Queen's bday, Norwegian surprise party and Tutorial party






Week of June 14th, kind of a giant fun time.

Court and I went to the city on the Queen's bday. Went to an old shopping arcade from the 1800's. I behaved, for the most part. Got a sweatshirt and long sleeve t-shirt, good for winter! Also went to the Opera House to see the light festival in the city, amazing! I took hundreds of photos like a giant nerd. Have NO idea how to pick just one (or 8) to show you. They project color and poems on the Opera House at night. They also have a cool drama about an Indian ship coming over in the 1800's. The markets are all open late and the street food smells like HEAVEN. Court and I were in the bathrooms when a GIANT tour came through the outside courtyard (haunted tour, so lame) so we waited for over 5 minutes before we could come outside and leave. Headed to Bondi and had dessert on the beach, FREEZING but with blankets and coffee, totally doable! Great Queen's bday celebration.

Wednesday was fun times at Mars Hill hanging out. I have been squeezing in some late night walks with friends. The air is perfect at night and the sidewalks are so well lit, it's crazy not to. Why was the car ever invented on great nights like winter in Oz!

Thursday we had a surprise party for Eric, who is dating my housemate Helga. SO hilarious to have a bunch of Norwegians at the house, funny bunch.

Friday was a giant tutorial party in the back garden. It looks like Spring, but I promise,,,,it's winter! Crazy to think that I have been here for 5 months. Time is going by so fast.

I have tons of photos this time! Pictures are of the Queen's bday in the City (including the pic of Court and I in the bathroom!) the pic of girls (w/o me) is Eric's party and the tutorial party shot is of the other tv/media girls. Do you get tired of me telling you that I loves ya? I don't get tired typing it! :) And I do work, just giving you the most fun info for this week!

It's called Hillsong Conference, and it is taking over!



Week of June 7th. I remember bits of the week, but mostly the photo shoot we are doing for I-Heart. Crazy great opportunity to work in several countries providing support for basic needs, like clean water and housing. Wednesday was the photo shoot, was amazing. Can't wait to see how the stills look in the tent.

Last full week of training. Shame, b/c it seems like all the classes were the best this week. The World Cup has taken over the area. Never seen so many soccer jersey's in my life. Wonder if America even has a shot?

I am looking forward to celebrating the Queen's birthday next Monday, we're off!

Pictures are of the shoot. Love you

Week of May 31st

I produced! Finally got to do the producing for a major youth event. It was amazing. Parachute Band, Karl Lentz, and me! :)

Court and J performed and rawked. It's been so cool to be friends with such giant rock stars. The fact that they make me laugh is also a plus.

Had a great movie night, and walk to the thinking rock with Court. Fresh air has been in short supply with editing the short film.

Friday, my housemate was involved in a really bad accident. Was getting ready to leave for the day when my housemates came up and told me. June 4th was spent in the hospital, but she came home. God is SO good.

No pictures. I love, LOVE you family. Skype is a good thing!
