77 days...

Readers!!
Exciting news...

Booked my flight to Australia last weekend!! I will departing for Brisbane, Australia on September 8th, 2010. That's something like 77 days I think... not that I'm counting though.

It's been the plan for the awhile but never really managed to act on it, get my gear together and actually put my plan into action. But being away from, "home", and moving to a big city... spreading my wings you could say... has just made me ready. And I couldn't be MORE excited

about it!!

I will be staying with family friends, and my new friends, Kelly and Wayne when I get there, for how long? Who knows. But I mean, how amazing is that... what kind people to just say, "Hey, we want you to see this part of the world, get your butt on over here, no looking back!!" Some people would be just plain dumb not to jump on an oppurtunity like that!! The plan is to get some work out of the way first and then start the travelling. I have a cousin up in Darwin who I am really hoping to see as well but I don't quite know where this is going to take me yet! Which is probably the best part of it all.

So I'm here for the summer, just working away... saving what I can and living my last summer in Canada (for awhile anyway!) to the fullest. I've been all over the map lately. Haven't actually been home in the past four weekends, just kinda...can't sit still. I just wanna be anywhere, nowhere and somewhere all at the same time it seems.

I came down with a HORRIBLE sickness two weeks ago. Thought I had it under control so I did go ahead with my Kelowna trip and visited Sammy. I guess I was wrong. I came back and fell so sick that I couldn't get out of bed for two days... after one lonnnnnnggg trip to the Emerg. Pulled a muscle in my neck and have been in some harsh pain since... and still can't function it properly, man... I will never take my neck for granted again! Haha. The end result? Morphene and Tylenol 3's REALLY do NOT agree with me....

I'll stick to chicken soup and gingerale next time I figure.

Two weekends ago was Kelowna, I had never really spent time up there before, I've driven through a few times but never actually gotten to know the city and wow, it really is amazing! A little expensive for my liking but If I wasn't leaving I would definitely consider living there. Seem's like allot of fun. Spent 2 and a half days with the best friend and some other friends. Ahh it was a good time and I was pretty stoked my car made it there and back!! Haha. We went to the Vernon water slides and I think all but 1 of us left with some pretty lobster looking skin. I'm already planning my next trip... Mid July I'm thinking... hmmmm.

Went back to Comox last weekend because I booked myself off for a long weekend. And spent quite a bit of time at the beach. Had a blast with friends & family. Ugh, I'm REALLY going to miss a certain few :( But truth be told, true friends are true friends regardless of where you live in the world. I'm soon to find out...

SO life is getting better, bit by bit... I'm feeling a little all scattered around but it'll come together in the end and I'm working my hardest to see the light at the end of the tunnel and achieve true happiness!!

Dinner time! I'll write again, soon? No promises... but I'll try!!

xo

(And mom, none of this was possible without you, I LOVE YOU!!)
