Catch up..
There has been heaps of things that have happened in the last few weeks...
I had a weird Christmas day. It was just mum, dad and I in the morning. Mum opened her presents first then Dad and then lucky last Me. I got some really awesome gifts from the ever thoughtful Santa Claus. I got a couple of Cd's one being Hilary Weeks ( I love her music). I got some awesome books that for some reason make me laugh all the time. I got glory box items and so many TEA TOWELS!! The morning was somewhat slow after that I had a shower and got ready to go to Tamera's in-laws for lunch. This was the first time I have been elsewhere for Christmas lunch. I wasn't to impressed because it felt like with all my siblings being gone tradition was also. But we had a nice lunch and afternoon. As per normal we went to the park with all mums side of the family. It was a fun evening, Tamera, Jeremiah and I rolled down a hill several times which was fun. Jeremiah would get so dizzy and would run in the wrong direction.
That night we had all the family (minus a few) come to our house to open presents.
Boxing day we had all the family (minus the same few) over for 'Christmas Lunch'. Which involved Ruth tipping water on me and then me tipping water on her =). The rest of the day was filled with packing for CONVENTION!!!!
27Th of December CONVENTION BEGINS!!!!!! After registration and several attempts to locate my room, I finally got into the best apartment ever!!! Lucky me had scored one of the best sections as my accommodation. It had a kitchen, lounge area, a bathroom and three rooms. There was meant to be another in my room but she went to another place. Lucky for me because my friend joined me instead. There was a few activities before the official opening of convention. We had dinner and then later on dancing in the marquee which was awesome!!!
28Th of December- Today being a Sunday we had workshops in the morning and then church in the afternoon. Dinner. A fireside and testimony meeting. And "Don't Forget the Lyrics" (hymn style).
29Th of December- We set off at 9 on a sort of amazing race around Adelaide. My group came second I think. There was a dolphin cruise (I saw a little bit of a dolphin once), a volleyball game (we won 5-0) a missionary activity ( I gave out pass along cards) and a few other activities. We ended up at glenelg for dinner and then caught the tram back to St Marks. There was dancing in the marquee again, which was once again awesome!
30Th of December- Both Catherine and I slept through our alarms and so we missed a bit in the morning. OOPS! There was a talent show which had a lot of really good talent! I was impressed. After dinner everyone was in a hurry to get ready for the Ball which was held at the Hilton. The Ball besides the moment of pain when I got stepped on with a heel was awesome! Best Ball ever!!!! But the heel thing is actually a bit annoying. We had taken off our shoes (with permission) and then a staff member told us that we had to put them back on for "health and safety reasons" about 1 minute after we had put our shoes on BAM! My foot was crushed. I had a massive bruise and it still hurts when I press on it. After the Ball Ashley, Catherine, Sarah, Justin and I all went for a drive to the beach. It was so funny!! Ashley was in fits of laughter the whole trip. We got back to st marks and eventually went to bed.
31st of December - Catherine, Ashley and I ditched the beach and went for a walk to dairy bell to get some ice cream and then into Rundle Mall with Tammy who we met up with. The whole day was just awesome and went out with a bang with the New years party. It was a dress up with the theme of either A or C. I dressed up as

Tahnee is a chick that was staying in our apartment she is so funny and a really nice girl! So she decided that she would attack me and did my hair.
At 12 I ran over to the park to watch the fireworks at elder park and then Ashley, Jessii and I ran all the way to Elder park to watch the end and we were pretty hyped up. We ran into some other convention goers and then went over to the stand where a band was playing and danced and sung there. After all this we went for a drive with Justin and Sarah to windy point (nothing sus guys). We got back at around 4am and I was ready for bed when Jaclyn asked me to pull an all nighter with her. Dumb idea!!! But I did. We went to the oval where a stack of people had mattresses and blankets and joined in with a group. We played rubix cube revolution. Sat around talking and telling jokes. Where we were laying we could see the cathedral and it was really pretty when it started to get lighter. I lasted til 8 when while blow drying my hair I fell asleep (I was standing up) I woke myself up and sat on the couch. I was asleep for an hour and then made myself wake up. I packed up all my gear and then went to the convention close. Lucky I stayed awake. After heaps of socialising Dad came and took me home. Where I proceeded to sleep. Heather Harkness from Perth came to our place (she slept too). At 7:45pm we both got ready for the after party (there was about 4 of these after parties we went to one).
So it is safe to say that I had a really awesome time. As most of the people that went I had withdrawals. I missed it heaps and all the girls in our apartment missed each other heaps. I also like practically everyone got sick with a cold. But it was all worth it.
January 2Nd- Yay work???
I have been working a little bit here and there mostly on special needs. I had a really horrible day with special needs when Briana didn't get her epilepsy meds and had 13 small seizures in her sleep. It was really scary but i got through it and so did Bree.
I have been to a few basketball games lately which have been really awesome. The latest had a fight and everything!!! I am heaps excited for the Wild Cats game on the 31st. GO WILD CATS!!!
I have been really busy with things to do and yet I can barely remember what I have been doing. So I guess I will leave it that..

PS Kirsty, Heather Harkness is looking for someone with a pool so that she can teach swimming. She is offering free swimming lessons in return for the use of the pool. If you are interested let me know.

=)
I have been in a pretty happy mood all week. So be prepared for a happy blog!
The week pretty much started with a call from Bryan. It was a call that has really made me think this whole week. As I may have already told you there is an opportunity for me to move up to Karratha to work at a Child Care Centre there. And although I haven't made my mind up, either way its been really fun thinking about it and dreaming a little.
On Tuesday I went to Juliet's Kindergarten Graduation! It was really great seeing her get her certificate and hearing her sing some songs. I went back to Damien and Natasha's place for a while to chat with Damien. I went with Natasha to Spotlight and then we went to pick Rory and Isiah up from school and then Charlie from Child Care. That night the kids had a concert at school that I went to. It was pretty good. Rory, Isiah and Ruthie did a good job.
YIPPEE!!! I worked on Wednesday!!! Tammy picked me up from work and then we had pizza with Dad =)
Friday I had work from 9:30 to 5:00 it was a long day which was made longer by the rain and ratty kids that couldn't go outside. I was also on special needs for the beginning of the day and Briana was having mood swings due to medication she is taking. So I was getting kicked, pinched, bitten and screamed at for most of the day. I finished at 5 but stayed as we were having a Christmas party with all the kids and their families. It was pretty fun just hanging around Rachel (my favourite worker) and the other people. But when I got home I was wasted!
Saturday for some crazy reason we had a Relief Society breackfast at 7am!! It was pretty alright though.. and I got to play with Anabelle so it was worth it =P
Saturday night we had a Nativity thing and then I babysat Jeremiah and Ruth untill late.
Today is SUNDAY!! I had a good time at church and also at the Christmas devotional we just had.
I am still happy too so bonus!!

I am gettting really slow in my bloggings =O
Well nothing much has been happening this last week. I had work on Friday but it was only for 3 hours. It was still just awesome being there! Sarah who is a littl girl at child care (so cute) had a shirt that said "ASK ME ABOUT DINOSAURS" written on it, so I asked her what she knew about dinosaurs. She pointed at her top and said "ASK ME ABOUT DINOSAURS" =) Later I was with her and Abdul and she decided that we were fairies! I was a boy fairy -.- and Abdul was a girl fairy -.-. As I was walking away she called out your not flying Sarah. Silly me!!! So i put my "wings" out and flapped all the way around outside! The joys of Child Care!
Nothing else has really happend..I slept over Tamera's house on Friday night and on Saturday we had a Christmas Party for all the mothers plus Tam and I. I put some christmas lights up but I still have more to do. I will upload photos when its all done.
This is my baby! =)
