ROAD TRIP!!!

Woo Hoo! I'm going on a road trip! I'm so excited... even tho we're leaving at 6:30 am tomorrow morning. Who decided that anyways...? :) Who cares, it's gonna be fun! We're heading in the direction of the Gold Coast but I'm not sure if we'll get there. I think the plan is to be at the beach every day, which is totally fine with me! There are 6 of us going on this trip - Grant, Josh, Jonathan, Ansley, CJ and me. What a crew, it's gonna be mad.

Ok, enough raving about the trip. :) Things in the rest of my life are interesting... ok, they're tough. We still don't have a house and the new students have already moved into the house we used to live in. To make things even more interesting, the gas to our house got shut off yesterday because they claimed we didn't pay the bill. When I rang them to find out what was going on, I found out (as I'd suspected) that they were sending the bills to the wrong address! So, because I wasn't getting the bills, I didn't pay the bills and they shut the gas off. Which means - no hot water and no stove or oven. But, I just found out that we have gas again!!! Yippie! Hot shower in the morning for Andrea! :) So, that's all the fun stuff that's been happening with our housing situation.

I also got a hair cut today... it's shorter that I thought it would be but everyone's saying that it looks good... and I'll get used to it soon. :) I also, spur of the moment, got some purpley-brown low-lights put in, they're really funky. Of course, after the road trip I'll have plenty of pictures and I'll post some of the best ones. :)

Today I also bought a new SIM card for my phone (yes, today was a busy day... it gets even better), which basically means that I'm switching phone companies so that it'll cost me less. I pay $50 and get $230 worth of credit - what a deal!!!!! So, I'm excited for that cuz then I can call people more and not be worried about texting people all the time - which is my main form of communication out here besides face-to-face. :) I love Australia!

And finally, I DROVE today. :) Yes, yes, that may not seem like a big deal since I've been driving for 6 years but they drive on the other side of the road here and, since I don't have a car, I have never bothered to get used to driving here. But, I am praying for a car (for various reasons) so I thought it might be a good idea to start driving a bit. :)

Well, those were the big parts of my day. And tomorrow, the road trip begins. Yay for holidays!!!
love you all,
Drea
