My Trip to Australia!!

This month really has been a great one starting with a trip to Australia. I was able to go to Australia with my younger sister, Shae, and my Mom and Dad. It was so much fun! I regret to say that Brian was unable to come and to top it off had the busiest week of his dental career thus far. I hope that someday we can make it back there together because it really is a beautiful country.

So I had my first expereince flying over on a 747 Double Decker plane. I was super excited. Although, it wasn't really that different because only first class is allowed upstairs--but I still thought it was cool.


This is the view out of our Hotel of Surfer's Paradise along the Gold Coast! It is really neat I thought that it was kind of like Venice except without all the old buildings and history. The bay weaved through the streets of the city and many people had big huge yaughts and boats.


This is a view along the way to the rainforest. It was BEAUTIFUL.



That is the road we took to get to the rainforest! It seriously made the road to Hana seem like a piece of cake! Most of the way it was a one lane road and yes, you had people coming down while you were going up. Just to top it off, they drive on the wrong side of the road over there, so it was pretty scary, but very scenic.


I was able to hold a Koala bear and feed the Kangaroos. This was probably my most favorite thing that we did. We also did some scuba diving which was awesome and another of the highlights of my trip.

Tagged! 10 Things you may not know about me

1. When I was younger I had an imaginary friend named Alice! We did everything together. When my younger sister Ashley was born I never mentioned her again...coincidence?

2. I love to scuba dive! It is a totally different world down there. I will be posting some pictures from my latest dive soon!

3. I have to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door. I don't really know why? I think I feel clausterphobic or something next to a wall.

4. I remember my great great grandma (the white haired grandma is what I called her) really well. I can remember her house and how she always had nilla wafers. I am told we had a really close relationship. I was only 3 when she died.

5. I have a major sweet tooth and seem to always have a cavity whenever I go to the dentist, hence my dislike of the dentist. (sorry Bri) I once had 20 cavities in one visit! Good thing Brian is giong to ba a dentist--our kids are going to need it.

6. Brian actually wrote in my yearbook when I was a sophomore and he was a Senior saying "If anything goes awry with Adam (my boyfriend all through high school) give me a call" When in fact he was the one to make things go awry. Funny huh!

7. I am very competetive and pretty subborn. Ask Brian!

8. I was in singing lessons at a really young age and did not continue once I moved from Orem to Salt Lake. One of my biggest regrets.

9. When I was younger I screamed SO LOUD and shrill (usually at my brother Aaron for teasing me UNTIL i screamed and cried) that I would immediately get a sore throat right after screaming. I have quite a set of lungs--just ask my family.

10. I really love to cook or bake! I think I can contribute this to having three AMAZING examples to follow in my life. My grandma, my mom and my mother-in-law.

There they are! I tag Paul and Corinne, Adrea Reynolds and Ashley Andrew.
