I've arrived

Well i'm here at last. It's taken me three days of travelling and i'm over 24 hours late but we finally arrived. It's really cold here and it's currently snowing outside. The time here is 7:14 and i'm about to go to bed cause i have no energy left in me and if i'm goin to be sociable to eveyone else, sleep is the only option. I will write again once I get to my host family next week and I'll download some photos then aswell. Hope everyone's having an awesome time back in the heat and not missing me to much. Missing you guys heaps.

The Last Five Weeks

Since i'm going to be in Finland for my next Christmas, my entire family came together to celebrate one last time before i leave. We were joined down in the country side by my siblings (Bec and Joy) , my brother-in-law (Dale) and my two nephews (Daniel and Issac) who flew down from Brisbane for the festive occassion.

On the 29th of Dec, my two sisters (Rebecca and Joy), brother (Andrew) and brother-in-law (Dale) were treated to a day of sky diving down at Lower Light, just North of Adelaide.
Although not something I will do again anytime soon, it was the biggest thrill ride i've ever had and is something I reakon everyone should have a go doing.

Well it's come and gone for another year. This year I spent New Years in good old Port Pirie with two of my best friends, Kirby and Shilo. We partied hard at one of the local pubs, 'Club Clippers' where a foam party was held. Once again, I rocked up with perfect straight hair and left with curly hair. Apart from this, it was a good night all and all. Didn't make it to bed until 5 o'clock but was all worth it for the night i had. And yes, i got a New Years kiss from a hot Adelaide guy.

On the weekend after New Years (the 7th of Jan), Kirby, Sarah and myself had a road trip to Adelaide where we hired out a hotel room down Hindley Street so we could go out for one last girls night before I left. Although Sarah and myself had a bit to much to drink (she was home by 12:30 and i was back by 2) all and all it was a good night. We all managed to get in some shopping and we all made it to at least one club.
