Happy Aussie Birthday! Yep, on the 7th of Feburary in Australia I turned 24 years old. It was a good birthday. We celebrated on the 6th since in America that's the right date for my birthday but as the day went on I realized that since I was born in California, I actually wasn't born until 2 am on the 7th here in AU. That was good for me. I got to strech my birthday out for an exrta day:)
It was a good birthday. David woke me up with flowers and then I got to open up my presents at 6:30 in the morning. I got workout pilates DVD's, a excersize ball, chocolate...It was really fun! Then David even made breakfast for the whole house while my house mate (Erin) and I tested out the workout DVD. Good fun! Later that day Erin made me a birthday Cheesecake too. It was delicious! That morning though we had good french toast and then off to school David went. It was his first day back after the summer break here and he was very glad to get into the swing of school life. He is very involved this semester as he is still doing the ministry with the guys getting out of prison on Thursday nights and Sunday nights, and also is heading up a team of guys for the welcome lounge at the mens sevice on Thursday mornings. On top of all that he will be starting to volunteer in a prison ministry and will have school, me, life, and ...JUST LOSTS TO DO! It's good though. We are also heading of a married couples ministry through Hillsong college and planning parties and keeping that going. It's been good. We get to meet all the couples and just make sure they are taken care of and handling life here in Australia and at college ok. I'm really blessed to be a part of that. Plus I'm getting to work allowside the College Registrar and get to know his family. It's been really nice to know an older couple that we know we can go to with questions and life stuff. That's been a blessing.
SO, there you go. Life at it's best in Australia...and it's getting better every day.

Thank you Brenda and Missy for the amazing package. I was so excited when we opened it. It was wonderful!
