Happy New Year

A BIG Happy New Year to all! Especially to everyone in Australia. At the moment it is 7pm and the end of the year is yet to come for me however I know that in Oz the celebrations have already gone ahead...so Happy New Year!

It is crazy to think that this time last year I was in Wollongong celebrating the turn of 2010 and getting ready to leave the country 2 weeks later. I feel like this year has been quite epic. I´ve had the most amazing year because of the way God has provided everything; because of the people I have met; because of the opportunities I have had to see different things; because of all the things I have learned through it all.

England was an amazing chapter of this year and Rydal will always hold a special place in my heart.

Travelling with Rosie and Lily was so so good! We saw many things and laughed at random happenings during our time together.

Living with my family in London was such a massive blessing - I´m glad God knew what he was doing when he decided to bring our whole family to England! It was great to be back with them for a month!

Travelling again with Rosie was just amazing. We grew so close and had a ball seeing and learning so much about Spain - it´s history and it´s culture.

A White Christmas in Germany with real candles in the tree, glühwein, roasted goose and christmas carols was really special. New Year with the Jam Donuts (apparently there is a legend that sometimes the baker puts mustard instead of jam is put into the donuts for luck....didn´t come across one, thank goodness!) and the fireworks which is so different to our traditions on a hot summer night in Australia.

What a year! Can´t wait to see everyone!!!!
Until then enjoy the holidays, the summer (sun!!!), and this new year...what an oppotunity we have ahead of us!! Woop!

Love Steph xxxx
