Hello Summer!!

SUMMER IS HERE!!!! Im very happy to rub it in to everyone at home....for them winter has just hit!! Today the first day of summer, makes me smile! the smell of hotness mixed with flowers then the cool sea breeze reminds me of home. Of course the beaches here dont even begin to compair, their pitiful attempts make me giggle- pepples where the sand would be, brown where the blue should be and flatt where waves could be :) though I love it all the same.
This week I finished possibly one of the greatest books ever :) "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. The movie should be coming out sometime next year.. but i recomend everyone give it a read! I couldnt put it down... which im ashamed to admit meant my boys watched a little more tv this week :(
I spend alot of my days chilling with my bestie Kimmy----->
jamming with Gertrude and Betty (our guitars) or eating at our favourite place EVERRR!!!
"Red Mango"... this is the best thing about where we live, there is one about 10mins from me :) For those who have no idea what it is.. here is the site so you to may become an addict. http://www.redmangousa.com/ Its frozen yogurt, then you choose the toppings you want- out of 20 or so differnt fruits etc.. at one stage we went nearly every day :) But had to put some control over our addiction- down to at least once a week!

Wildwood State Park- Camping Night
Friday night a group of us went camping, out east like a million miles away (aka an hours drive). We set up tent in the dark, along with all our little creeper friends. Made the best camp fire in the entire universe! then decided to go for a stroll down to the beach. Myself and 3 others decided to get lost :) How it was possible i can not explain. But on the picture of the camp site below- we were at the "E" section and the 4 of us walked around for about an hour or so going everywhere but that bit. As you can see its off by itself a little?!? we finally made it back after someone gave us their map at around 2.30am. It was a fun little adventure though and i couldnt help but break down laughing a few times. Im quite certain i slept with a rock under me, but all the joys of camping :) Saturday morning we spent at the beach. Relaxing in the sun! the water was freazzzzzzing!!! but most swam. around Lunch time we trecked back home- to the west side of the Island. Munging on some cherrys we bought on the way.
Saturday night.. i thought i was spose to work then didnt even have to!! So i was an angry/lonely me, sitting at home watching tv. Thats when i tell myself "I LOVE BEING A NANNY". The weekend has yet again gone farrrr to quickly for my liking.. But on a more possitive note- 5days until the weekend! Bamboozle on saturday!! WOOOOO

Blogging!?!


As if i dont spend enough of my time sitting on facebook. Now to have this absurd idea to start a blog!!
To all my Aussie's.. this is for you.. to keep you up to date with my little adventures here in the States..
I came here, to Long Island NY January 3rd.. so its been about 6months now :) I would have to say its been the crazziest, stupidest, funnest time i have experienced in my life so far.



Being a Nanny definatly has its challenges... then there are the moments that make it all worth while, a hug from one of the boys just cos i made them laugh, or band practice with the pots, hairbrushes and guitar hero :) -----------------> the boys.... Brandon and Bradley!!
I live in a town called Great Neck.. i spose its pretty great :) hehe Its about 20min train ride to Manhattan.
My people here are soooo fetch!! not having a car means im completly useless! so i would just like to take this moment to thank Kimmy Tribe and Stacy Eubanks for providing me with a social life and driving me around :)
So far i have been to Washing DC, Pennsilvania and Niagara Falls... soooo amazing!!! Also a road trip up to Palmyra, with some church peeps.. also sooo Amazing :)
So much has hapened in the last few months that i honestly can not be bothered writing about! so i will just start from now... deal!!!
