june.

june. is. here. the last days of being australia are here. truly a bittersweet type of thing.
today i woke up just so happy. and then....i realized that i actually have to leave this adventure. so sad. when i think about home and that i get to be home so soon, i dread being here and time moves slowly. and then i think about here and leaving here and how much i love it and the family...(finally) then i get so sad. where is the middle ground?...well i believe that is where i just enjoy the moment and am truly thankful for what God is blessing me with NOW! well...that's the hard part of the lesson. learning to truly enjoy the moment and to be thankful for it.
so as of right now...i am so thankful for what God has blessed me with and just look on the bright side of life.
today i learned how to say banana and chocolate correctly....and no and here. alright alright....getting on a good australian speaking roll....already have the twang in my accent says john's mum.
love the kids. love cooking. love packing the kids' lunches every night after doing the dishes. love it when the family is around. i'm going to make the family orange chicken dinner on sunday night. and ice cream cake! did i ever tell you all how much i love baking? it's so fun! and after eating all day...gosh....i work out in my room every night. i love that so much. and...i just need to work on the not eating all day part and then i will be ripppppppeeddddd!
life is good. just soaking up all the greatness of this last week here. only 7 days and 15 hours and 6 minutes until i fly home! oh gosh....why the countdown in hours? why even countdown? ugh. enjoy. the. moment. that's my prayer today. and tomorrow. and probably every day.............oh well, at least i get to work on something each day. :)
life is good.
