as of late..

WOOF! It has been one month since I've talked to yall. I told yall I couldn't guarantee that I'd keep up with this thing!



We had a fun little dinner party for St. Patrick's Day, and this was our dessert. Thanks to Pintrest, Abby and I were able to make these rainbow rice krispies. For dinner we had an all green salad, green pasta, garlic bread, and green drinks. It made me want to have a festive theme party for every holiday!



Melbourne has a Moonlight Cinema and so we spend one evening under the stars cuddles up watching This Means War. Just another fun thing this city offers its people. 


See that girl on the top left? That is Amy. She lived here for 6 months as an Au Pair, and unfortunately we only met her a few weeks before she left to go back home, but we had fun spending her last night in the city to send her off. 


We kept the child in each of us alive this Easter by dying eggs. 


Our little circle of friends (:


Two reasons for this picture: one, my hair is shorter and two, the huge bruise on my leg. My hair was so long before. The ends were dead and it was all stringy and scraggly, and I wasn't willing to pay for a haircut. So what did I do? I straightened my hair, grabbed some scissors and a mirror, went to the backyard and started chopping. I figured that since I have curly hair straight lines aren't really that important and it was so long that I had plenty of room to mess up. I think I ended up chopping off 5inches. 


And of course, pictures never do anything justice so this bruise is actually worse than it looks. How did I get this? I fell in the shower. Maybe it doesn't happen to everyone, but I am now officially on the list of people that it has happened it. 


happy friday the 13th yall. keep away from those black cats!


You can expect another update soon. On Tuesday, we leave for the GREAT BARRIER REEF!!! And I'm THRILLED about it!!!

  1. Scary to think you can fall in the shower and you are headed to the Great Barrier Reef with all the sharks and alligators! Be very careful if you venture into the water, stay within the steel mesh! Love you and miss you! I saw Mrs. Hill (teacher from Moore) tonight and she said to tell you hi! Looks exactly the same!

  2. Literally laughed out loud about the shower. Cotter...really? did you slip? Did the curtain come falling down too as you were grabbing for something to catch yourself. I'm playing out this whole thing in my head. :)

    Crazy that you cut your OWN hair. I haven't actually had my hair cut in almost a year...whoops. But it's getting long, and that's how I want it. I know if I go get it cut the person will end up cutting WAY more than I want. It looks great!

    love you!
