Before I start my post, I want to thank everybody who has been reading! Since I moved to Weebly on Saturday, I've had over 96 page views. I was expecting something like 5, so this higher number makes me very happy! Please continue reading my blog, and feel free to comment or ask me questions.

In other news, I have heard two separate traffic reports in the past week about kangaroos hopping around the roads and blocking morning traffic for commuters. I love Australia.

This morning, I found a most welcomed visitor in our apartment (it wasn't a kangaroo, sadly). I noticed it as I walked towards the closed bathroom door and thought to myself I swear I turned off the bathroom light last night! As a matter of fact, it wasn't the light but actual sunlight beaming through the window. Absolutely shocking! Most of August and September have been cold (highs of about 55 degrees during the day, which is cold here), dark and rainy. The rainfall here has broken records. There was a two week period where it poured down non-stop, all day and all night. For Adelaide, that is unheard of. The climate here is arid and dry, so it usually just sprinkles a little bit when it rains. We're all ready for it to be hot and sunny- as it should be in Australia!
Before I go, I want you all to know that I'm going to start recapping exciting events that I've experienced since I moved to Australia. Here's an idea of what you will see:
  • Travels around Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, the Grampians in Victoria)
  • The Royal Adelaide Show
  • My engagement in Clare Valley
  • My trips to Cleland Wildlife Park
  • Adelaide Fringe Festival
  • My parent's visit to Oz
For those of you who have never been to (or don't know very much about) this wonderful country, you can also expect more facts from me in the future. Bye for now!

Jenny, you are HILARIOUS! I have missed your writing SO MUCH!!! This is incredibly exciting to be able to read your blog every day (or so) because you are such a GREAT WRITER! You are so funny about the kangaroo sitings in the streets, and then your running.

I DO know a little about running, and you are doing great on your running times. Be careful about running too fast on the treadmill, since you can pull a muscle or really get so sick you'll vomit. Try intervals, where you do a minute at your fastest, then two minutes rest (run slower or walk), then repeat about 10 times. Then you can slowly decrease your rest time and increase your fastest pace. Google "interval training" and you will see how great it is. Hard but pays off.
Keep up the good work! YEAH!
