Crikey! We broke a world record!

Yesterday the girls and a friend of ours, Tom, woke up SUPER early and went to Brisbane... We took a short ballet class with the Queensland Ballet with over 2000 other people, this class broke the world record for the world's biggest ballet class and will be in the guiness book of world records!! It was so much fun, and really nice to get to dance. After the class we made our way up to Australia Zoo, home of the crocodile hunter! It was so neat. There were tons of crocs, birds, kangaroos, koalas, turtles, elephants, camels, and lots of other animals. I got to feed an elephant!! We had such a great time getting away from Gold Coast and seeing more of Australia. We're having an amazing last month or so here, it's sad how soon we'll be going home but we're taking every moment and making the most of it. Hope all is well back home. Miss you guys!

It's been entirely too long!!!!

Hello all! Well bad news is my computer won't be getting fixed. The poor thing just didn't want to keep kicking. Haha I guess as long as the computer is the only casualty of Australia then we're good! I am still having a fantastic time here down under. I just got back from break in Sydney and Melbourne last week and it was absolutely perfect. We had such an amazing time. In Sydney we saw the opra house, the sydney harbour bridge, saw a movie at the largest imax screen in the world, went to china town, went to the blue mountains (in the rain and fog, no mountains were seeen! haha) and spent time all over the city. Sydney was absolutely beautfiul!!! In Melbourne we took a trip down to the great ocean road and saw the 12 apostles which is my new favorite place it the world, it is so beautiful!!! We had an amazing break with so many good times and memorable experiences. I am so, so blessed to have been able to do everything I wanted to. Other than break and fun times, it's been business as usual. I've been making it through school, we have only four more weeks of class till study time and exams. The semester has been flying by so fast - I don't even want to think about leaving yet! I thought I'd be so happy to go home (and I will) but the closer it gets the more I realize how attached I am to this place. It's become like a home to me! Hopefully I'll get to return one day... we'll see! Well I will try to be better about updating from now on, things should return to some sense of normalcy for a little while around here! Thanks for all you guys do to support and encourage me! Love you all!
