It was a tough day for the Dawgs…a sad defeat. All that being said, the Apple Cup spirit was running strong in Australia…Mark and I made a bet on the game, I will be cleaning the new car in my Bikini later this week (thank goodness I am in Australia and it’s actually warm outside). Upon arrival at work this morning my cube was decorate in Coug colors with streamers and balloons thanks to my cube-mate an Aussie who apparently has decided to become a Coug fan (as of today, I am working on changing this). One of the 
joys of Mark and I working in the same building on the same floor is that he got to see this sight in person and laugh out loud. The cube decorating didn’t stop there…my old rival in Seattle, Colin White, was treated to some good old fashioned Husky décor courtesy of yours truly all the way from Australia. Australians take their sport seriously, I might not understand all of the sports here (netball, rugby league, rugby union, aussie rules football, field hockey…the list goes on) but I am taking my sport seriously. – You’re never too far away to be a Husky Fan - kel

Save the Date for
Mark and Kelly's Wedding
Thursday March 16 2006
Sydney Australia
Today I got an email from Tiffany and here is what she said:
“today was a really tough day for me, i tried to rally my spirits, i tried to pray for some sunshine, i tried to dress cute and have nice hair (usually helps), i tried to forget about the little things in life, i tried to think happy songs, and hum 80's love songs, but no matter what i did, said, wore, thought, hummed, i just couldn't get past the thought..... there is a nordstrom sale & i don't get to shop it with kelly. it is a sad day... a sad day i tell ya sister. but have faith! it was only the half-yearly.”
There are some things that Sydney just can’t compete with. Shopping at the Nordstrom Sale with Mom and Tiff and going for drinks and gorgonzola fries after at Palomino. Today...for me...shop at the Nordstrom Sale (send pics of what you buy) have a cosmo and some very good cheesy fries! Cheers! -kel
Mark and I took a walk along Little Narrabeen beach after work last week. The sun was setting and the beach was empty, other than a few surfers in the water we had the entire beach to ourselves. This is about 5 min. from Marks parent's house. -kel
