Farewell Lunch

My friends and I decided that we needed one last chance to say goodbye before we all departed to our various schoolies trips: Tayla on a cruise around the Whitsundays, Rhett on a road trip to Gold Coast and Rainbow Beach, Marina to Caloundra, Danielle to do Red Frogs in Byron Bay and Jessica and Danielle to Stradbroke Island. It was especially sad for me as I wont see my friend for nearly 6 weeks while I'm in Perth.

Goodbye my beautiful friends and see you next year!

Movie time

My girls and I went to see the second installment of the Twilight Saga: New Moon. I've got to admit I rather liked the movie. In fact, I think I may have liked it more than the first film. It's an interesting experience going to the movies on a premiere day because most of the cinema are die hard fans. In our packed theatre there were only 8 males and I'm sure they were dragged along by their female companions. So because it was mostly women in the theatre the movie stirred up some rather funny reactions... lots of 'ooooohhh' s and 'aaaaaaahhhhhhh' s whenever Jacob or Edward came on the screen. A fun night all up.

The funniest part of the night was when, upon exiting the cinema, we stumbled upon a poster for the upcoming Disney movie 'The Princess and the Frog'. We were filled with shock and awe when we discovered that our very lovely friend Danielle looks exactly like the Princess! Well don't you think she does??

Beach Trip

On the final Thursday of school my grade took a trip to the beach where we: went for walks, swam if we so desired (I did not) and just soaked up each others company for the last time. We started the day off with our Year 12 chapel, a chance for us to say goodbye to the grades 7-11. This is was an insanely fun hour filled with songs, the boys dancing to Beyonce's 'Single Ladies', and teacher thank you's. Then it was off to the beach. I have been so blessed to be a part of a year group like mine was. We just have so much fun together and all get on really well. I'm going to miss them.

My best friend is 17!!

Jessica turned 17 on Friday! We celebrated on Saturday with a murder mystery party, set in Las Vegas, which was lots and lots of fun.
Some pictures:

Typical Marina party, we all had to dress up as something either magical or Alice in Wonderland-ish. I dressed as a tree spirit. Can't really see in the pictures but I had some lovely gold makeup all over my face. We had lots of fun running around like idiots, taking photos and playing silly games. I won pass-the-parcel, and ate waaaayyyyy to much food.
Oh how I love my friends.
