HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hello to anyone who's actually still following this almost nonexistent blog! i'm sorry for the lack of attention it's receiving! let's see...since thanksgiving, we haven't gotten up to much. i'm still working at helly hansen and enjoying it. the people i work with are great, one girl's from long island and another one looks like lindsay lohan pre-drugs, anorexia and hair dying. haha we have fun and it's great to be able to make good money before traveling about. courtney is selling roof insulation. sounds weird yea? but apparently there's some discrepancy in which the government didn't give people who are entitled to roof insulation for free, so courtney goes around knocking and asks if people want it now. it's free and an easy sell because literally they don't have to do anything! basically, our entire house does this job and it's hilarious. they all pile into a van at 3pm and get back at 8pm. so great! mom and dad come thursday! yayyyyyyy! i'm so excited to see them! we're going to go to the country where i stayed on the farm so we can ride and spend some time there. then for christmas, we got a beach house in torquay which should be relaxing. i'm ready for some familiarity. it almost seems like we're done here in melbourne. our best friends have left and although we live with an awesome group at the rock, it just feels like it's coming to an end. which is ok. in fact, it's good because we know it's time to move on. new adventures! stay well folks.
