on a life-changing note, i can now jump underwater without plugging my nose! this is a pretty essential skill for learning how to surf and it was just something i couldn't do. i had sort of seriously thought about buying a scuba maskfor surfing, but was pretty sure it would fall off and that i would look like a nutter out there haha so i googled and found out how to do it! so now i can go under! stoooked. i even jumped into a wave today!!! whooo! so fun
we went to redgate on sunday around 530 and played in the whitewash, watched the sun go down and saw a whale! it was so amazing.
i've been working a lot which is super because i booked an east coast tour! it leaves on january 4th from cairns and goes down to sydney and ends on the 17th. it is with contiki and i've heard great things about them, so i'm looking really forward to that! it's called beaches and reefs which sounds right up my alley :) here is the link if you guys want to check it out http://www.contiki.com/destinations/australia/tours/421-beaches-and-reefs-start-cairns-new i just need to finish paying it off and book my flights then i'll be set!
today in the morning bry went surfing at grunters with this cool lady she met at the beach last week. she is super nice and showed her where to paddle out and stuff. it was super low tide and its a reef break so there is coral everywhere! i can imagine their poor feet :( i did a little jog/walk/hobble through the sand up and down the beach and it was so nice just to be outside in the sunshine!
tonight we are going to trivia night at the bar bryanna works at, so that should be fun! i don't work until monday so we will see what my plans are. it's supposed to be pretty rainy and crap all weekend, but i just got some new books from the library so i should be good! and i want to learn some new songs on my ukulele :)
i also bought a phone card, so if anyone wants to have a phone chat, holla at meee! obviously i want to talk with everyone! xoxo
also we have planned to do a west coast roadtrip for 6 weeks come may. we will probably leave margs, head down south to esperance to check it out and then come back and drive all the way up to darwin! we will definitely be taking bryanna's car, so it will be time to sell steve :( he's been doing ok lately *knock on wood* so he will be good until then or so i keep telling myself ;)
in other good news, i spoke to my supervisor at work this week and he said that the bottling will most likely go until right before christmas which is actually perfect because then i'll have my three months done and i'll be qualified to come back for another year! then ill have a week or two off before i head over to cairns! i am seriously sooo excited! one of the optional activities is to go snorkelling in the outer great barrier reef, which i am obviously doing! so pumped to see lots of beautiful creatures!
so all in all, everything is going great here. as usual, i miss everyone and want everyone to hop on a plane and fly over, but i realize that isn't realistic haha hope you all are doing fantastic! and i'll try to update more frequently! i always put pics up on my facebook, but sometimes i am just too tired to write up a storm.
love you all soooo much sending my hugs and positive vibes around the globe!
