In two days, July 20th, it will be a year when I first boarded a plane to fly to Australia.

Time flies.

HA!!!

I love being pleasantly suprised!

Well...

...this post needs to be presented in person to person format. But it's out there...

The world is changing, yet again.

In two weeks everyone's lives will be different in some form, some I'm jealous of, such as my friend who is returning to Australia in 13 days for the entire summer after we just returned a little over four months ago. I had put Australia in the back of my mind in order to focus on the semester that was in front of me...but when I start to review how my Junior year has gone I am flooded with memories and I get so excited I just want to squeeze them in an embrace...or cry because that's my nature...It's my goal this summer to get all my pictures and stories recorded and organized...but it is cool to see that we have changed because the situation of my friend returning to Australia is not really that big of a deal since she has the risk factor taken out because she knows what to expect and she is returning to a family she already has a relationship with. Flying half way around the world...again...If I had the money I wouldn't return to Australia...right away that is...I would travel other places first...and maybe I will...

...but before I travel again on any big adventures I'm excited to stay home this summer to study (taking a summer class) and work. I'm excited to see how we are all going to change again, with my whole family returning from work and school to live in the same house...it might be a summer the world never forgets.
