oh so happy things.

1. My sister is coming in ONE week!

I get the entire week off and have planned a big hiking trip - on which we will hopefully be visiting this beautiful place - Cathedral Cove - from Prince Caspian.

2. So excited to have some warmer clothes shipped here for winter - shopping is more limited, so clothes from the U.S. seem like such a wonderful luxury. (thanks Danielle!)

3. There are only 10 more weeks till Spring time! (and yes...I am avidly counting down.)

4. And...every week I talk to my grandmother I get more and more excited about spending time with family and having a sandy-beachy-warm Christmas in Oz! I have so much to be thankful for.
