Tasmania

At the beginning of last year Nana asked if I wanted to go on a holiday with her, 'sure where we going I said?'
'Tasmania' she replied 'I've always wanted to go'

With dates booked, itinerary sorted and flights payed we were off.

After a long flight we saw our first glimpses of Tassie. Such and amazing place.

We spent the first two days in Hobart, visiting the Salamanca markets, and exploring.



We popped over to pt. Arthur for an arvo then headed off to cradle mountain.



We visited the Tasmanian Devil sanctuary while we were there learning all about these fascinating creatures watching them feed and we even got a pat :)



Then on the way to Launseston along the road I see this little fella waddling...


Then he decide to hide when I came over to say hi.

While in Launseston, we visited a little boutique shop called the old mill, I loved it there, we found heaps of cute handmade things. It was amazing.
Then we went for a walk through Cataract Gorge. I was very proud of my Nana who hates hights and scary looking bridges.


Needless to say I went on the chair lift by myself, it was a long way down.



And once I had conquered that I looked for something a little more daring... Cable handgliding...
I felt like a bird...



All in all I loved Tasmania, and I loved being on holiday with my Nana

The Yarak family.

This last year has seen me change and grow as I suppose most have, but this one had a particularly big change...
My address...

I move in with the Yarak family (which was a blessing from God) I left the comfort of my family to gain more independence as an individual. Moving just 4 blocks away from my parents I had a good set up :)

In moving I adopted five beautiful girls as my own little nieces. These girls started of as a cute novelty that came along with living in the upstairs room of the Yarak house and the quickly became way more then words could express. I love those girls as if they were actually my nieces. These adorable girls each with such unique personalities stole my heart.

To Maya, stand strong in what you believe. Your a beautiful young lady that one day will change the world with your love smile and laughter. Thank you for sharing your love with me.

To Rasho, I love you more then you will ever know. I love that you are always thinking of others, continue to share your heart and mind with other people. God has given you an amazing gift and it would be a shame to hide it from the world.

To Hannah, never stop being you. Your such a cheeky chicken-wing, your smile, your laugh and your love make everyday brighter.

To Gracie, I watched you grow up over the last year. Your become such and incredible little person. Continue to let your enthusiasm and happiness make people smile. Stesi truly loves you.

And to Sophie, your such a precious gift from God. You have shown us all how miracles work. It was so cool to see you at just a few hours old, dress you for the first time and hold such a tiny bundle of life, and see you now independent and determined to catch up to your sisters as quickly as possible.

And their incredible parents, the people who so willingly opened their home to me; their family and their everything.

To Rita, you are a truly incredible woman I am so blessed to call you a friend and to have been able to spend this last year with you and your family. You have been a listening ear a wise voice and such a big part of my growth this year. Love you so much.

To Charlie, you are an incredible man, husband and father. Thank you for letting me into your house. Your someone I really respect.

This chapter of my life is closing, I'm moving out but I am not moving on... You all will always be a part of my life. I will love you for ever and ever, and the impact you had on my life and heart and will continue to have on me, will never fade.

Love to each and every Yarak
From one that owes you so much,
And loves you all more than you will ever know :)
