Hiya!!

Hiya everyone,

Sorry its been ages since i last updated.

I have been doing so much and everything had been amazing. So amazing that i havent had time to sit down and write every week. Things have been crazy! But everyday i write in my diary (planner) of what i did so i wont forget and will be able to tell you. 

Lets pick up from the middle of March....

March 16...I had to wake up super super early and go to the airport to get HANNAH!!!! YAY

My friend Kerry let me use her car that whole weekend and it was amazing so nice to have the freedom todo whatever we wanted todo and easily.  So when i was at the airport and when i saw Hannah i instanly teared up i was soo happy. All these months when i felt homesick i just blanked it out cause what was i gonna do about it no need to be sad. So when i saw her it was like unreal like what is she doing all the way down here..ive been waiting for so long and finally i had a peice of home with me!! It was awesome!! 

So i wasnt a very good host..becasue i didnt really take into account her being jet lagged. Cause i had a million and ten things for us todo! So straight from the airport...down to Bondi beach..have brekkie.I gave her a run down on everyone. Layout at the beach. Go back to house hang out...go shopping. Then that night i made plans for evreyone to meet up in Manly....so there was about 15 to 20 ppl that all came (Not the Yews or Baz :/) So she got to meet all the peeps i hang out with, so know she knows what i have been dealing with lol  After dinner we got ice cream and went to the beach...where we got soaked!!! good experience for Hannah.

Next day was our sight seeing day...it rained! Big suprise!!! But we still went down to Darling Harbour and went to Zoo and kinda walked around. Hannah didnt feel good at all. So we just did little shopping and went back home to rest!

Sunday was nice and sunny so we went and Saw the Opera House and Botanical Gardens and walked around the city markets. That night we went over to Yew's so she could meet them and Baz. 

 Monday morning we had to leave at 4am to fly up to Cairns. By the time we got up there and found are scary ghetto Hostel, which hannah called a Prison cell from a 3rd world county. She was sooooo soooo sick so we went to the Doc. Ended up she had strept throat. :(  As soon as we got there it had started raining which sucked. So we got some stuff to eat and just chilled out. Didnt stop raining for days. That night a cyclone hit. Everything was flooded and the roasds leading to and from cairns had landslides and were washed out! So we had planned to go up to Cape Tribilation and stay up in the rainforest for a few days but noooooo we couldnt get up there because of the road closed. So we were stuck in Cairns. We left the scary ghetto place and found a really really nice Hostel. So it was still raining soo thank goodness it was Tuesday...cheap movie day so we went to the movies like 2 or 3 times lol

Next day roads still closed but it was nice a sunny...good soak up all the wetness!!  Went and hung out in the City Baths. We met some really nice people at the Hostel and hung around with them. That night we went to the Midnight showing of The Hunger Games!!! It was sooo good!! Some people even dressed up.

Thursday we picked up our rental car because that was the day we were suposed to head out on our roadtrip but we still had stuff todo here. So we got the car..smallest little car..I LOVED IT!!! It drove Awesome!! So we drove up to the Daintree Rainforest. On our way we saw tons of Cassowarys and when we were on the Ferry we saw huge freaking crocidiles everywhere...SCARRRYY!!!!  There was soo many croc infested creeks and beautiful waterfalls everywhere. Finally we made it where we were going and we did Zip-lining through the forest!! SOoo amazing!!! The guys were awesome and said we were their favorite tourist, they even invited us to go out for drinks!! lol After that, back down to Cairns.

Next day Friday...got on a boat and out to see we went!

It was perfectly sunny and amazing catamaran with about 50 some people. It was about an 2 hour trip out to the reef. They had stinger suits you could wear (protect your self fromthe jellyfish)...i really didnt want to wear one but it was stinger season and the people on the boat said they wouldnt get into the water without one...so i didnt want to be the stupid tourist that got stung. So we put them on and they were soo funny..looked like spiderman or somthing. Anyway once we were stopped, i seriously was the first person int he water and i was off...Hannah was right behind me. There was no reason to wait around. The Reef was sooo cool. So huge! There was quite a few fish but the reef was truely amazing. At one point there was a "drop off" so i swam way out into the nothingness and as soon as i was out there, there was a huge school of little fish going by and all i could think of was there is gonna be a feeding frenzy!!! AHHHHHHH get back to the reef!!!

So we were there for quite a while and then we got back on the boat and had a huge lunch!! Then we went to another spot, it had a little island nearby that we could swim to. Turns out if was a freaking bird sactuary...and there was like 700+ birds and they were flying everywhere....yea right im going there!! EWWWW

So we just swam around this place was really shallow so everything was up in your face. Still tons and tons of fish. Some pretty big ones too. After being there awhile it was time to go and as we were heading back to the boat...i saw it...the one i was looking for...the HUGE grouper fish!!!! It was right near the boat soo everyone was just kinda floating there staring at it. So what do i have to do....i dove down and touched the HUGENESS!!!! Then it got scared and all swam away...when i came back up one of the boat guys started yelling at me!! HEHE oops!!

Saturday we were off on our roadtrip...finally...3days late!! So we had some ground to make up! We ended up stopping at a cute little winery on the way which was good to break up the drive!  The whole time we were just driving through Suagar cane feild pretty much but its still soo soo pretty and WAY greener then you would expect.

Ther was Cane toads...EVERYWHERE!!! I kept running them over!! HE HE HE  Ended up in cute little town found a nice little place to stay.

Next day walked around a bit went to the beach! Then headed back on the road. Today was amazing we went to Eungella..its a national park on top of a moutain. So we are going up this moutain and its the thickest fog i have ever driven in and then all the sudden you get to the top and its crystal clear and its the cutest little country side. It was amazing...its called the town above the clouds..or somthing like that and it totally was. Anyway we went there to go see the Platypus's and we saw them....they are sooo freaking cute!! WAY WAY smaller then i thought they were but soo soo cute!! We were sooo excited!! So after that we hit the road and were driving and driving...this strech of road looked like Africa...kinda desolate with a random tree here or there. But just alot of nothingness.

The next day we went to Maccas for brekkie. This trip we lived off Maccas...it was good!! lol

today we were headed to Bundaburg. I let Hannah drive for like 20 min...i couldnt handle it..she scared me to much and it was becasue she was scared. Anyway we got to Bundaburg..had some lunch then went to the Rum factory! Was there for a little while. Then Went to Mon Repos beach. This is where alot of the sea turles go and have their eggs. So there is tons of baby turtles here. So we go and its end of the hatching season soo i was hoping there will be turtles...ends up ther is a couple nest left and what are the odds...some are hatching!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! so we saw the cutest little babies come up from the sand and run to the water...everyone there probably thought i was a weirdo...cause i was chasing the little guys to make sure the dumb birds didnt get them. Anyway it was the cutest thing.

So then we wanted to make it to Noosa that night so we headed out...we got there BUT we stopped to get somthing to eat about 1 1/2 drive back and Hannah left her purse with everything in it. So we headed back and it was in the town of Gimpie. It was late enough that we just stayed at a scary hotel but it worked...its funny anyone i tell say that they would NEVER stay in Gimpie if they had a choice hahahah its just funny.

So that next morning back to Noosa. We just went to the beach and layed out!! It was soo nice.

Then we headed to Brisbane...had lunch there not much to see. Saw the Storybook bridge and ya that was that. Went to Surfers Paradise, found ourself a nice little place to stay and went shopping and to the beach!!! The next day we did the same thing Shopping and beach...we actually were flying back to Sydney that night. So got to airport and got a bottle of booze through airport security. WOO HOO had some nice little drinks and away we went. Got home and had to tell Adam and Pip all about everything. Hannah was suposed to have 2 more days but her airline changed it and so she had to go home in the morn :(  So i went to get Kerrys car to use...and then me and Hannah just laid in bed and looked through all our pictures!!

Next day i went and droped her off :(  It was sad but we had had fun and it would only be a few months before we see each other again!!!

After that everything kinda went back to normal...hang out with Pip..play with the girls...skype mom and meg and whoever!

Sat..i went out in service..Baz was totally out of line and rude...things jsut havent been the same since QLD. Oh well!!  The yew girls were off to Europe for a month so i was excited for them.

Sunday i went to the Zoo with Adam and the girls...i was the mommy for the day. Their car isnt big enought for all of us and Pip didnt really care about the zoo and i hadnt gone yet soo i went. It was fun...i always love the zoo!! After that Adam dropped me off in Ryde on the way home becasue Paris was in town and i HAD to see her!!! We went shopping for a bit and just hung out. Her and Ryan were going to some paty that night but it got to late so i ended up going...i had to wear something of Paris's which i thought was a joke but then i found somthing of hers that actually fit over my big ol booty!!! The skirt i was wearing was a size 4...size 4  lets just say thank goodness for elastic. Anyway the party was good and his sisters were there so it was good seeing them and actually knowing some people there. I ended up just staying with Paris that night and then in the morning we had breakfast with Ryans parents..soo random but they are the nicest people.  

Next day, is the big day..Madeline has her surgery. For people that dont know..When the twins were born they were very premature so they had to be in the hospital for awhile, while there one of the nurces gave Madeline a dirty feeding tube and she got staff infection, it went straight to her bones and ate away at her hip. So since then she had only had one hip. You would of never noticed excpet for the fact that one leg is shorter then the other. So it has been a bog deal up until now becasue she has been growing and the gap is getting bigger and bigger so they had to go in there detach the carlidge that has been growing and pull her leg down and recontruct another hip for her. She will have to do this every 4 years i think until she is fully grown so they can put and plstic hip in. Anyway So she had her big surgery. Everything went well but she ended up staying in there for 2 weeks...the first week Adam and Pip did every other night with her but then when Adam had to work Pip just satyed there sooo i had Imogen and Trinity full on 24/7 for 2 solid weeks. That was pretty full on...but not to bad the baby is sooo easy!! and i think Imogen liked being by herself!!

Then when Madeline came home she was in a full body cast, for the next 7 weeks...so that right there is pretty full on as well. But its amazing how kids just adapt to what they have to deal with, she has been awesome about it and has a little skateboard to help get her around. But now she just crals everywhere and can pretty much do anything.  So all of April i worked for Adam and Pip just helping out. Kerry has been letting me use her car bunch so i have been going to Gladesville cong. thats where all the "cool" people are lol But its been really really good!! For me.  We had a Zone visit...which was awesome. Bro Spline (i think) from the Governing body came out and had a big talk there was about 14 thou poeple. It was soo good! We went out to dinner after that it was fun!!

When i got home that night there was a huge Possum just sitting in our drive way and it wouldnt move...it wasnt scared of the car or anything. I wouldnt get out til it left lol Dumb possums!!!

Was gonna go over to Gladesville for Sunday meeting but evryine busy so i didnt...Danielle comes and gets me and we go out to eat with some of the Guys. Me and her really hit it off.

When Adam got home from work he came in and was all akward and was all "Congratulations on it being the day you were born"  then he was all "is that ok to say" lol and was joking about it, it was really funny!!!

So we met up with about 10 other peeps and had dinner. Almost evryone orderd the Crocodile. I didnt but i tryed it and it was that bat....a bit chewy but good. Then afterwards we went to this place that had Karaoke...you got your own private room. And there was any song possible was available..that was awesome. Everyone kinda just sang together...a few songs someone did a solo...but it was just great!!  We were there for like 3 hours!!! That night i just stayed over at ther girls, just casue it was easier. Then morning..hung out..went witnessing for a bit. Then i went home. Cause i had another big night to get ready for!! lol There was a ton of people that were all going into the city for dinner and then drinks. So the girls (Yew's) were gonna come but then they didnt want to go out 2 nights in a row...boring! So i got all fancy smancy and when i was deciding which shoes to wear she thought i should wear by big 7inch heels...so i did! They were awesome! Anyway i borrowed Kerrys car...met up with a few Peeps and we all went into the city together. We went to the Lowenbrau...its a belguim beer place. But its really good and fun and they had live band.
