Last couple weeks in Australia!

My last couple weeks in Australia were quite the blur. With Mom coming to visit, to having to say goodbye to some of my most favourite people, it was an emotional whirlwind. It's even emotional now for me to go through all these pictures! Hahaha!

I wish I could put more detail into each event, but, all I have are pictures and a mangle of memories! I'll do my best to put the events in order .. enjoy!!!

The last Surf Club I went to before my Mom arrived was pretty fun. I went with Larry and Alysha and we enjoyed the sunset. My Mom was coming the next day so I was pretty pumped. Larry and I thought it to be funny to switch shirts. We're special friends.


P.S. For all you dirty-minds out there.. Hooker is a position on the rugby team. Hahaha.

The girls showed up later and we all had our giggles.







Oh, have I told you about family packs? Omg, they're from McDonalds. They basically come with 4 burgers, 4 fries and drinks. You can change the meal depending on what burgers you want... and they're only $19!!!

Well, we stayed away from the family packs as much as we could in a year (some of our other friends had less resistance! hahaha) and decided that tonight was the night for our family pack! Nothing like a few brews and then copious amounts of grease! hahahah!


Thumbs up!

Before I went to Surf Club, I picked up my rental car from Budget to pick Mom up the next morning. My building didn't have a garage.. but Larry and Alysha were so sweet in offering their space to me for the night. So I parked it there for the night and everything was perfect!

The next morning I drove to Brisbane airport to pick up Mom. I was about 2 hours early so I got a latte and just chilled. Then she came! It was very exciting to see her!! Today would just be about showing her my place and Surfers. It was going to be hard for her to stay up long as it was for me too when I first got there!

So, I got her safe and sound back to my place. She met Jess and Kevin and Larry stopped by while Lysh was at work. Nothing like a introduction shot!!!


Cheers! Shotbox Shots for all!

The next day, which was perfect weather by the way, Mom and I headed to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. This is the same one I took Robert to when he came to visit. Mom got to feed the Larikeets, the kangaroos and see the koalas. I think she enjoyed herself hahaha!












After having a great day at the Sanctuary, we headed home. I arranged with all my closest girlfriends to meet at Melbas for $2 steaks and $2.50 Stella Artois! Hahaha It's a special they have every Sunday and I hadn't been yet! It was also a great opportunity for Mom to meet all my friends over dinner!

Yes, the steaks weren't bad. It was a fun night. Jess hadn't received her free fishbowl on her birthday, so they gave it to her tonight!! She likes to share wif me.. I loves her!



om nom nom!

The next few days with Mom were relaxing. We had a busy few weeks coming up with traveling to Fiji and New Zealand, so this last week was all about taking it easy and enjoying my last week.

We lounged on the beach and went to all the malls around me. I also took her to the uni to get my allergy shot so she could see the campus!

I decided I wanted to work my last week as I would regularly. I was scheduled in for Wednesday night and Saturday-day.

After I got home Wednesday, I brought a bunch of muffins home and invited everyone over for drinks. We had a blast playing drinking games and being ridiculous. Yes, we ate a tomatoe and rolled me up in plastic wrap. The pictures may speak for themselves hahaha!












We're ridiculous. But fun. More later. xo
