the cement to dry off from sprinklers, pool...etc.
{I loved seeing what shape my body mark would make}

Playing Titanic on the "big toy"
{my heart will go on!}

Disneyland...oh how I miss Disneyland.

Parades, festivals, BBQ's and fireworks...America, need I say more?

I was thinking of the summer and all these memories just came flooding back.
I miss those days.  
Summer livin' and the life is easy.
So all you kids that are still enjoying summer bliss, throw in a day for me.
For my childhood.
We'll miss summer this year, but next summer don't be surprised if you see me out with the gang,
counting to "12 o'clock MIDNIGHT" on your doorstep.

Ah, summer.
