In the past month, I've hit a few bumps in my journey, but nothing that a little music and good company couldn't cure. The bumps haven't ruined my experience, but rather helped me grow as a person and learn from the mistakes and issues I have encountered. I guess I was just given a dose of reality the past month. Not everything is going to be perfect and undisturbed forever. It's how I've learned to deal with the problems, learn from the situation, and move on that has really been the blessing. I've been learning little life lessons and coping mechanisms that will certainly benefit me for the rest of my life.
Despite the bumps, some great things have occurred as well. After my birthday, I prepared for Light the Night. It was a wonderful night filled with so much hope for those suffering from blood cancer and comfort for those that have lost someone from the awful disease. I am so proud of my team for coming together and raising over $1000 for the Leukemia Foundation!I've also been planning out how to spend my last 3 months in Australia. Yes, I only have 3 months left! It has certainly gone fast, but it's not over yet. That's why I have some fun trips in the works to finish off my time here with a blast! Make sure to check back in the next few weeks with trip updates. :) And as some of you know and for those of you who don't know, I have a new guy in my life. :) He's pretty spectacular and has certainly made the last month more tolerable!
The sun is shining bright again and the heat is slowly coming back. I'm excited to spend time at the beach again, but the heat only reminds me that I will be leaving all the sooner. It's a bittersweet feeling. It'll be great to be home, but I'm not going to let that affect my last months here. :) See you all soon!
