Pictures from AU

If you want to see the pictures that I and my Mom have taken, look on my Facbook page or my Mom's blog. That's where it all is.

Kinda Sad...

Last night I went to Mutual (Young Mens, Young Womens) and we Young Women planned out the rest of the year, minus December. My family and I are flying back to the USA on June 1st and we planned heaps of fun stuff for when I'm not here. Not that they did it on purpose, just that that's the majority of the year. So... I'm kinda sad that we'll be leaving in 3 months...

Tomorrow: TUBING

Tomorrow, I and a bunch of other youth, are going tubing! I've never been tubing before, but I've been told it's TONS of fun! I'm excited and can't wait. I hope I can bring my camera and get some pictures up on my Facebook. There are a "rapids" on the Yarra (the river we're going down) but not enough to tip us over. I've been white water rafting and those were some rapids. We hit some 4's and maybe even one 5. That's the scale of rapids, like there's a scale for tornadoes and hurricanes, 1 being a little bumpy and 5 being terrifying.

Can't wait!!

But I have to. :/

Life Down Under

OK. I know I kinda dropped the whole blogging thing, but I think I'll pick it up again.

My dad got a new job and was transferred to Melbourne, Australia for 10 months. There are about 3 of those months left. My brothers and I have been doing online schooling so we can keep up with the American school system. There are 5 Young Women in my ward at church: 1 Laurel, 2 Mia Maids, and 2 Beehives. There are 2 Americans in Young Womens. I'm from Texas and Rachel is from Seattle. We're going tubing on Saturday and we're all pretty excited. I've never been tubing before and I've been told it's tons of fun.

We went to Fiji about a month ago and we all got really bad sunburns. I got the worst out all of my family. The back of my neck blistered and was EXTREMELY painful!! All our sunburns are gone now, but my arms are still peeling.

Our dog, Buddy, is staying in Texas with some friends and we miss him SO MUCH! Buddy is staying in a house with 4 other dogs and is the second smallest dog, but he's "Top-Dog". He steals the other dogs' treats when they're not looking. My mom said that we might have to let Buddy stay where he is now and get another dog. But we're all like, "NO!! We miss Buddy and we only want him!!" I really don't want to get a dog to replace Buddy, but we can get a dog to keep Buddy company.

My dad said that we're going to go to a Footy game here soon. I want to go to an All Blacks (New Zealand Footy team) game so I can see them do the Haka (an ancient warrior dance that they do before each game that is meant to intimidate).
