Hey Everyone
Well a lot has been happening around here that’s for sure. First of all I now instead of no job have two jobs which I am totally excited about that’s for sure. The first one is I work for Drake temp agency – so just reception or data input in wherever they need me type thing. But I’m only at the job for like a day and then on to the next place so that’s kind of cool. The second one is for the café I previously mentioned – so I work there as well a couple days a week. Its pretty good and I’m finally making money! Lol
Well besides that I’ve again been meeting a lot more people especially within Kelmscott church. I went to YPS, which they call club this past Friday and really enjoyed it. However the ratio of boys is totally up there compared to girls which makes it interesting I guess then. But they were really open and super friendly so it wasn’t to nerve wracking for me.
Also I am now Aunty Shannel to all of Auntie Kina’s grandkids which is pretty cool for me –it’s so cute now when they say Aunty Shannel (it makes me feel important anyways)
This weekend is going to be busy - its their study weekend so guess what?? I get more people again!! Nah it will be good fun and I'm looking forward to it. Also next week is the Royal Perth Show which is kinda like our Royal Winter Fair thing in Toronto so that should be very exciting to go to as well.
Love to chat longer but I'll be late for work then (can't do that now can I)
Looking forward to hearing from you
See ya

Been a while
Hey everyone
Yes I know its been awhile but I have been busy so its all been good.
I am at my new address now and no more shifting for a while. So I am at my great Aunties place and its very quiet to what I am used to but pretty cool and will definatly help when I begin studying again.
I've done all the nessecary things - like set up a bank account, get a health card, file for a tax number ecteria so thats all been keeping me occupied and of course meeting so many people at the same time.
I've kind of been adopted into Byfird church club (lol) as I got invited to 3 things of theirs over this past weekend but its all been awesome fun. They are so welcome and friendly - almost makes you feel right at home. Also one of the girls (Mrs.Plug would know her) has really been around for me - taking me to all different places and even took me to the University of Curtin to get information on applying into the nursing program there.She really is great!
My Aunties family the vermuelens have adopted me in their family as well which is really nice - I've seen all of them at least twice now and am expected to be at their family events!!!
This past Sunday I had Lord's Supper and it was for the first time that I had to go up to the table. It was my first Sunday at the church, attestation read off just moments before and I was jsut freaking out - everyone was so serious and yeah - but its done and I didn't spill the wine but did almost drop the bread plate (I didn't think it would be that heavy!)
Then that afternoon I got to hear Rev.Wildeboer preach (an amazing sermon) and got the chance to talk to him as well. He will becoming you way soon thats for sure.
So that concludes for now - I am on my way to listen if global warming really exists and now that I am living in Australia I might say it does.(lol)
bye bye

FUN!!
Hello
How is everybody??!! I'm sure you are all enjoying going back to school - or watching everyone else going back to school around you?!!
This has been a total blast. I got a lot of things done. I went and got a cell phone (except here you have to call it a mobile or people just have no idea what you are talking about). And also set up a bank account with exactly 5 dollars in it. It will get me super far thats for sure.
Some people took me to Rottnest Island and it was absoutley fantastic. We got the VIP package so like compliementary morning tea, a guide all day, buffet lunch and wine testing in the afternoon. Besides that though the history and scenery was just incrediable. There was barely any wind which is rare and it was an amazing day!!
On Friday I went to a new familys house in Byfird visiting with friends and they lived on a bull farm so that was pretty neat - then the ute got stuck in the paddock (truck in the field) and we had to walk back to get the tractor to pull it out - very fun and adventerous.
Then tonight (Saturday) I went to the Baldavis International dinner and that was really cool. They got all the Canadians to come up to the front to sing the anthem which was awesome and there were a lot of us up there thats for sure!! Never really realized how many Canadains were actully here.
Anyways better get going again - can't sleep during church now can I!
Bye

New things
Hello everyone
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the labour day weekend before y'all have to go back to school.
Its been quite a week here with us 3 DeJonge girls - we have been having alot of fun. We only had supper twice at our house this week which was great because otherwise they would have to suffer through my cooking. A lot of people invited us to their houses so that was really nice.
Thrusday was awesome because it was my cousisns birthday so we did a suprise thing for her and boy she was suprised. It was an awesome day though - I think at the end we all had 5 peieces of different cakes people had made for us (YUMMY!!!)
I found out that I'll be staying for this week at their house as well because my uncle and aunt have to stay a little longer in the states but thats no problem I'm already busy all the way up to Thursday this week.
Last Friday was alot of fun. I went to the Rockingham elementary school to help with their cultural week and got to do mosiacs. It was the grouting part so it was the messiest but it was alot of fun. All the kids for some reason knew my name but I didn't really know any of them. Then I went and looked around the other displays and some were really nice - beautiful to see.
I also got a viewing of my uncles mechanic workshop this week - it looked so good, it was amazing. And then I saw a truck that they had transformed with a barbecue in the front and then in the pickup part would hold all the drinks - it was really awesome and they had used it for their open house.
Also I worked!!! Which I thought was pretty cool. Thanks to my Auntie I helped out in the El Shaddai cafe just to see if I would like it and the owner would like me. I think I got it but won't start work of course until my uncle and aunt come back because that cafe is right beside where I am supposed to be living so a bit of a distance for me to get to while I am here.
Full of fun its been for the last week and this week will be just as busy
Enjoy your freedom before school starts!!!
