Same 'ol same 'ol....

Nothing really to exciting to report this week, just the same stuff, day after day lol
I finally figured out how to call US with my phone so that was nice but it was annoying cause i had to keep calling Wells Fargo to figure out my account...it was so dumb every one i talked to was more interested in talking about the fact i was in Australia rather then getting me my money back. One guy was like.."so is there kangaroos hoping around?" "Have you checked out the night life, how is that down there?" All i was thinking was..seriously!!!  So dumb, but hopefully that is all took care of.
Friday night i hadn't heard anything from anyone so i just stayed in... Adam and Pip and I just stayed watched a few episodes of Gavin and Stacey, Its a British sitcom..its pretty funny, and had some drinks. By the sounds of it i might beat this "so called wonderful" Kim they keep talking about. So that makes me feel good since im not really doing anything special and its only been a month so far. They also are looking to me for ideas of unique girl names for the new baby. So thats nice since when i first got here they said they were gonna keep it a secret so now i guess they are comfortable enough with me or something lol idk
Saturday Alyce picked me up from service and since she had been gone all week she wanted to make it a long day. We were with this one brother who is from the Philippines and said he "loved to hear American accents" so i felt obligated to talk lol and then the whole time he called me "Leslie" So funny cause i have reminded him and told him my name 10 different times...so i just went with it.
After service we went back to her house and they were having a BBQ...witch isn't Hot Dogs and Hamburgers its every kind of meet imaginable and that it all meet..sausages, beef, chicken in every shape and form.  They had invited Shaun and Elise over for dinner too. 
Now i have a loud crazy laugh but...put Shaun and Alyce's dad together..thats just ridiculous. First Shaun laughs at almost anything and not just a giggle or a chuckle...its a full belly..mouth wide open barely any sound coming out half the time laugh. At everything!!!  Then Alyce's dad...who i cant even think of his name lol has the girlyest laugh i have ever herd from a grown man....its this high pitched giggle....not only that he too laughs at pretty much everything. So when we were all together....half the stuff isnt that funny but i am laughing at them lol it was a fun night. 
Got to sleep in on Sunday witch is always nice, since i cant really do that at home cause there is kids running around and screaming at 7:30am. At least i am a deep sleeper and can sleep through anything lol but anyway we went to meeting and then the girls dyed my hair..back to red!! Yay i love it..its not exactly what i wanted but it works for now and it is definitely RED!!  Then we just watched movies. And that was my weekend.
Some things that are still annoying me...not having the candy i want.....not being able to drive....that i havent been to the beaches yet.....that i am always along for the ride....i havent gotten todo anything really cool yet...Adam does this weird cough/clear throat thing allllllllll the time.....wish i had a car.....wishes it was a bit warmer......i could txt people from US.
But i must say for the first official month of being here...everything is going great. Met some really nice people, the girls are behaving themselves better, Pip is talking more to me lol
Next week should be more exciting!!
