I had a dream last night that felt so real! It was so real I dreamt about it all night and didn't wake up for anything... Not even when my sisters alarm went off this morning, or when the girls were screaming in the room beside me. Today was just an all in all weird day, it was like i was living inside my very real dream and couldn't snap out of it, the dream was amazing but when you wake up and reality hits you in the face it may have been the worst nightmare of my life.. Im tiered of being a lonely cat
anyway on the upside
Florida is good, beautiful as ever, still very warm, still very sunny, and still very amazing..
Skylar and I spent Sunday afternoon on the beach, it was a beautiful day and the beach is stunning! Oh how i missed the ocean, and the sand between my toes.
Im home in less than 2 weeks which is exciting, i cant wait to see my family, my pretty little niece that is growing WAY TO FAST :( and i am excited to see my friends. There is 5 girls im super excited to see.... Kaleigh, Kayla, Jennnnniffffer and Lindsay!! You all put smiles on my faces everyday and i cant wait to hug you all xx And last but not least ELIZ, she is home from aussie land and i CANT wait to hug her

Florida
Well Skylar and I arrive in sunny Naples Florida November 9th 2011! It was HOT and sunny :) The flight wasn't bad, it was definitely better than flying to Australia! 3 hours was nothing! Im so happy to be back in tropical weather, I missed it so much! Speaking of weather, it has been nothing but sunshine since the day we arrived!! Jealous yet?
I have been to Florida once, and that was in grade 4! I remember a bit, but what I didn't remember was how beautiful Florida really is! Palm trees everywhere, beautiful beaches and sunshine oh sweet sunshine!! I cant stress how lucky I am to be living the life I am living! I cant stress how lucky Skylar and I are to have found Rich and Jolene to work for! They truly are amazing people, and working for them is so much fun! I cant stress how lucky we are to be able to take care of beautiful Faith and Grace, they are the sweetest little pumpkin heads in the world! They brighten any dark room with their smiles and giggles. They truly are beautiful inside and out, I adore them to pieces. Having a perfect job, working for amazing people and taking care of two beautiful little ladies.. Jealous yet?? Well wait until you see the house we get to live in to take care of these precious twins!! This house is STUNNING! <3 I'm in love with it and I think Jolene and Rich will have a hard time trying to get Skylar and I to leave ;) haha! well first off I will introduce you to the twins everyone deserves to see how beautiful they really are!

Skylar and I went shopping on Sunday and got a manicure and Pedicure!! My fingers and toes look so amazing, I honestly cant stop looking at them!! I LOVELOVELOVELOVE them! We also started our workout on sunday, and plan on doing some physical activity everyday :) Sunday we went to the gym and last night we went on a two hour bike ride! Tonight we plan on heading to the gym again! I honestly dont think I would have done this if I didn't have Skylar here to do it with me! She makes it less boring :) I feel so amazing! I am so happy :)
I am honestly so happy with the path I have chosen in life. I have had and am having amazing adventures! I have amazing friends and family! And I have an amazing twin sister that I am able to share my adventures with! I am so lucky to have her here with me, I don't know what it would be like without her! Being away from home has been so much easier because I have my sister with me. I don't have to be lonely, or bored she is always here. I don't have to be a crazy cat by myself, she will be just as crazy with me! The experiences I have had would not be the same if they weren't shared with Skylar! The experiences I have had would be nothing if Skylar wasn't a part of them, so I am happy that I have my twin sister every step of the way with me!

Last Day
Yesterday was a hard day... I tried not to show it, but it was tough.
It was my last day working for the amazing Barnes Family! I will see them today, and they are dropping me off at the train station on Sunday but it was just a sad "last work" day. Im going to miss them so much!
I cant believe I am leaving Moree, it feels like im leaving Canada all over again, but this time its 10x worse...
I dont want to leave this beautiful country, but as time keeps ticking I am getting a bit more excited to get home to see all my family and friends.. I just wish it could stop ticking so fast so I can enjoy my last day in Moree, and my last week in Australia!
Tonight is Skylar and I's going away party and im pretty excited, its going to be a big one! I wish the train to Sydney didnt leave so early tomorrow morning..
anyway i should start packing for the fourth time YAYA

13 days
One week today, Skylar and I will be in Sydney, and in 13 days Skylar and I will be home.
My last week in Moree, and I cant even believe it! This time has gone by so fast its crazy. If this year has gone by this fast, i can only imagine how fast this week will go by, let alone the lsat 13 days in Australia. Im excited to see what the last 13 days in this beautiful country has in store for Skylar and I! Im excited to see Sydney, I'm not excited to say goodbye to Moree. Im excited to see my friends and family, I'm not excited to say goodbye to the family and friends I have made here.
My last two months in Australia, have been some of the best! I got to spend them in Moree where I started, I got to spend them in Moree with the friends I made at the beginning of my trip! I got to spend the last two months in Moree living with my sister, and working for an amazing family who I will miss greatly.
I will never forget Moree, and the people I have met, they will be in my heart forever.
I will never forget Australia, its been the most amazing experience of my life!

Can you believe it? because I cant..
It will be a very sad farewell, there are so many people im not ready to say goodbye too. There are so many people I don't want to say goodbye too.

Last Month
Time, where have you gone?? I feel like I just got here yesterday and now I am leaving at the end of this month..
Its true time does fly when you are enjoying yourself.
I have been in Australia for almost one year! Its still hard to believe, and now that Skylar and I are leaving in less than a month its hit me right in the face. Im leaving and its actually quite sad.
There is so many people I cant wait to see, but there is quite a few people I dont want to leave. I think it will be harder to leave Australia then it was to leave Canada.. weird eh?
I look back at the year that has gone by with the blink of an eye, and I think of all the amazing experiences/times I have had! I think of all the amazing people I have met, and all the amazing people I have worked for! Its going to be hard to leave this place. Its going to be hard to leave the experiences and good times behind, as well as the people. But then I look forward and think about whats to come! My last month will consist of my first winter birthday, more crazy times with my crazy friends, a few more weeks working for an amazing family and a trip to Sydney before Skylar and I board our flight back home to good old Canada. Then back at home we will see our amazing family and friends! That will be pretty exciting of course :) Im also pretty excited for some Tim Hortans bagels and chocolate milk :)
Its already the end of the week, and tomorrow is the start of a new one. It will only just keep getting closer to July 29th, no more turning back now!!!

Daddy
Yesterday was fathers day in Canada, and I have to say I was a bit sad that I wasnt there to spend this special day with my dad.
My dad is the most amazing person I know. He has been there for me through everything, and I cant even be there for him on this day. But he knows I am thinking of him ALWAYS!
My dad is my best friend, he always puts a smile on my face, and is always there for me and my sisters. He is honestly the most amazing man I have ever known and I am happy to say that he is my dad. He has the biggest heart, and a very kind smile. He can always make you happy, and can always make you laugh. Without my dad, I dont know where I would be! He has made me the person I am today, and I would be hopeless without him. I cant even express how lucky I am to have such an amazing dad.
Dad I love you with all my heart and more, you truly are the most amazing person I know. I miss you more than anything, and am thinking of you! I cant wait to see you waiting at the airport to pick skylar and i up on July 29!! I know you will have that amazing smile on your face that I miss so much!!

Back in Moree
Its Tuesday, and I have been back in Moree for just over a week now! I couldnt be happier :) Its amazing living with Skylar, and finally being in the same town as her again! I missed her more than anyone.
I had the week off, it was relaxing! I needed it :) I went and stayed with Sarah and Willy last Wednesday it was so nice spending some time with them. Willy took me out Roo shooting on wednesday, we got around 7 kangaroos, and ended up catching a boar too! Oh man, what an experience that was!! We left at 7 30pm and didnt get home till 3am it was a very long and cold night, but heaps of fun! Im sad I didnt bring my camera out to get any pictures.
Rose and George are both getting so big! Its unbelivable, I cant beleive when I first came to australia george was just being born, and Rosie was still in nappies, but is now fully potty trained!! She is such a clever little lady!!
Anyway, I am working now for two very lovely families. On Tuesdays I work for Georgie, and her husband, taking care of their BEAUTIFUL little girl Harriet. Oh man is she ever cute. She is a little sweet heart :) and on Mondays, wednesdays, thursdays, and fridays I work for Della and Justin taking care of their little boys Issac, and Tom and their brand new baby girl Paris!! They are also a very lovely family
Well, thats whats going on at the moment!!!

Tomorrow
So, you know how I have said in the past blogs that time goes by extremely fast??? Well it does, and tomorrow will be my last night working for Prudence and Jock. My last night taking care of my favorite little manny moo Charlie. My last night in Coffs Harbor/Emerald Beach. My last night by the amazing sea. My last night with Kailee and with Dane. My last night... I guess I should be happy that its not my last night in Australia.... then why am I feeling a bit sad?? I have been working for the Kirkby family for almost a year now.. thats a pretty long time to be working with one amazing family. I am so fortunate to have gotten such an amazing family to work for. I cant even tell you how lucky I am to have worked for the Kirkbys! They took me in like one of their own. I will always consider them family. And I will love them forever.
Sarah and Willy couldn't of made my experience here any better. If it werent for them, I probably would of never even heard of the town "Moree" now look at me, Im inlove with the town and dont want to be anywhere else.. Everyone there would say im crazy for wanting to go back. But I do, and I wouldnt have it any other way. I got introduced to some people I will never forget! And I got to take care of the most adorable little girl and boy in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! Rosie and George the little loves of my life <3 Just looking at them puts the biggest smile on my face! They have my heart always xxx
Prue and Jock gave me a chance to work in one of the most beautiful places in all of Australia! They brought me to the sea. They brought me to wonderful sandy beaches, beautiful crystal clear waters! and AMAZING views. They let me work for one of the most amazing little boys I have honestly ever met. He has touched my heart and I love him to peices. I will miss him more than anything, and it will be so hard to say bye to charlie, jock and prue!!
Tomorrow, Prue is making my favorite dinner, a roast chicken, and on saturday morning before I catch my bus Im going to make some delicious banana pancakes!! YUMMMM
Saying goodbye is not an easy thing to do! I hate goodbyes... so there will be no goodbyes on saturday, there will be see you later xxx

Smile
So while Charlie and I were cuddeling on the couch watching some kids, a song came on that inspired me to write this blog.
"Think about something that makes you smile
Think about it for a little while
What you feel and what you see
And give your smile to me"
I have been feeling a bit down lately, Im leaving coffs and I have been a wee bit home sick the past couple days. I dont know if im actually home sick for Canada, or if im homesick for Moree! (I reckon Moree) I really cant wait to go back there, only one more week and I will be back to my second home, and only two more months and I will be back to my first home!
Anyway, when this song came on it got me thinking about things that make me smile, and I smile quite a bit so lets get real here there must be heaps of things that make me smile!!
Talking to my family makes me smile, I miss them and seeing them on Skype, or hearing their voices always leaves me with a HUGE smile on my face.
Charlie makes me smile always, seeing him smile puts a smile on my face. Hearing his cute little laugh puts an even bigger smile on my face.
Rosie and George make me smile, hearing Rosie say "Relle!!" melts my heart and leaves a smile on my face for ages!!
Photography/my camera can ALWAYS put a smile on my face, no matter what kind of mood I am in, give me a camera and I will be all smiles.
Skylar puts the biggest smile on my face on a daily basis, she always knows what to say and always makes me feel better. I love her the most and I cant wait to spend my last two months of Australia with her in Moree.
Nicole and Pat always say the right things, they always put a smile on my face, and make me feel amazing about myself. I love them with all my heart and more, and miss them with everything!
My friends put a smile on my face
The ocean makes me smile, I feel at peace there, its quiet, its beautiful and its calming. Im going to miss being so close to such a beautiful thing.
The experience that I am having in Australia makes me smile. I feel so lucky! I am so lucky that I am able to have this experience! And it truely is the most amazing experience anyone could ever have. Australia makes me feel at home when Im not.
These are a few things that make me smile. What are some things that make you smile?

Nicole and Pat always say the right things, they always put a smile on my face, and make me feel amazing about myself. I love them with all my heart and more, and miss them with everything!
My friends put a smile on my face
The ocean makes me smile, I feel at peace there, its quiet, its beautiful and its calming. Im going to miss being so close to such a beautiful thing.
The experience that I am having in Australia makes me smile. I feel so lucky! I am so lucky that I am able to have this experience! And it truely is the most amazing experience anyone could ever have. Australia makes me feel at home when Im not.
These are a few things that make me smile. What are some things that make you smile?

Packing
So today i started packing.... this will be my third time packing up my things!
First I was packing everything to come to Australia, Second I was packing everything to leave Sarah and Willys and come to Coffs Harbor (which was probably sadder than actually packing up my things to leave Canada) Now thirdly I am packing up my things to move back to Moree once again! And it is a bit sad this time around, its exciting but sad. I will miss being here thats a fact but Moree is my favorite place. I will just miss Prue and Jock and Charlie and their crazieness. They make me smile I do love them, and it will be hard to say goodbye to them! Especially Charlie, I know he is going to miss me, and I will miss that little man with all my heart. I definitely have to come back to Coffs for a visit within my last two months.... AHHH!!! Anyway, out of the whole 12 months of being in Australia I will have packed up all my things a total of four times... and my fouth time packing will be packing all my things to leave Australia! Not to come to Australia to leave... :(

Where has the time gone?
I feel as if yesterday I was just arriving in Australia and it was August 3 2010....... and now its May 25 2011 and I'm leaving Australia in two months... two months and I will be back in the place I left behind. Just two more months left and I will be back home. Can you believe it? I can't.
Where has the time gone.. There is still so much I want to do, still so much I want to see in this beautiful country.
If ten months went by with the blink of an eye... I cant imagine how fast these last two months will go. These last two months of my beautiful life in Australia. Two months and it will be over...
Its almost June, and I will be leaving Coffs Harbor on the 6th to head back to Moree and work there for my last two months. My last two months, it still doesn't feel real... im so excited to head back there though, I truly miss the town and people that live there! Im excited to finally live with Skylar again I miss her more than anything... Its weird being away from your twin sister for more than a week.
I know in the last couple paragraphs I said two months multiple times... but you dont understand how weird it is for me to say its the last two months of being here. Soon enough it will be only one month... and then one week... and then one day!! ONE DAY :(
As much as I want to go home, see my family and hold my baby neice, Im dying to come back here!
ANYWAY
Today someone asked me what I wanted to do before I die.. They told me to think long and hard and I know what I want to do, there are a few things that I really want to do actually. And one of those things is come back to Australia before I die. And I will, preferably in November 2011!
I want to sky dive, I would love to know what it's like to fly even if its just for two minutes!!
I want to be a successful baby photographer!
I want to fall inlove, get married and have a perfect family of my own!
There are so many things I want, so many things I could do before I die and these are just a few

the weekend
So this weekend was pretty amazing... Friday I hung out with Kailee and Dane ( i think ) and then on Saturday Prue, Charlie and I went down to the markets in Bellingen! They were massive!! I enjoyed myself, I bought some new headbands... and you might say im obsessed with the one :) LOVE IT! Well anyway, we went out for some morning tea while we were there, then we came back to Coffs! I knew it was going to be an amazing weekend because ELIZ, KAYLA, and MEHG were coming down for a wee visit!! They also brought along Kalyas friend McKayla from Canada who is in Australia for 2 months visiting her! Well when I got home from the markets I got a phone call from them telling me they were in coffs!! So I went to meet up with them at the plaza, then we went to find the hotel they were staying and just caught up!! We went out for dinner later on that night, and on are way back to the hotel the girls car decided to shit itself!! We couldnt get it going, so we left it on the side of the road, decided to just start drinking to forget about it... and walked back to the hotel ( we were honestly just down the street ) When we got back to the hotel, we got our drank on and started to get ready to head out to the coffs hotel... We started off pre drinking in the hotel then Kailee and her friend came to the hotel to pick us up and we went to go drink some more at Kailees house! We stayed there for a bit, did some planking bahaha then we went to the coffs hotel, danced all night then walked back to the hotel around 3am?? passed out woke up in the morning and eliz and i went to maccas ate then we went to the plaza, i got a boost juice and banana bread then we went back to my place to sleep! The girls ended up staying the night at mine, because they couldnt get their car into a machanic until the monday! So i got to spend an extra day with my favorite girls! We went out for dinner with Kailee and Dane, then watched a movie then came home and slept!! Monday was sad because they had to leave :( I miss them already, but the two days i got to spend with those crazy cats made me a very happy kitty cat!!

dumb day
So today, wasnt the greatest of days... I guess you could say i woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Its just one of those days, everything seems to be going wrong, you want things to go one way, they go the other. Someone says something and you take it the wrong way. The smallest /stupidest things can just set you off and for no reason at all.
Some days i feel so lonely, and today was one of those days. Yeah, coffs is amazing but i have no one. Its not easy being by yourself 24/7 and talking to a one year old everyday takes its tole on you. Dont get me wrong, charlie is probably the only person that can actually cheer me up and put a smile on my face. Its almost as if he knows im having a bad day and he just wants to make it better. So today he did, whilst i was cleaning the bathroom, charlie came in and said "hello roey!" and basically jumped up to me and gave me the biggest cuddle anyone could ever give! For such a little man, he has the biggest heart <3 you never see that little boy without a smile on his face. He brightens up my day, i truly adore him. Im going to miss him so much
Charlie isnt the only thing that can cheer me up though. Jock, Charlie, my camera and I went down to Emerald beach again today. And lets just say, put me behind a camera and you will have the happiest girl in the world. Put the ocean in front of the camera and I will be happy, put Charlie in front of the camera and I will be even happier! I got some amazing shots of the little man today, so I thought i would share them, because they brightened up my day, so if your having an off day, hopefully they will brighten up yours too!
