looking back...

in a few days i fly back home. back to family, back to friends, back to the cold. :)

i gotta say, it's been a good year. some highlights include:
-shaving my head bald for leukemia research
-trip to Fraser island
-painting my toe-nails :)
-pat's visit and mini reunion in adelaide
-finding a church
-bridge to brisbane
but most importantly, it's been a year of good friends, good food and good times. (sounds like a kelsey's commercial or something!)

as i look back on year 2, i would like to think that i've grown.
around this time last year i was feeling pretty smug about myself cause i had made "big steps" in my life. i learned to cook my own food, wash & iron my own clothes and really live independently.
but this year i'd like to think that i leave australia with not only more medical knowledge in my brain but hopefully as someone who's grown in character and maturity. mmm... maybe that's stretching it a little. :)

t-minus: 2 days, 3 hours and 35 minutes until my flight!
