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!!!

Beautiful day

So today, my last day in Coffs Harbor couldnt have been more beautiful! The sun shined ALL day, there was not a drop of rain which was nice for a change! Charlie and I walked along the beach, and then we had some afternoon tea with Kailee!! I wont see Kailee again until I go back to Canada!! So it was nice seeing her for a couple hours today :) After Charlie woke up form a nap Prue Charlie and I all went for another walk along the beach. I put my feet in the ocean for the last time, and it was beautiful! The water wasnt too cold, it was perfect! Now im sitting here, Prue is making me my last supper a chicken roast and some self saucing pudding for desert! YUM! Im heaps excited for tomorrow, bring it on!!!

:)

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?

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
