Albany.. oh sweet Albany

So last week me and Jess took a trip to Albany which is way down south, pretty much as south as you can go to get close to the one and only Antarctica.. burr..

It was amazing.. I will need to clean off both of my cameras for all of those photos and get them posted on here.. we went and saw the Gap and the Natural Bridge.

Which is where you go and stand on this metal rail that holds you in place and look straight down where it just drops into the ocean.. you really get a perspective of how small you really are. The natural bridge is gorgeous it is naturally built where rocks are just forming this bridge and the ocean crashes underneath it all day long.. I was in a trance just watching it.

Then we went to the Tree Top Walk.. I never knew that I kind of have a fear of heights and seeing through what I am walking on until I am here.. ha ha.. oh well.. they built this huge rail walk way that you go up on and you are up there among none other the tree tops, and these are some massive trees.. it was a little scary when the wind would blow and rock the walking path, but it was amazing.

Also we went to an Alpaca Farm, which I am sure that it started out just being that at first, but they have so many other animals there. I got to go in the place with the koalas and pet them, didn't get to hold them they are not used to people, and well there claws are a little scary. I did get to hold a baby kangaroo that was a rescue as her mother was killed (if I remember right) she just hops all around the farm.. they are soo light it was awesome. They named here Ruby, I wanted to take here with me. Then they had a camel there that I feed and well it is a different experience when his teeth are pressing against the palm of your hand, but his lips are enclosing the rest of your hand.. I screamed the first time I feed him.. ha ha.. the pictures Jess took with my facial expressions are way funny.. (will post them later) Also I was able to bottle feed a week old goat that the mom didn't want, well she had twins which is quite common for goats and she is older so they figured to give one of the babies a chance with the mom, and they would take care of the other. Then I was able to hold a 1 day old, 2 day old, and a 4 day old goats.. they are soo precious. Once again the photos will tell more of the story.

All in all is was an amazing trip.

sanding.. painting.. and so much more.. oh my!

Well let's see what is new and going on here.. This week I didn't work at all :( which sucks because I need the money.

Andy the pirate look alike guy that I was working for was doing business a little dodgy to say the least, and he just started to get really creepy with me, so I decided that for my best interest that it was good to walk away from there.

I did go to Kathy's salon on Friday from 9:30 until Noon to be tried out for a position doing hair there, she said that she would get back to my by next week. I know that I should be stressed, but I don't feel that way at all. I just feel calm about it and trust that things are going to work out somehow and someway.

Jess and I painted her parents house this week well the massive hallway, and then I did some sanding with the power tool. I love power tools.. I should just start my own business here with a sander and paint.. ha ha.. then we painted around the door frames, and we are going to install the floor boards next week, and finish the door frames then too. Then I think we will be moving onto the kitchen area and maybe the living room, who knows? I love to paint though.

I have been doing haircuts and colors on the family members here, and some friends, then Jarrom said that his co-workers all of their girlfriends want their hair done, so hopefully I can get that lined up and make some money that way.

This weekend we are having a party for Nana as she is turning the young age of 82. So we have been cleaning the house and getting stuff ready for the party for tomorrow.

We saw on the news the other day these ladies that enter these competitions online and then they win prizes like every week... oh yeah.. I am sure that you can guess what me and Jess were doing last night.. ha ha.. I didn't enter the vacation or money ones because you have to be a resident here in Australia, so I entered the ones for hair, make-up, and skin products.. I am hoping to win something... keep your fingers crossed for me. I am pretty sure the ladies on the news story enter these things for hours on end every night.. I do not have the patience for that.. so we will see how a few hours of wasted time went.

I just had an idea that I should advertise some more that I do some photography here, and maybe something will come of that. will keep you posted.

Well that is all I can think of for now.. toodles!

Blessings are coming in..

Well I have learned this week that with patience that all good things will come about.

So I have blessed with a hair stylist position at a salon called "Hair's Looking At You" so cheesy..I know. I just work there with the owner of the salon who's name is Andy. He reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.. ha ha.. but really he does.

He just tells all of his clients that I am "Miss Utah" I went and worked for him last Saturday for 6 and a 1/2 hours, and I make $20.00 per hour which is not bad.

Then I also received a call from another lady that Jess and her mum used to get their hair done by, and she also wants me to work at her salon too... so now I have options. So I am going to call her this week, and meet with her, show her what I can do, and then go from there.

Let's see what else... oh yeah..Jess and I went to Aqwa Underworld the other day.. the coolest thing ever you walk in this tunnel and you get to see lots of fish, sharks sting rays, and turtles floating in there.



Also for only $160.00 you can go scuba swimming with the sharks in that tank.. so guess what I am doing.. oh yeah.. so excited!!!!

Jess' whole family has said that they will come and watch me, and take video of it, ha ha.. notice none of them volunteered to go in with me.. lol.. Don't get me wrong I am terrified of sharks, but I figure why not just jump in with both feet and conquer my fear... granted I may be the only diver in the tank with a yellow cloud surrounding me..ha ha.

I will post some of the pictures from that day later.. they are Epic!
