Smiles for you…

It has been brought to my attention that certain people in my life are having rather serious Mayana withdrawals, and as such I thought I would share a few of our latest fun times with her.

She’s been having so much fun here with Nana and Pop, and is learning so many new things. She loves to ‘help’ (though sometimes the amount of actual help she offers is questionable). She has discovered the joys of running under a garden hose (something she’s never been able to do in our drought-stricken town), and enjoyed her first dance in the rain.

She’s cheeky, and fun and full of love… here’s proof!

It’s probably hard to tell, but in this photo, the Mayana-Berry had perfected Pop’s limp to a T. He has ligament damage and is hobbling a little at the moment, and his little shadow has decided her ‘knee sore’ too. So she wears a bandage, and limps with him.

Apparently Nana’s cupboard is the *best* place for picnic lunches. I’ll just have to take Mayana’s word for it.

Poser much?

Mayana absolutely loved her nudie-rudie play in the rain. It took some pretty forceful convincing for her to come back inside.

I’m not sure what this was all about, but it makes me giggle every time I see it.

Hope you got a good dose of smiles :-)

Times they are a-changin’

In two weeks, I will have finished my internship.

In three week, I will have handed in my last two assignments ever, and celebrated at an awesome graduation dinner with my uni mates. I will be a teacher!

In four weeks, our household items will be in boxes, in a storage shed somewhere.

In five weeks, we’ll be officially homeless, living with the in-laws, praying and crossing our fingers that everything turns out okay.

It’s blowing me away, the culmination of all this – of five years of hard, hard work; of being uni students with no money – stuck in a place where we never felt completely at home, three hours away from family we wished we were closer to… and in five short weeks, this chapter of our lives will come to a close.

Such a big ending – and such an unknown beginning. I never knew you could be filled with so much excitement and so much anxious dread at the same time.

83 days…

Until Christmas! Can you believe it?

I love Christmas, pretty much everything about it makes me happy.

One of my favourite things to do at Christmas is decorate our house. I go all out, and there is always something Christmasy in almost every room of the house. This year, we won’t have a house at Christmas. In fact, in another 6 weeks, we’ll be homeless! (But I’m trying not to think about that).

Regardless, I couldn’t help myself, and when I saw the delicious Christmas prints at Spotlight, I had visions. And before I knew it, I had created my newest Christmas decoration…

 

And I’ve already asked Mum if I can hang it at her house… haha.

Did I mention how much I love Christmas?
