Thanksgiving

ATTENTION: This is going to be my last blog for the next two weeks.
Why, you ask? Oh only because I am going camping for TWO WEEKS in the outback. No biggie.
(HOLY CRAP I AM SO EXCITED!)
I get to roomy it up in a nice tent with Rachel and Megan! I am totes excited. (DUTCH OVEN-IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
Then we basically do everything that we would normally do here, but all outdoors! And I've been told we get lots of free time and I can just go on long walks with God. You have no idea how excited I am for that. 
I'm sorry my YWAM fam... I need my alone time, so I'm gonna take advantage of this situation and go on freakin' long walks. 

Yup, okay. Well this week has been a pretty hard week for me. One night God was just really telling me to just sit in His presence. So, I sat outside on the grass looking up at the stars for about two hours. That was a much needed two hours. God really spoke to me. He basically just told me to fast. Not from food, but from friends. I was getting to wrapped up in everyone else around me and losing sight of Him and His purpose for me. And... as much as I didn't want too I spent this whole week being pretty anti-social with my YWAM family. Obviously I couldn't just be away from them for the whole week, but any free time I got I spent it with just God. It was very, very, very much needed. I'm working on trying to find a balance between God and friends and to have more discipline in my life. It's only getting better from here! I feel so much better. 

Then this week we learned about missions. I didn't really think I was gonna get anything out of this week, but man was I ever so wrong! It was really funny how God just kept on showing me and showing me and showing me how much He wants me to live a life in missions. Especially being a midwife. Yes I said that right!  A MIDWIFE!!!! If you know me you would know that I really want to be a nurse, especially a nurse in Labor and Delivery. I freak out over the miracle of life and every aspect of it. God just really laid it on my heart this week that that is what I am meant to do! Especially in third world countries and I feel that God is leading me more towards PNG. I'm so excited for the future you guys! You have no idea how much joy I have in my heart right now. Missions is gonna be something I am gonna do for a lifetime. AHHHH!!!!!! EP EP EP!!!! and at every birth I am at I am gonna have a sunflower, heheheheheh. I love sunflowers if you didn't know. 

OH SPEAKING OF SUNFLOWERS I FINALLY SAW A SUNFLOWER IN AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm 19 now btw) BUT I SAW A SUNFLOWER!!! ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! EEEEEE, GREATEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!! AND YES I DID CRY A LITTLE BIT!!! BUT IT'S CAUSE  I LOVE SUNFLOWERS SO MUCH!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Okay... I am done about that now.... 
wait no I'm not.... shootout to Hadley who sent me a picture of sunflowers to wish me happy birthday. I LOVE YOUUUU!!!!! THIS MADE MY DAY!!!!! AND YOU'RE REALLY PRETTY!!!

Aren't they just the prettiest things you have ever seen?!?!?!?!?

Okay... now I am officially done. 

Oh yeah, but speaking of my birthday. I managed to have not everyone (only a select few) know it was my birthday, but stupid FB let everyone know. But, when everyone else started finding out I just felt so loved! And I got some of the greatest gifts. Cause not very many people knew it was my birthday, they decided to just take their own things and give it to me. That meant a lot to me. And I got these really nice pants from one girl, and the funny thing is, is that I really needed pants like that for outreach! EEEE! I love how God works. But the greatest birthday presents were: 

1.Seeing sunflowers

2. Talking to my whole family. That was the greatest. Gah! I love them so much. 

OOO! And then on Wednesday (the day after my birthday in Australia, but in America is was my actual birthday, so I guess it was my birthday... I'm confusing myself...) But every Wednesday we have a Family Night BBQ and that's when they celebrate birthday's. So, I got a cake and I got the birthday song sung to me. I probably looked extremely uncomfortable when everyone was singing to me cause well I was, but I really really enjoyed it. And the cake was AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! I got like a chocolate espresso cheesecake! ERMERGERD IT WAS SO GERDDDDDD. 

So this week.... this week... we had to get everyones outreach fees in by Friday. We literally had over $100,000 we still all owed. I still had to pay for my outreach and I was lacking a little bit and I prayed a lot about it, but God kept telling me not to worry... so I didn't. And... well I just wanna point out that I have THE GREATEST dad in the entire world. He graciously paid for the remaining part of what I owed and you have no idea how thankful I am for that. Ugh, guys. My dad is better than yours. End of story. I am forever and always your superstar daddy. I love you much!!!!!

So yeah, on Thursday we decided to have a giving night. Whatever you felt like giving you could just give it. (You weren't pressured into giving anything at all, it was your choice.) I gave a few small things and I some great things!!(I got a ring, a little journal, a cupcake for my birthday, and the bestest... words of encouragement by so many people!), but I didn't think that I should give any money cause at this point I am dead broke, so I just kind of stood back while we were doing the money part of the giving process. But then, something in me (Holy Spirit) told me to just give it. Honestly, I didn't want too. I wanted to be greedy and keep the small amounts of money I had to buy food.... but I knew that giving what I had would be far better than me getting fat. So with the small amount I had I gave it to two different people that mean bunches to me. I don't know if by me giving them such a small amount mattered or not, but it was a huge learning process for me. I know God will provide for me and for once in my life I am actually happy to be broke! I'm rich in my own way. 

Oh yeah, might I add that at the beginning of the night we still had $35,000 in debt. In one hour, ONE HOUR, we were at $0 in debt. ONE HOUR. And it was given all from everyone in the DTS and the staff. That's crazy. Like... my mind is blown. I can't wrap my head around the fact that that happened. If the Holy Spirit wasn't filling the room that night I don't know what was. WAH! God is just too good. 

If you can see it the white board has $0 on the board and that little board was our money tracker. At the beginning of the week it was way below the circle bit. Yup... God is good. 

Oh yeah! The whole base fasted this week. I have never fasted before, but it was a good experience. It was only for a day. But the feeling of hunger I normally get just wasn't there. It was a pretty good feeling! Then, when I finally got to eat I never ever ever appreciated food more in my life. EP! Don't you just love food?! We are so blessed that God created something like food! 

So yeah, by the end of the week. I had spent lots of alone time, lots of time crying(obvi)and lots of prayers. It was a week I definitely needed. I feel refreshed and ready to take this step forward forgetting my life to live a life for Christ. That's in missions! Crazy how God makes all things work out, right?! It may not be the way you want it to go, but in the end His plan is far better than yours ever could be. He's got a special and unique plan for you, for me, and for everyone, so there is no room for worry or fear. 

Okay, okay, okay, okay. So after being anti-social for about like a week I went to the movies with a heap of people. We went and saw that Skyfall James Bond movie. It was pretty good! And it was really good to just get out and enjoy myself and enjoy the ones around me. lalalallalalalalalal

Here's a photo booth picture from it! 

K, well I think I have said everything I needed too. I hope so. If not... .you will just have to wait to weeks. EPP! I'm so excited! Camping is gonna be amazingggggggggggggg. I'm excited to be outdoors everyday, to sleep in a tent, to go on long walks, to not shower, to go in the river, and ect. I feel that this past week was just preparing me for the next two. I am beyond excited! I cannot wait! Yup, yup, yup. And I am a wee bit excited to not have any sort of communication. I'm sorry parents.... But really, I'm not gonna have those distractions of the internet. It's just gonna be me and God and well my whole other DTS, but you are catching my drift. These next two weeks are gonna be life changing, I know it. 

So, bye-bye everyone! I can't wait to return and tell you all about my adventures. God bless each and everyone of you! Hope you  have an a spectacular two weeks!! Love you all!!

PEACE

And I shall leave this last picture (for the next two weeks) of myself to you all. For you to like stare at or something. Or remember me by if I happen to get eaten by some 20 foot snake. Just know that I left this world the happiest girl alive, but if I don't die... then I'm still the happiest girl alive.

Okay.... bye. 

hehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Drop Bears United.

I'm gonna start off this blog a little differently than the usual. 

Okay.... soooo it was brought to my attention that looking up "awful taxidermy" is quite possibly the funniest thing in this entire world. If you're having a bad day oh! just google "awful taxidermy" you need a good laugh yup! just google "awful taxidermy" or you just need to be reminded that your life could be so much worse google "awful taxidermy"!!!!!

yeah... it will change your way of life forever. I've never LOLed so hard in my life.

You're welcome. 

Oh! YOU GUYS I GOT TO SKYPE HANNAH!!!!!! EEEEPPPPP!!!! At first my sound didn't work, so it was just her talking and me typing, but I prayed and prayed and God answered my prayers! Then we got to just scream at each other pure joy of our excitement! I love having someone to talk to that knows exactly how I feel even though I have no words to express my love for YWAM.

Hannah-I love you and seeing your beautiful face over Skype made my week so much better. It was so good talking to you!! God has blessed you and I cannot wait to hear all the people you are going to bless. I miss you bunches and bunches! I cannot wait till that day we are together in person talking about our adventures! EEE! I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!

Ain't she adorbs?!?!?! ^^^^^

So, this blog doesn't really have much to do with anything, I just felt the want to blog. Keep y'all updated ya know!?!

Mmmmmm.... yes! I remember what I was gonna tell you all. 

Yeah, so on Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving! It was yummy in my tummy!!!! 

Then!!! We had a dance party!! Who has a dance party right after we eat our butts off?! YEAH WE DO!!! We danced so much we set off the fire alarm, yup we are that hot. 

Probz one of the greatest dance parties evaaaaa.

I'm just so in love with it here!! 

Yup, yup, yup.

Oh! Then Friday the girls had a girls night ON THE SHIP! WHAAAAATTTTT!!!!! It twas fun. We just watched movies (She's the Man) (funny freakin' movie) and ate so much chocolate that I thought I could never eat chocolate again. Hahah jk, that didn't last long. I eat way too much chocolate. HATERS GONNA HATE! 

POTATOES GONNA POTATE. 

Then sleeping on the ship wasn't oh so bad. Just a wee bit at a tilt, but it was so peaceful! And I got to sleep in till like 9! Oh that was much needed.

My Weekend:

Saturday: Youthstreet! Best week so far. My team went out to the strand and played basketball. It was bunches of fun! We first played four on four then we played this game called "poison" and if you don't know what it is, find out what it is and play it. Best game ever. I'm too lazy to tell you how to play. I'll tell you later if you're lucky. AND WE FINALLY GOT KIDS TO PLAY WITH US!!! These kids were walking past us and I heard one of them say how we were playing poison, so I just asked them if they wanted to join and they did!! WOOT WOOT!!! We've been praying about that for a while and God has answered our prayers!! We are getting some breakthrough. It's awesome!!  

Then, it was Youthstreet Live and I worked in the café. Drank bunches of left over frappes. Then during 180 hour there was this little thing called "The Voice" and some kids sang and they were all so talented! EP! 

Oh and yeah, I got injured ONCE AGAIN! Ugh, every Saturday I have done something to hurt myself. Crazy. First week my back, second week I burnt the crap out of my finger, and then this week I got this huge bruise on my shoulder and knee from fighting for the basketball. I wonder what I'll hurt next week!!! 

Oh, then to wrap up Youthstreet we all danced our butts off. It was one sweaty mess. But it was oh so fun!!! 

Sunday: Went to the strand yoooooo! Bunches of fun hanging out with my peeps and not having to do anything but lay on the beach and soak up the sun and enjoy all the beauty around me! Lalalalalalalal.

Bahah, can you see that random arm just in that picture. LOL. LAWLZ. ROLF.

Oh yes! and I tried calamari for the first time. It was purdy good. 

I went omm nom on that calamari.

Heheh, here are some of my other mates. I love dem so much! 

Oh! Yes! So last week as I informed you we learned about the character of God. Pretty good week! I learned a lot and it was probably the one week where I took more than one page of notes. (more like three pages minimum) But if you are reading this and have time I urge you to go onto youtube.com and look up "How Great is Our God." by Louie Giglio. Here I will make it easier for you and give you the link cause that is how much I want you to watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAzCP8SEKwc

Just watch it, please. You'll understand why I love it so much. 

This week we are learning about Missions! Definitely very excited for this week cause I feel like I will  be doing missions for quite some time!!!  Then next week we are going camping for two weeks!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! Cannot wait!!!

Lalalalala.

So yes, I have told you I am going to PNG for my outreach. My team and I are gonna be doing some crazy things, I cannot wait! I still have a little bit of money to raise for outreach and if you feel lead to donate to me, please, please, please contact me somehow. I would gladly appreciate anything. If you can't, please, please, please pray for me. I could definitely use a lot prayers!

Mmmmmmm, I hope I ain't forgetting anything. Well, I'm just gonna wrap this up anyway. 

I'll blog again soon my lovelies! Thanks for reading this! It makes me feel so special. Teheheheheehe. 

I love you all and God bless!!! 

bye-bye!  

SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!

So I'm sure you guys heard of the solar eclipse that happened. Yeah, well did you see it? CAUSE THIS CHICK DID!!!! Yup, it was pretty freakin' sweet if I do say so myself. I woke up at 4:45a.m. to trek up Castle Hill which is just basically straight up the whole way and you faa shoo feel da burn. 
So anywhozzle.... I got to the top right in the nick of time to see the sunrise and gaaah! It was breathtaking! I don't know if you have seen a sunrise or not, but if you haven't I highly recommend it. God's beauty is crazy good. Just sayin' try it for yourself. 

I mean... God bless... is that not just the prettiest sight ever?! 

So yes, the solar eclipse (that's where the moon is in front of the sun if you didn't know). That happened. And you can't look directly at the sun cause if you didn't know the sun is kind of bright. I think my vision is a wee bit impaired now cause of looking at it... whoops. Totally worth it though. But yeah, there are like different ways to go about looking at the sun rather than just blinding yourself. So some of them (not me obviously) came prepared for this occasion by bringing card board and making pin holes out of it and projecting it on a blanket or using a cereal box and blah blah blah. It didn't really work out too terribly well. But hey! I still got some sweet pics. 

Check dem outtttttttt, yooooo

This is through one of dem 3D glasses thingy. Ain't that pretty neat?!?!

IS THAT NOT LIKE THE COOLEST THING EVERRRRR?!?!? WEEEEEEEE, How great is our God by the way?! To create something like a solar eclipse... just blows my mind. 

Oh! And of course I got a video of it, heheheh

Pretty sweet, ammi right or wuuut?!

Lalal, oh! and I cannot forget to brag about my pretty frands.

Waiting....

for the....

SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!

This one makes my heart smile. 

LOLZ I got myself a double chin goin' on in this one.But this picture is priceless. I love it! 

So when the solar eclipse was in full effect it was the weirdest thing ever! It was like dark, but not dark. It was like the moon was in front of the moon or something. I dunno. But it was so awesome and a privilege to be able to partake in something like that! I feel so lucky!! Definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life... so far...

Yup, yup, yup! And then I got home my adventure and my secret person had given me a flower (and chocolate as always) and I just about freaked out! Cause I LUUUURRRRVVVVVVV FLOWERS! I talk about sunflowers all the time, heheh. Then to top that all off, I finished all my home work and my paper and eeeep!... best feeling ever! I feel so relived cause I was stressing out a bit with all that I had to do. Now I after lectures and my placement ministries I basically have the rest of the day off! Wuuut wuut, Well...only until next week. Haha. 

Oh! And tomorrow we are celebrating Thanksgiving! My first holiday without my family (sad face) That's gonna be weird, but I am excited to celebrate it with my YWAM fam! And we had to send in a family picture just in like to honor our families and what not and this is the picture I chose.....

Bahahahaha, I love my family. Don't hate me family, this picture is the greatest. 

K... well bye-bye! Bloggie another dayie

Luv you all and God bless!!

PEACE!

Queens Garden!

Weeeeee! So after a very emotional and draining, but very, very, very good week I decided to treat myself to something. That something was Queens Garden. HOLY POOP! It was like heaven on earth. I'm making a special blog full of pictures just cause I fell in love with it so quickly. It just made me fall more in love with God. He left me speechless at all the beauty He created. 

Okay, I'm gonna stop talking about it and just let you see it for yourself. 

And just to let you all know, if I do ever happen to run away for some odd reason... it will be there. 

Ain't this the prettiest thing you have ever seen?!!?!  

I mean seriously! Come on, Lord you are too good to me. 

LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THIS IS!!! 

SOOO PURDY!!!!

THEY EVEN HAD TALKING BIRDS!!!!!!

Praise Jesus! I feel like such a princess cause I got to see all His beauty in one place. I'm one happy girl!

This was my favorites. Look how beautiful it is!!!! 

Even the spiders were pretty looking!!! WAAAAA! And I hate spiders. SO MUCH. Not this one though, this one is cool.

Made a mark at Queens Garden! 

Just soaking up God's beauty.

This is Tim. He is alright. Hehe, jk he is the greatest. 

LOLZ

AREN'T MY FRIENDS BEAUTIFUL!?!!?

I wuv them so much. 

If you listen closely you can hear the birdy say "Hi!" And also Tim saying how he wants to poke the birds feathers with his stick. 

So yeah, this week we are learning about understanding the character of God. It's not emotionally and spiritually draining like the last two weeks (...so far...) but I am so extremely  interested in learning this subject. It's crazy good! I shall blog about all that at the end of the week. So be prepared/super duper excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, this week we are doing like a "secret santa"/""be a blessing to someone" week. We got someones name and we just give them cute little gifts or notes or things in that nature. I love it! The person I got is a lucky one. I got them such good things! And the person who has me... I think they are trying to make me fat cause all I have gotten so far is chocolate. They definitely know the way to my heart that's for sure. 

Well any who, I gotta ttyl. I've got tons of work to be doing! WAAAAA. Lalalallalalalala okay bye-bye. Blog sometime later. 

PEACEEEEEEEE 

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SMALL GROUP LEADER SAM!! She is the absolute greatest leader God could have chosen for me. I love her and she is so pretty heheheh. I hope you have an awesome birthday, Sam! 

Ruined for the Ordinary

Warning: This is going to be one long blog....just sayin'....

Okay, before I write a whole novel about my week I'm gonna take some time and just brag about my family. I got to see all my sister's wedding pictures and oh my heavens! I seriously felt like I was standing right there with everyone. The moments that were captured made my heart so happy!! Everyone was so cheerful and giddy! AND MY FAMILY! Oh my gosh... my family. Wow... they are beautiful, just beautiful. 

Sara-You leave me speechless. YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Holy cow. I was showing pictures of you to everyone here. 

Al-Man, you clean up nice. Hahah, no but really you looked amazing!! Gorgeous. So glad you are my brother-in-law! 

Riain-EEEEE!!! You make me so happy! Mommy and Daddy dressed you so well. I could tell you were the life of the party just by looking at the pictures. 

Grandma-There is no question about this. I have THE bestest Grandma to ever walk this earth. You looked so, so, so pretty and just so happy. It makes me so happy to see you smile! 

Dad-Lookin' good dad. Saw you bustin' a move. Hopefully you didn't break anything. Heheheheheheh

Mom-GORGEOUS!!!!! Golly, I have the prettiest mommy ever. And you worked it in those shoes. 

Anna-Nice dress, where did you get it?! Haha you wore it better than I ever could. You are just stunning... STUNNING! 

Chaz-Yup, I gotta good lookin' brother-in-law. You just look like a police officer. Hahah

William-Wow, I have such a stud for a brother. You looked amazing! Even when your eyes were all squinty from taking pictures, you still looked great!  

Gah, like seriously. My family is beautiful I can't say that enough. I am so glad I have them and SOOOOOOOO thankful God placed me to be in their lives. How lucky am I?!?!

Okay.... I'm done bragging about my family.

For now......

Oh! But speaking of family... check out my YWAM family! They are the absolute greatest everrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Aren't they precious?!?! My brothers and sisters in Christ

So, you would think that cause we cleared our conscience last week, got it all out there that there was nothing left to cry about. WRONG!!!!!

As I said earlier this week was identity week. It wasn't just about finding your own identity apart from others, but an identity that is wrapped all up in God. God made each and everyone of us differently and uniquely. Need proof? Our fingerprints. You are one in 13 billion. ONE IN 13 BILLION. and no one else but you has the same finger prints as you. Ain't that pretty neat?! We are all fearfully and wonderfully made... Just sayin'... But I will be honest. It took me quite some time to be able to say that....

This week the women always had to say "I am beautiful" and the men "I am capable" it seemed like everyday we had to shout it to everyone that "I am beautiful" or "I am capable" but every time the girls got up and were shouting I stepped back and never ever said anything. And when the boys had to say "You are beautiful" to the girls I never once made eye contact at them. I just didn't believe it. Everyone was always telling me that, but I just thought they were full of it. How could I believe them, if I didn't even believe myself? I mean I found it so easy to tell other girls how amazingly beautiful they were or the boys that they are more capable than they believe. But, when the tables got turned I just couldn't. I blocked out what they said. 

I think everyone could just see the pain, though. No... they could easily tell. 

But one night, the boys stood on one end, and the girls on the other. Our goal was to make some serious eye contact with the person across from us. At first it was silly, but then I looked into one of the guys eyes and lost it. The way he looked at me. It made me feel beautiful. And please don't get me wrong when I say this. I'm not saying this in like a lustful way at all, or else every guy I made eye contact with I would be in love with. That's not it at all. They are my brothers in Christ. And the way they all looked at me helped me to realize that. I am so extremely thankful for all of them! They are all amazing and they are all capable of anything and everything!! And I mean that with everything I have. I love you all, my brothers in Christ! Thank you for helping me to know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And same for my sisters in Christ, thank you so so so much. 

Anywho, making eye contact with my brothers was awesome and I felt good for a bit, but that quickly dissolved. And yet that pain came back and everyone could tell. 

Then, last night everything changed. I think only 4 people out of 60 something people went up last night cause it just took that long. But everyone who went up had to go up and read out the truths they wrote about themselves and rip up those lies they had written about themselves. Everyone who went up something different happen. When the first girl went up, one of the men leaders went and started slow dancing with her. It was adorable. And of course I was just bawling. Then, one of my brothers took my hand and we danced and he prayed for me. Then, another one of my brothers danced with me. And he told me I was beautiful. I shook my head and he told me he would never lie to me. It felt great to have people keep on telling me that I am beautiful, but that wasn't enough. 

There was only enough time for one more person to go, and by this time I was the biggest wreck possible. But, I just felt something pushing me to go up there (besides Rachel physically pushing me to go). So, I took a huge step of faith and just went. Completely broken I stepped into the middle. I was ready for the change. I was so tired of just spitting in God's face for thinking that I was ever a mistake and that I have no purpose and that I am not a beautiful daughter of His. 

So in the middle of all my YWAM family, I prayed. I said all the things that were the truth about me. I kept saying them. And in the end I screamed "I am beautiful!" and it was just so amazing. Something I never said before and something I never thought I was. But right then, I felt it. And it was the best feeling ever. Now, I know I am a beautiful daughter of God. 

I am good enough

I am loved

I am the best I can possibly be

I have a purpose

I am caring

I have my own special intelligence

I am not alone

I love myself for who I am

I am gifted by God

I have worth

I am so, so, so, happy!

I am a sunflower

I am a superstar

I AM BEAUTIFUL!

Gosh, it's a good feeling I tell you. I feel so light. I am so full of joy. I am figuring out that there is something God has planned for me far greater than I could ever imagine. I am leaving this life I have to follow Him. I am ruined for the ordinary! 

And I just wanna thank each and everyone of my brothers and sisters in Christ who was there that night. Thank you. I love each and everyone of you in such a special way. You have all impacted my life. 

Hehehe, oh! and when I finally broke through and screamed out "I am beautiful" the song "You Don't Know Your Beautiful" by One Direction (yes cheesy I know) came on and we all had a dance party. Pretty freakin' awesome dance party if I do say so myself. I was lifted up by my sisters in Christ and ahhhh! I can't explain to you guys all how exactly I feel, but it's the greatest feeling ever. 

It's taken me a while, but I am finally happy to be me! Elissa Perrigan...ME! A daughter of God, a princess, a superstar!! YAY! 

And so today we were doing the same thing as last night. I am just sitting there and this precious little girl comes up to me and has chocolate. Of course I was like "ooooo! yummy! thank you!!" then she said "no this is for you" and she turns this trophy around and on it is written "I am beautiful" This girl heard what I said last night and she went out and got me a trophy! EEEEE! I'm so giddy right now. I ran around with it everywhere. I am keeping it forever and I'm gonna look at it everyday as a constant reminder. That little girl is my hero now. 

EEEE!!!! LOOK AT IT!!! I FEEL SO SPECIAL AND LOVED!!! Hehehe. 

LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALLALALALALALALLALALALALALALALALALA

So a couple of shout outs right now. 

1. To Tim, cause he bought me my first good cup of coffee here in Australia. Tank you, tank you, tank you. It was much needed. And thank you for everything else (you know what I am talking about).

Best cup of coffee I have had in a long time. SOOO GERRRRD!

2. To Tori, thank you for just being amazingly amazing all the time. Even though you aren't on my DTS you are definitely family.  And thank you so much for the Tim Tams! You have the most giving heart ever. I love you!! 

p.s. Tim Tams are the bestest. I might buy a whole bundle of them before heading back to the states. Cause they are just that good. Still have yet to try and use it as a straw to drink hot chocolate out of. My time will come though. 

Hehehe, okay! Well this blog/novel is getting kind of long and my computer is burning thus it is making me sweat a bunch. Well no... I always sweat here. It's summer time! Woot! Have I mentioned my life rocks? Yeah, it does. Well, I shall blog another day about my other adventures. I wuv you all so much. And you are all beautiful and capable of anything and everything and I mean that with everything I have. 

God bless!
