…a brief glance…

At my Sis’ Birthday 010706 (with the Brother and the Sister!)

It has been sometime since my last blog and I figure it?s time to update. So here tis? my update from OZ.

I am hours away from having to do a testimony at my friend?s church, and though I have a deep sense of peace about what I had written, the thought of standing in front of everyone is a little more than NERVE racking.

Week Two over, and it seems that the initial shock of no longer being in London has worn off.

Well it?s now Monday morning. I know, I know, I?m getting slack. It seems harder to blog of late.

I spent most of the week at my sister?s place and hung out with the Ats?! On Saturday I had my friends? church?s Anniversary. The testimony I wrote was thrown to the side as it all changed when I got there.

Saturday evening was spent with my old friends. It was nice to be able to catch up properly and little by little it?s starting to feel ?home? again. The boys played poker and the girls?well, there was karaoke involved, so you can picture the laughs that was had at each other?s expenses. Once again I thank my beloved friends for picking out POINTED songs on my behalf!

I am currently enlisting myself to numerous agencies and applying for countless jobs and now playing the waiting game.

In the spirit of my upcoming ?coming of age? ? I have been shamelessly shopping. Last week while I was at my sister?s place we went shopping. I finally got my IPOD. (Thank you C for organising my pay!) I have decided to call him Bert. So Bert and I have been hanging out a lot of late. Hey, I?m unemployed I have time to play with my toys and even name them. Have I mentioned my phone is called Ernie? It seemed only fitting, seeing as I got them both on the same day. You can reach me on Ernie +61 410 583 784!

I?ve been having a lot of good days. Some days are harder than some, but I know with time, it?ll fall into place.

I am driving more and more, which I am enjoying and looking forward to being able to do it without adult supervision, but it does give me bonding time with my Mom. Even if it means biting ones lower lip and gripping the wheel extremely hard to preserve composure.

?Right! I said RIGHT!!!? she says as she points to the left. *e looks confused*

We?re having a family dinner for my actual birthday. All 20 of my immediate family! We?re going to the local Italian Restaurant that we used to frequently visit before I left. Then Friday I have dinner plans with my friends. Saturday, I have a Girl?s Night with my sis? and cousins, which will be fun seeing as it?s going to be the first one for me. Initiation me thinks! FUN FUN!

Anyways?best go. Muchos hugs!

Thanks Ashe for my surprise in the mail.
