I Hope You Dance

Today I officially got to Sydney, Australia and it was by far one if the most scary days of my life. I had to travel by all by myself around the world. I have never traveled by myself today and then to top it off I had to meet my two roommates who were complete strangers. When I walked in the place was mess and I was so scared to find out the people who were living behind those closed doors. That was hardest moment of my day was getting through that. I eventually met one of my roommates, Melinda. She seems to be very nice and has been living for a couple of years. She is from Australia the place with the big red rock? Not exactly sure where that is. My other roommate has not left room and I have not met him so I will have to wait and see how that goes.

Anyways on to my picture, this is a book that my mom secretly sent with me in one of my folders. I found it earlier tonight and found my mom and dad had written me a bunch of little notes next to motivational quotes on every single page. I couldn’t help but crying when I read how proud of me she was and how she couldn't believe how fast I had grown up. I even seem to be tearing up now when writing this but not sure if that is because of the lack of sleep I have had. I can't lie though I am pretty proud of myself also for getting through these first 48 they were not easy. But anyways I have only gotten a few pages into the book but thought I would save the other pages for days when I am feeling home sick. This experience already is showing me how lucky I am and how I really do have the best family in the world! As Winnie the pooh said "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." I am a bit scared of being here by myself and not sure what tomorrow holds, I Have this book to help me through the hard times and remind of how lucky I really am :)
