Back Down Undah!

Hello All! And welcome to another exciting edition of Amy IN OZ!! haha

So I've made it back down! No big problems...although I did get to sit in the LA airport for about 5 hours cause the plane was late coming in from NY. But a HUGE thank you to Susan and her family for making me feel so welcome in their home! I had a great time! Thanks again!
And it was awesome to see Miss Maura out there in all her glory! What an awesome job man! I really thought it was cool! Miss you already:-(

Anywho....Im just at Andy's house at the moment! I will be for about a week or so until my "family" in Eastwood comes back from holiday! Things are great with him also! It was so funny at the airport because I had called him to let him know the flight was about an hour behind--so he could sleep in a little! Turns out the pilot was going 80 million miles per hour and we arrived only about 10 minutes late! And I got through customs and quarantine so fast! So I was waiting outside for andy--and how unromantic! He was waiting inside somewhere and came up behind me! haha theres a love story for ya! But its great to finally be back with my boy! YAY!
So last night we just met up with a bunch of his friends and his brother, Ben, and had some drinks. Then Ben had a BBQ which was awesome-although it was a bit late cause by that time I was hammered! Being overtired and hungry is not a good combo! 100% bound to get drunk quick! haha But it was a really good time! Today, Andy has a soccer game at 1, then I think we're going to get me a mobile! SO I can rejoin the 21st century! Then there are plans for this evening, but of course I don't know what they are!

But ok...gotta run. My fingers are frozen! Yea....its freezing here! Esp. in the AM!
But I love you all! Missing you! More to come so come on back!

Drumheller side at Amanda's party!!  Posted by Picasa
The Family at Amanda's graduation Posted by Picasa

VISA approved!!!

OK.....so only 7 days until I depart Syracuse, NY for Los Angeles, CA. Although I am looking forward to hanging out with Maura and Susan, I am realizing how weird it's going to be without my family for a year:-(
Amanda is going to go through her whole first year of college....Mom will learn what it's like to be an empty nester....and Dad is going to also do that, and move his whole business to a whole new place in the 'cuse.
So much will change while Im away. Its amazing how things keep going on without you! I mean I know they did that while I was at Marist, but at least then I was only 4 hours away! This time I'll be across the globe, but things will still go on as usual. I guess thats how things have to be! How would we survive otherwise!

So we had a good 4th of July! Mom and I just relaxed around the house all day (yes she did take a mattress outside and sleep under a tent for a few hours while I tanned and read!) and Dad got in some good golfing! Amanda had over her BF Justin and some friends! They swam and chilled....then we went to see some fireworks---I'd show you some pics from that but I had to trun in my camera to get fixed cause it keeps stuffing up! Piece of poooo!
Also....Amanda's party went off without a hitch! Had so much fun! Lots of cool people---lots of drinks! (pic at the bottom!)

So now I am just in my room, surveying the things scattered about! I think I'm doing ok actually! My VISA was approved! So I am so thankful that went through! No more worries! And everything seems to be falling into place--as it usually does! Andy always tells me not to worry cause things will work out...I guess he's got a good philosophy! Smart boy!

Anyway...I probably won't write again until I get to Oz.....but I just want you all to know that you are all amazing people who have had huge impacts on my life! I love you all and I shall talk to you from down under soon!

MUAH!

First Post

Well....thanks Brandon for giving me yet another thing I dont have time to do!! haha No, I thought this would be a cool thing for me to have whilst "down under!" This way everyone can keep up to date on what Im doing, and can let me know what they are up to! ANNND i can put photos! SWEET AS!

So...here it goes!

Im heading for Oz in approximately 11 days. Freaking out a little to say the least as I am having difficulties with my Visa application. Whatever...im sure you dont wanna hear about it, just take my word that it sucks! However...I am more than stoked to see Andy in that amount of time!!! I miss him soooo much and its gonna be awesome to actually BE with him for more than a month at a time!
Other than that, Ive just been spending the summer working at Home Depot here in the 'cuse, and hanging out with some old friends and the fam of course!!
Had an AWESOME time when everyone from Marist came to visit! Too bad we can't have one more shindig before I go:-( Oh well...a year will fly im sure! They always do!

I've been hanging out with the family too! and all my awesome neighbors! I can't tell you how much im gonna miss living here. I mean im so happy Im going, but its gonna be weird to move back to the states and have to live somewhere else!

Too bad I can't make it to CT this weekend to see Carla and Brandon cause I havent seen either of them since graduation. But Im sure you guys will have a great time and Ill see you when i return!

Well....i think thats about it for now kids. Im off to bed so that I can have my second to last day at the depot! Oh..and Amandas grad party is saturday...so good times ahead girls! I can feel it in me waters!
Ta-da!
