saturday july 31st - aussie bbq night. we spend the day building a bridge for "noel and sons" i totally drop wood on my leg and i still have a bruise from it all. but i feel very accomplished. worked really hard.

monday august 2nd- kurt has work. i stay home and talk with carley pretty much all day. we make stirfry. soo good. kurt comes home from work and takes me out to meet his friends. i was so nervous but they are actually pretty sweet.
tuesday august 3rd- Hang out with kyle alllll day. Feed horses. play makebelieve for HOURS. he is a sweetheart. 7 years old. kurt works a double shift today so he can have wednesday off. i go out to eat with the gregsons and sit next to kyle. he is adorable and in love with me. i meet some friends Sandy and Utch. AMAZING people. when i get back home there is a note on my pillow that says "i love you" i nearly died.
wednesday august 4th- kurt is home from work today. i absolutly love it. he fixes up his motor bike and takes me for a ride around the farm. i took sooo many pictures of him and got some pretty good ones. he took me to university of Wollongong... i fall in love with it. so beautiful. we go out with his friends again and i start to get to know them a little better and its quite nice.
thursday august 5th - today. just woke up. quite tired still. we are off to queensland today when kurt gets off work.(about 5) im going to be doing our laundry today and packing things up for the weekend there. we will just be there for a couple days and there is great shopping there! i cannot wait!
so theres the recap of what has happened. and here is the recap of how i feel....
i feel so good. the best i have been in a long time. i havnt been stressing out about anything except having to leave. i feel this sort of connection. like that i can trust God in whats going to happen. i just feel like life is going good. i feel happy.
Australia has roped me in. its a beautiful country. the university is beautiful. the people have such a beautiful outlook on life.
kurt: he's becoming my best friend. i have never had a friendship like this before. i can tell him everything. ive been trying so hard to be critical about him and to find fault in anything but he keeps proving me wrong. i know i can trust him. we had a talk about God the other day and all my fears about him not being a beliver left. i went through my journal and went through the 'checklist' i made for what i want in a person and he met them all except he bloody smokes. so he will die first. hah.
there have been all these things that he has done that just melt my heart and theres no doubt in my mind. it does feel weird but in a good way.
the only thing that is wrong:
my family isnt here. Jay Jorge Joh Allie Kendra Mom and Dad. i need them. i know that when im home all i could think about was being here and that when im here i feel happy. but i miss them all to death. if i could call or text or anything it would be so much different. but all i have is facebook and skype. i just need to see them. i need to lay in bed with mom and tell her all the secrets about being a girl. i need to have my dad tell me what it means to be responsible. Noel is just like my dad. (sidenote) i need to wish joh a happy birthday and make sure the boys are treating her right. i need to tell jay that hes a bitch and i love the shit out of him and jorge needs a shopping partner. allie and kendra need their partner in crime. ive been longing to run around naked with them. you guys are the sunshine of my life. and i love you.
today i checked out something on my bucketlist.
i fell in love.
