So I'm back from my own personal hell. (ok not really) I went away for 2 weeks the same day I posted my last journal just to get away from everything that landed in my lap at the same time. I wasnt perpared for it but anyway such is life and I can gratefully say I had amazing support while I was away from someone I've never met but offered a shoulder when I needed it the most. So it was 2 weeks out in the country with nothing and noone around which felt amazing, although only having livestock as company from the neighbours farms did get a bit much after a while. Sheep surprisingly enough have no conversation skills. It was also just meant to be a weekend away as I couldnt really afford the break away from work but after 3 days away there wsa no way I was coming back so soon. SO one would think that during this time I would have written tons and tons and taken photographs etc, but no such luck I'm afraid what I did write I wont be posting here it wasnt "creative" writing really it was more screaming at the page and getting things out.

So now that I've bored you to tears, I'll go on to say what I'm here to say and that is my birthday is coming up in 2 weeks! yup in 2 weeks I'll be 23! It was a bit of a shock when i realised but at the same time I'm still young and have a long way ahead of me! I'm surper excited as I'm spending this summer in the States!! yeah thats right and my best friend Amy who is from texas is the one who got this going. we are leaving on the 27th June and I'll be having my first 4th July which should be great! And if this couldnt get any sweeter we are going for 6 weeks!!

So from all this great news it looks like the rest of this year is going to be one to remember! and I really mean that! I'm also going to be going home back to South Africa for November and December which is our great summer! and hopefully if I cn pull it off I'll be there for January and begining of February as well! I havent been home in 2 years and I miss my fam so much plus I've missed 2 christmas and my whole families huge birthdays from my bro's 30th, my moms 50th and my grandparents 80th (yeah both of them!) and then from there I'm making the move to the States to study again! I have the choice of New York, Texas and L.A so who knows!! How you may be asking? well as of monday this week I have a green card into the states and a paid ticket!! I know how sweet is that?

Anyway so moving along, I'm to celebrate Amy's 25th birthday which is today and my great news!! I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will be catching up on my messages and 3,398 deviations!
