ello, mate

Well hi! After much pressure from Hanner and my family I've decided to give yall an update. I know it has been a while since you last heard from me, but there hasn't been much to tell you. Work has slowed down over the past month, which means I have spent plenty of time doing nothing. I know I should take advantage of where I am, and go explore but it is so hard to go on adventures that don't cost anything! 

Well way back when we celebrated Halloween, we dressed up as Indians. Melanie's boyfriend is living in India for a year and when he came to visit he brought us all parachute/Ali Baba pants! They made for a perfect halloween costume, and they are so comfy that they make great PJ pants too! 

Meet Guy Sebastian. He was the first Australian Idol, and was a judge on X factor over here. Guy was in Melbourne to perform at the Meyer Christmas Spectacular for Sunrise. Think Good Morning America but scaled way down. He sang a few christmas carols for us and kicked off a series of concerts for the morning. 

What better way to welcome the Christmas season than a night filled with cookies and Elf?!

With all of my free time, I have been reading plenty of books and I just got a library card so I can continue reading for free! I wanted to find something else to do with my time so I took up crocheting-something I have always wanted to do! I am just getting the basics down and I have a long way to go before I will be able to make something presentable, but you've gotta start somewhere right!??!

I got to skype with my family while all yall celebrated Thanksgiving, and this is the way I was greeted..aren't they wonderful?!?

Even Ackie Ammaw got in on the fun! 

Well there you have it. See, nothing special or exciting. Summer starts on Thursday and the temperatures are rising which means this girl will finally get some color again! 

I miss all of yall so much! XOXO
