I'm leaving today... it is really weird to think about it.... it still hasn't hit me & I don't think it will until I am home..... I can't really explain everything so I guess I won't try haha but I will be home on Friday so ya I guess this is it! Peace out!

Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.

Saying goodbyes is a sad thing, but it is easier when you know you will see them again.

Friday went to Hillsong & it was really awesome then Ali (Ben's friend) & I went to Circular Quay to go to this tribute to Bob Marley concert by Afro Moses where my friend Declyn wass going to playing drums BUT it was sold out.... has that ever stopped me I DONT THINK SO! So of course we go around a back way & find a door that is open & get into this sold out concert FO FREE! It was seriously soooo freakin awesome too! We got on at 10:30 & it didn't end til 1:30.... It seriously was a Marley moment (pronounced Mahley).... that is one of our new words some other ones are soulsic, charcus, mint, and swinter but i dont like that one so much so i might change that 1 to swintosis when i say it!

Saturday: Did some last minute stuff during the day & then went out with some girls I know (anna & Jen) at night & we played a bit of pool & just chatted... I am gonna miss them they are so lovely!

Sunday (today): Went rockclimbing outside with Bob then went to a pub with some of his friends & then went out on a yacht & went sailing! All of that was the first part of my day then I went to church with Ali, Ben, & Nathan ( AKA Holla at ur Boi) & then met up with Tommy & his brothers & his friend from England & Jen at the Opera House & just hung out at a this one German pub for ages... it was super sad saying goodbye... but once again I know I will see them again... ANYWAYS the last few days have been awesome & the few i have left will be great too!

 See u guys in less than a week!

Hey guys ok so Aubs just left today & I seriously don't think we have stopped since she got here haha! Ya we have just been super busy!

Tues:We got a quick tour/overview of Sydney (all the suburbs) from my friend Nathan, got coffee with Dion & Dylan (his boyfriend), Hillsong Conference with Cece Winans singing

Wed: went to Sydney & did the tourist thing, went to a place called Manly beach & I got in the water by myself & looked like a fool haha, saw an Opera at the Opera House, went to my friend Dave's

Thurs: Went to the most famous beach in Australia (Bondi) where we both got in & looked like fools cuz it was cloudy & rainy!, Saw a concert by this guy Lior (so good!), went out & met some cool ppl

Fri: Did Darling Harbour, went to Wollongong to see another concert (Nessa Morgan... once again soo good!), went out to a pub afterwards & met up with ppl

Sat: Snorkeling, Dared by a friend to wear our wetsuits to the footy game we were going to (for $40 each) so we did it! Here is one of the articles from the Sydney Morning Herald that was written about it (there were 2 haha!)

"I saw the strangest thing at Aussie Stadium tonight
at the Parramatta v Souths match," writes Katherine,
of Moore Park. "Two girls aged about 20, sitting in
the crowd dressed in wetsuits. One of the wetsuits was
badly torn, complete with underpants poking out of the
holes. They both looked like they had just stepped off
a dive boat - still wet - but completely content
sitting there with hundreds of very rugged-up people
giving them very strange looks. They were showing no
particular loyalty to either team. I'm kicking myself
for not asking them why. It's the weirdest thing I've
seen in Sydney for a while."

then after that charade haha we went out dancing all night! It was so fun!

Sun: woke up at the butt crack of dawn to go to Nowra to where 1 of my friends family lives, walked around these cliffs at a beach while it was storming & seriously the power of God was never more evident! You just looked at these massive waves crashing all around you & I seriously don't know how anyone could not fear God at that moment... it is so weird to think how something that at one moment is so peaceful & relaxing at the next can be so terryifying & awe inspiring!, Well after we got soaked we went back & had dinner with the family & it was soo fun!

Mon:  woke up super early again & did an all day hike of this mountain called the Castle.... Once again BREATHTAKING... words can't describe it! After went back to the house then went to the grocery store in costimes haha then all of us & his sister & 2 of their mutual friends all just had a massive dance party & it was so nice!

Tues: Went surfing haha! Soo much fun! I stood a few times but always fell but I have decided because of it that I am going to live at my beach house on the weekends & get a job at a bar there on fri & sat nights & just surf all the time... & maybe i'll go ahead & learn guitar while I am at it too hehe  After that whole day his mom booked us a place to stay & we headed off for our adventure for the next day....

Wed: SKIING! Can you believe it ?!? Yup 1 day surfing the next on the slopes... ONLY in Australia haha! Well as can be expected it was incredible! After a long day we returned home & packed for Aubs & my departure (mine just out of the room but soon it will be for home CRAZY!)

Well that is all of it if u read it all WOW u must either really love me or be really bored or BOTH!

Adios Amigos!
