The last couple of weeks

Its' been a while since I have written anything. It's been pretty crazy over here. A lot has been happening.
Thursday January 25th we started softball again. So I was at practice and a few people said oh it's going to rain. I was in the middle of a pitching lesson and we saw some dark clouds forming. The clouds looked like there was a huge fire with black smoke filling the sky. About 2 minutes later it started raining on us. When I say raining I mean God took the biggest bucket he could find and dumped it straight over our heads. I had to run about 15 feet to get to a cover and I was soaked by the time I got there. The storm lasted for about 45 minutes and there was nothing we could do but wait it out. It was way too hard to start to drive in. the whole place around us turned into one giant river. Water was gushing out everywhere. I have never seen a storm so hard in my life.
so we ended softball early obviously and I jumped in the car with our friend Tek. The next day was Australia day so she was going to take Meribeth and I with her to the damn for some jet skiing. Australia day is like our 4th of July.
We woke up early in the morning and headed up to the damn. they are in such a big drought here that the damn is only 20% full.
Now I really don't understand how in the world this place is in a drought because it rains almost every day here. It rains harder than I have ever seen in my life. If you dug a whole it would be a swimming pool in an hour. So somebody screwed up horribly when designing their water systems here. now they're talking about people drinking recycled sewage water. Man I hope that doesn't go into effect until April 2nd.
Anyways, so we get up to the damn and unload some stuff and put the jet ski in the water. Tek has two little kids, Tiana whose 7 and Corey whose 2 1/2. We rode on a thing called a ski bob which is like banana shaped and you straddle the thing, and personally I think the point of it is to see whose knees break first but that's just me. We did some wakeboarding and I actually got up a few times so that was a lot of fun. I got so excited that I was up out of the water that I would forget you still had to stay up.
We had a great time enojoying the water and the heat.
After the damn we went straight over to a bbq at our friend Grunters house. We ate some good food and just hung out with a lot of the friends we made. It was nice but nothing too crazy.
Other than that we have been doing a few things here and there. We moved out of our apartment. That went smoothly. Our landlord was really nice and friendly. Man we have a lot of stuff though. it will be interesting to see how we can get it all home.
We also stopped working. It's a wierd feeling not having a job anymore. But it's so nice too. I'm not sure how I'm going to go back and be a real person again after this trip.
Last week we went to Wet and Wild which is a water slide park. It was really fun. The water slides are pretty much exactly the same as ours but the park was a little bigger than ours I think.
We played our first softball game after the break yesterday and we lost 5-3. There is no hope of going to play-offs so we only have 3 games left.
This trip has gone by so fast I can't believe it. Tonight we leave for Darwin. IT's kind of crazy because we heard their might be a cyclone coming their way. I'm really excited though for all the experiences we have even if it's in the middle of a cyclone.
