Last Days in Oz

My last day of working in Australia is tomorrow! It's going to be bittersweet because I am so super excited to go home, but I'm really going to miss it here. The work, the people I work with, my apartment, living across the street from the hospital (greatness), the beaches, the warm weather, ...
Now that I'm behind on blogging about New Zealand, Melbourne, and the Whitsundays...I might as well just talk about something else.
So, Bobbi and I have our last day of work Friday, then frantically pack our bags on Saturday, as well as take stuff to give-away, and cancel our ph/elect/water/all those things that you put off to do til the last minute. Then, we sadly leave on Sunday morning to go to TAHITI for a few days before heading to the states on the 15th! This will be our 13th flight here in Australia - yes, we've travelled like maniacs in the last six months. But I have loved just about every second of it. I'm going to look back on living in Australia and I'm sure I'll be remembering it as one of the best times in my life. I remember in May flying here and thinking to myself, "I have so many things to be thankful for - and God is so GOOD!". I was in shock that the whole Australia thing really was happening. Now those same thoughts run through my head - I am SO blessed to have been able to live in Australia, experience life in a different country, and see some of the most AMAZING things. But more importantly, God makes a way for us to live out our dreams and passions...and that's something He's really creative at!!!! I'm so excited for what's next for me in life, although I have no idea what that is!
I'll post pics from my last day tomorrow. It's "Party Day" at the hospital and all the units have a theme and everyone dresses us. The ICU's theme is Anamalia- so we're dressing up as animals...and i'm a lady bug (the Aussie's call them LadyBeetle's - i don't want to be called a Beetle thank you very much!)

A few of my favorite Aussie saying:
Picture = "picky"
Breakfast = "Brekky"
School holiday for the seniors = "Schoolies"
Sunglasses = "sunnies"
Television = "telly"
