Last Year

Currently i am sitting in a chair doing nothing but looking at pictures from my trip in Australia last year.

As many of you know i had surgery 2 weeks ago so haven't been able to do much! Today I am bored and decided to take a look at my photo albums on Facebook. 

I honestly cant believe i was there, it doesn't seem real! Its so weird to think I was in one of the most BEAUTIFUL countries in the world last year and now i'm back in the freezing cold... I may only be back here for 6 weeks but still! 

Im looking at Coffs Harbor photos right now, and i'm trying to soak all it back in. I lived on the ocean, i could see the ocean from my bedroom window... I lived like that for 5 months. I cant even begin to explain to you how lucky i feel to have lived like that! Do you want to know why els Coffs was so good to me? I got to live right down the street from my best friend Kailee and her amazing boyfriend dane. Oh how i miss them so much! I miss being able to just drive down the street and watch true blood, or greys anatomy with her. Or watch crazy movies with them or youtube videos. I was so lucky to have someone like Kailee, Coffs wouldn't have been the same without her. And last but not least mister Charlie Fisher made my experience in Coffs harbor wonderful. He made me smile and laugh everyday! I will never forget that little boy he will always have my heart! I miss him like crazy. I have skyped with them a few times and how big he is just blows me away! He can say full sentences now and he still remembers who i am. I love and miss you Charlie bear x I miss you Kailee and Dane x and I miss you Coffs Harbor x

In Australia Skylar and I were very fortunate to have some very amazing friends down in Australia at the same time as us. Our best friend in the entire world was living in Brisbane not to far from where we were so we got to spend some amazing times with her! We also had to close friends Amanda and Shelby living in Melbourne and we were lucky enough to spend christmas and new years with them!!! Some of my favourite times where spent with these girls!!! We were also lucky to have my dads school friend Mike from Scotland who now lives in Sydney Australia, we got to spend 1 amazing week with him and his beautiful family!! 

I always had amazing times visiting El in Brisbane!!! I remember the first time i went to go visit her! It was so surreal, I couldn't believe my best friend and i were across the world together!! Skylar, Eliz and I were all in Australia. We had some of the most incredible times together!! Our first pub crawl, New years, Melbourne cup, Coffs Harbor, Gold Coast, our adventure to Nimbin! Hotel adventures, movie nights, drunk nights,  Extinguished night :) all in all crazy nights!
