Shiney's House in Hervey Bay

So its Wednesday and I am going to tell you about my weekend last weekend at Sharnie's house... At least  I am getting to it before the new weekend comes :). Friday I went to the plaza with Hayley trying to let time go by before we hit the road to go to Hervey Bay to Sharnie's family's house.  We spent a little time at the plaza and then I came home and packed.  We didn't leave until 4:00pm because Natalie had a teacher's conference that lasted later then it was supposed to.

Once we got to Hervey Bay (3 hour drive) Sharnie showed us a couple hot spots in her town like her old school, friends houses, good pubs, etc.  We got to her house and ate Pizza for dinner, gossiped with her parents for a few and then went to the pub so she could meet some of her friends.  We got a drink and met some of her friends from her hometown and that was really fun. Then we went to this other place that was fun also.  It was more fun laughing at her friends though because they had a couple of drinks and were planning on staying out.  Natalie and I were really tired so we decided not to stay out too late.  After we left the second place we just drove home and got ready for bed.  Sharnie has the cutest dog named Herbey and I absolutely loved him! He was so cute and he loved me to.  He made me really miss Abby! I love having dogs around and I don't think I will ever go through life without having a dog (or two) :).  I wanted him to sleep with me but he has his own bed

and he should not be on the furniture (I would have allowed it though, shh).  So then we woke up on Saturday and spent time looking at the town.  From Hervey Bay you can see Fraser Island so that was really cool and also there is a big long pier that we walked to.  We walked all the way to the end of it and it was a long walk but it was really nice out so it was a good walk. There were people fishing all up and down the pier and sometimes you can see wildlife like sting rays but we didn't get to see any.  We did see a few fish though.   After we walked back from the pier we drove over
to a hot spot in Hervey bay and had lunch at a club. We were going to go to Cold Rock (kinda like cold stone only not as good- but still delicious) but we got too full and saved it until we were with Sharnie's little brother so he could come with us after soccer.  After we ate we went back to Sharnie's house and laid by the pool for the rest of the day until it was time to go back to the pub.  It ended up being SO,

SO nice out all of Saturday, we tanned :). Once we decided we should be done tanning and swimming we all showered and got ready to go to the pub with Sharnie's little brother, parents and some of her parents family friends.  It was really nice to sit outside by the beach and gossip and laugh.  We probably stayed at the pub for an hour or two and then we went back to Sharnie's house and her Mom (Mum if your an Aussie) cooked us the best food! I wish I could cook all the food she made and make it look as nice and pretty and clean after wards, haha! So we just ate more then our stomachs could even handle and then we played a game of Scategories with the family friends that walked over for the dinner and her family.  Just a couple neighbor's that lived really close came over and hung out for awhile.  It was a lot of fun.  We had a lot of good laughs (quite the ab workout)!

Sunday morning we left her parents house and drove home and since her little brother's soccer game on our way home we stopped to watch him play.  It was fun even though it wasn't a real game it was just like a short scrimmage and it started raining. We didn't get too wet because the game got over right as it rained.  Then we said bye and headed home.

When we got home I worked on my blogs and I worked out from 4:30-6, (I only remember that because the gym is only open for 2 hours on Sundays) I ran a 5K because I felt that I needed to work off some of my delicious food and then I rode the bikes for 8 miles and in between those two cardio activities I did weights, lunges, and did some abs.  And then the rest of the week I worked out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then I didn't work out Thursday because I had my Relay for Life cancer night and I knew I was probably going to need to be rested for that because it was an all night track-a-thon pretty much ( haha, I made that name up and I will tell you more about why in my next post). It was intense but a lot of fun!

So that was my weekend at Sharnie's and now I will write a little blog (hopefully little) and post up some pictures of the experience I had for the cancer research event I attended all night yesterday.  Friday starting at 6pm going all night until Saturday 7am! I will take a break before I start that blog :)
SEE YA FOR NOW!
