Time...

In just waiting for this page to load, I realise just how long it has been since I have created a post of any real substance, and I appologise sincerely for the lacking of such for so long.
Lets see shall we...

I have officially moved out of Armidale. As of the 30th of June I am no longer a resident of Wrights Village; anyone who knows me well, knows that I am indeed an incredibly sentimental creature, so yes it was sad to be leaving. After four years living in the place called Wrights Village, the cheaper version of University life I've grown rather attached. If anyone is considering a move to Armidale, and wants a great place to live then I can recommend 'The Village' it's been fun, and it's a bit sad to be leaving it now.

So for at least the next 10 weeks I'll be living at home with Mum and Dad. The interesting thing is, that Kate is living with mum and Dad also, and now it seems that Matt is moving back in for a while too. It's all actually rather ammusing, like a circle of life almost. As I find myself coming to a close of this stage in my life, the stage of the student, and preparing myself to step into life as a 'real adult' it's like beginning right where I left off four years ago; living at home with Mum, dad, Kate and Matt. To be perfectly honest, there is something incredibly comforting about that fact, gives me a renewed strength. To know that four years ago I found myself here, terrified, but here I am at the end of it, stronger and happier than ever before - I KNOW that I have what it takes!!

Other happenings...

Right now I'm reading 'The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an ordinary Radical' By Shane Claiborne, and can I just say that it is Fantastic. I find myself so inspired by him and his passion. But more than anything it is his honesty and humble spirit which makes him most appealing as a storyteller. If you get the chance have a squiz.

Also, right now I can't get enough on the Track "Imprint" by Double Drive, from their album 'Blue in the Face' great band - great track.

On Monday I begin my teaching internship. 10 weeks in the primary school system, by the end of it, taking on the whole teaching load, supported by my Prac teacher. It's a scary sort of excitement, knowing that this is my chance to shine, and really show what I've got. Depending on my performance during this internship, is the difference between work and no work. I know I have what it takes!!

what am I missing? Missing Timmy - we celebrated 4 months on Saturday, and he was in town for the the festivities at Belles place as we celebrated Den and Cathy's last night in NSW before they headed back to Melbourne. Was rad to see them here is this state and I look forward to their next visit to our little part of the state.

I'm loving my time with Katie, getting to know Katels all over again. We've always been best friends and I never doubt that we always will be...but living in the same place and having the opportunity to chat on completely transparent levels means that we're reignited that level of closeness that has been lacking slightly over the last few years. I love that time.
In fact I love my time with my family, and I'm more than happy to be here now.
I'm looking for places and hoping to have a deposit on a house by this time next year. So I'm enjoying my time living at home, while I have it.
I am growing up, and being a kid really doesn't feel all that long ago.
But these times are exciting, and I'm glad to be here, and even more thrilled to be adoring it.

Stay beautiful and keep smiling at the day :D
