I know its been a while in between posts, again... so there has certainly been a lot going on at the moment. Before I go into great spiels on how much fun I am currently having I would like to make a note that yes i do in fact work (contrary to what yall might be thinkin!) , but I love my job. The girls and myself have become very close in the last few months and most of the time i just love hanging out with them! Secondly, my parents came to visit a while back... so much fun! I really noticed how much i used to laugh, with my parents, and with my friends... I had lost the art of laughter and i need to pick it up again, and having mum and dad certainly helped! they had an absolute blast... you only need to ask and you wont be able to stop them from raving about me, California and the people I hang with. We had some really good times, I just wish I could have done more with them... I felt like a terrible tour guide! but we had a blast, 10 days just wasnt enough!
















so i came back to perth for ten days... i am so pumped to have seen everyone! I got to see my most favouritest little boy on the planet, Mikey... Mikey is almost five and I was his nanny for two and a half years, I go away for a few months and he grows up into this little man! He had an operation on his tummy last week so was all bandaids and stitches (what a trooper) but he was just as excited to see me as I was to see him! It was bittersweet though, knowing i had to leave once more. So lets all cheers to my little Mikey!

So backtracking a little, while my parents were visiting we celebrated my twenty first. Now when I left Perth I was not really excited about my birthday apart from the fact that my folks would be here... and even as I begun planning some sort of celebration for it i was not even really excited until I was informed about a pirates and princesses party being held for me!! WOW! so The party has been and gone and was amazing! We laughed, we celebrated and I am thinking a great time was had by all.
Mum and dad... Pirate and "wind princess"
















Dianne and I (a garden princess)



















Now I reckon it would be unfair to say this and not properly introduce the people behind it all.

Dianne is the coolest girl i think I have ever met... she is from Alabama and we were destined to meet each other! She has the most contagious laugh (apart from rachel!) I have ever heard, and I love her to bits!




















Chris Is the creative guy of the cali. pals. He works in the church and creates some of the most amazing sets I have ever seen... and having been at riverview, I have seen some great stuff! He wears jeans with writing on them and has a hole in his ear... kinda like a james b... but then again... not really!




















And then there's Mike... I am sure you have heard whispers... some were lucky enough to see photos... I know the way news gets around Perth so I suppose its no secret that we have been going out for a little while now! so how can I describe Mike to all the eager ears of home??? For one, he's a funny guy... keeps me laughing...he always knows the good places to eat, He wears really nice shoes... like all the time... Ive never seen him in a pair of thongs, he works in a church also... and just in general he is great to hang around with.















So those were the masterminds that were behind the coolest party ever... It lacked only my perth buddies:( But i cant leave such a bright and happy post on a sad note... I am having the time of my life over here, taking the chance and leaving was the right thing for me to do and the longer i am here the more certain I am of it... Love yall so much! Peace out
