Outta Whack!

It's Spring time here. And soon to be Summer. Thus my background. Though, I must say I am missing the feeling of fall. Halloween in Spring just didn't feel quite right. Christmas in Summer (100* weather at that) will be so weird. Nonetheless, I'm taking what I've got and enjoying it at it's best. Been beachin' it TONS lately!! And loving every minute of it. With Spring, comes the big races over here. Horse races. Everybody gets all "frocked" up and heads out for a fun day. That's next weekend for me. As I'm spending this weekend on the beach with my Canadian friends :)
Melbourne trip the weekend after that, Christmas party the weekend after that, "Nanny Night Out" the weekend after that, taking the Girls to see "The Wiggles!" the weekend after that, then Christmas. Why oh WHY no matter where you are, this time of year is always SO busy! I know I am oh so behind on pictures. But I will gather some to put up very soon. For now, I must go Soak up the sun, while I'm missing Fall.

Behind!

I'm SOOOO behind on posting, it's insane. I mainly post all my pics on Facebook now. It's a lot easier, and just about everyone seems to be on there, so yeah. Life in Australia is absoluetly amazing. I get along so well with the family, and the girls are as cute as can be. Defenitley 2, but still cute! My sister and brother in law were recently out for a visit. My brother in law had a bussiness trip here, and his office happened to be located litteraly down the street from where I live! It was a lot of fun to have them in town, and SO hard to say goodbye. I had JUST adjusted to life here, and sometimes think seeing people from home happened TOO soon. But, I was counting down the days til they came, and LOVED every minute of it while they were here.
I feel SO incredibly lucky to be able to be here and have this experience. Sometimes on crazy days, I have to remind myself, that some people would give anything to have what I do!!

Here are a few pics from recent days!!

* It's Illegal to hold a Koala in the state of New South Wales (will be making my way to Queensland for that adventure!) But you can pet them!

* The other picture of of me and my friend Natasha and just myself at Bondi Beach. I LOOOOVEEEE it here in Australia. And being SO close to the beach just makes it THAT much better!

When I grow up......

I always wanted to be a teacher. But once I figured out how much I HATE school, that SO changes. But only a little bit. There has always been this thought in my mind that maybe I will become a High School World History teacher. It'd be amazing! But along with that comes this list...that I'm contemplating for careers. Too many choices. And have NO clue where to go and what to do.

- The latest..... Police Academy. What's better than being a Police officer. It's not about the uniform. Not about the authority. But for me...about helping other people. Those in need.

- Beauty School...people always feel better about themselves when walking out of a salon. You just feel good. Or I do anyway. And how much fun would it be to chop off and dye hair all day??? Easy peasy.

- Daycare ... I've done this forever. It's what I know. That's why I wonder if once I get home it's time to move on? Sometimes I wonder. But at most times, I could not imagine my life not working with kids. In this type of job it is SO not about the money. Just the other rewards that come with it. The feeling. Some know what I mean. It makes everything you do worthwhile.

- Flight Attendant.... why would you not want to make someone elses trip more enjoyable? Get them a drink, or help them feel more comfortable. Maybe even taking their ticket at the gate. Somoene has to do it. And it is still one of the top things I TOTALLY want to do. Although I had the chance, the timing just wasn't right. If it's meant to be, it will happen again. I have no doubt about it.

-HS World History teacher....still an option. When I learn to love school. 4 freakin' years??? Kill me now!

Australia at last!

It's been.....who knows how long since an update. Too long. I've made it to Australia. It's just as beautiful as it's talked up to be. Actually...better! I love love LOVE it here already. These pics are just from last Saturday night. Went out with these two girls I've met, and had a blast! Will post more pictures later. But, I'm blogged out for the night. This update continues pic wise, so keep clicking "older post" to see all the fun stuff. I forgot what it was like to have so much free time, to blog! Free time meaning, I only work from 7am-6pm now, instead of the 5am-11pm. Sometimes, I'm just not sure what to do with the time. As I'm meeting more and more friends, I don't think I have anything to worry about. Miss you all!

PS- Proud Aunt shout out. I have a new nephew as of 6/22/09 and a new niece as of 7/10/09. That makes for 15 nieces and nephews! Miss and love them all!

Double Trouble!

These are the twins that I now nanny. Cute as can be!

DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Meet Madeline!

And Imogen!

Cake Making

I've always wanted to take cake decorating classes, and start doing cakes. I made my nieces huge Cup Cake cake for her first birthday, and decided I'd take up my own on my birthday. ( For those that don't know, I have a shoe obbsession, and limegreen and pink are my favorite colors!) My little nephew Lincoln decided to help as well....
