twenty six

Its official, as of last Saturday i'm closer to thirty than twenty. In all honesty it doesn't feel any different...at least not yet :) I will say its hard being so far away from my friends and family on birthdays, weddings, etc but thankfully my family here made my birthday a wonderful day full of surprises! Most of the day was planned and kept secret from me and I will say these Aussies sure do know how to keep a secret. I tried and tried to get it out of them but they wouldn't spill the beans. I did know that we were going out for brunch that morning with the whole family and then out again later that night but that was all I knew. We had brunch at a little cafe right by the water at Terrigal, one of the pretty beaches close by. It was actually a cloudy, cold day but I could care less because I love, love being at the beach. The rest of the day was fun and laid back. We went to Erina and did some shopping, had coffee club then went back to Mel and Dan's to watch a movie. Later that night we got dressed up and headed out to my other surprise which was drinks and the Lord Ashley Lounge at Terrigal. I couldn't have imagined a better 26th birthday and i'm so thankful for my family here who planned a fun day for me.

Twenty five was a great year, full of big changes etc so i'm kind of excited to see what twenty six holds...I have a feeling its going to be a good year :)

I've been trying to add some pictures from this weekend but for some reason blogger and my computer can't "find" my recent uploads. But some are posted on facebook, so that will have to do for now.
