Down South and Such

They loved banana peels
They really wanted to come in the cabin
So many sheep


Okay, so it's been awhile since I have updated and much has happened. I will try not to make it too long. My mom was with us for 2 weeks (one of the reasons I have been too busy to update). She left last night after quite the trip. On Sunday she stayed home while Jeremy and I went to church. When we got home we had a big surprise. My mom had broken her foot! We spent almost 6 hours at the hospital before they finally put her in the cast. Needless to say I was dissapointed that we didn't get to bring her to church in the evening, it would have been a great opportunity for her to see what we have been doing over here.
Even though she was on crutches my mom still wanted to make to trip down south to Margaret River. It was just her and I because Jeremy was off to New Zealand for 6 days for a pastors conference with Graham Johnston, the senior pastor of our church. The drive was 4 hours and quite the adventure since both my mother and I have a terrible time getting lost. We made it though and had a great time. We missed out on doing a few things because mom couldn't get around too easily but we still got to go exploring and we ate some fantastic food. It is so beautiful down there, the drive lone was worth the trip. We stayed in this fabulous resort and had our own private cabin in the middle of the bush. They supplied us with food to feed the animals because they come up too your back door in search of something to eat every day. We almost had a few kangaroos sneak into our cabin when we weren't looking! It was so cool. The resort is on a animal reserve type thing, where they are trying to bread certain animals that are endagered so there was so much to see! Mom also splurged and got us massages and facials. They come right to your cabin so you don't even have to go anywhere! Another great thing about Margaret River is the Chocolate Factory, the best chocolate I have ever had! It was a great trip and I miss my mom already!
Anyways I will try to update you on how Jeremy's conference went when he tells me about it (he has only phoned me once, can you believe that?). We have a friend coming to stay with us for a week and she arrives tomorrow so I am trying to get everything ready for her. All these visitors are a lot of work:)
