Home Sweet Home

I have now been back for nearly 2 weeks. It's strange as now it hardly feel that I've been gone at all. It feels completely normal to be here. It's been so good to see all my friends and family. It really didn't feel like I hadn't seen them for a year though.
Since I last wrote, I have:

 Been to Seaworld

Played on the beach for the last time

Finally went to the koala sanctuary and cuddled a koala.

Went to Singapore.




And arrived home safely to a tearful reunion. Our parents met us and then we all went for breakfast in a pub where we were waiting outside the doors for it to open at 7am.
The first day back was weird. Everything was new and exciting yet old and familiar. Mel and Jamie came to visit and then we went to see Laurie and his new house and see happy birthday to Tash. Although I did end up falling asleep on his sofa. It was an early night for me before waking up to jetlag at 3.30am. The next day involved going to see my granny and my aunties before coming home to an amazing roast dinner!
Last week I spent a few days visiting Ryan and his family in Wales and then on Saturday I had my homecoming party. It was so much fun –we had it on Friday Island, which was beautiful. We even had a bouncy castle and a hot tub, which were both amazing. The weather even stayed nice for us despite the forecast being awful all week and waking up to grey skies and rain. By the time of the party it had cleared up a bit and was just a bit on the windy side.

I love being home.
