Hello everyone:)

How are you all doing? I hope things are going well! Sorry it's been a little bit since I've been able to write. Everything has been VERY busy over here with school. I officially graduate on Dec. 2nd! It will be a great experience to see how graduations are held in Australia. After graduation I'm hoping to be able to go to the mountain ranges (Mt. Dandenong) for the afternoon for a picnic supper. My biggest hope is that the weather is pretty. It hasn't been very good the last 2 days. Summer is in 2 weeks, but we actually got hail in my town, several inches of SNOW 2 hours away from here and also 2 days worth of SNOW in the mountains. All of the ski resorts in the mountains are really appreciating the snow, because there wasn't a whole lot of snow during the winter months over here.

I will be traveling to New Zealand with my parents during the first week of December. We will be driving around the South Island of New Zealand. I have been blessed to be invited to many different families homes for Christmas. After Christmas I will be attending a National Christian Youth Convention in Perth. The convention will be attended by at least 1,000 students from around Australia. Perth is in Western Australia, and I have been told that I will enjoy the nice warm/hot weather over there. I will return from Perth on Jan 12th and will then fly back to my US home on Jan 15th. I will arrive home late on January 15th. I then plan to return to my previous job at Pediatric Physical Therapy Services, Inc. the following week. I am certainly looking forward to seeing everyone when I get home, but my time here has certainly flown by and it doesn't seem like I've been gone for 9 1/2 months already!

I pray that you all have a wonderful THANKSGIVING DAY with your families! I will see you all in a couple of months!

Cheers,

Angela
