My last birthday party....

Another year of survival and I've managed to turn 29. Ick, that's just one away from....30. So I've decided this will be my last birthday, not like I'm going to off myself but more in the way of I refuse to turn 30. So go ahead, throw me a party next year, it'll just be my 29th, again.


This year did hold some interesting times as my second birthday in Oz rolled around. My dear friend Carmen came to visit from Brisbane for the weekend.

I met Carmen when she surfed my couch in San Antonio, since then we've been great friends!
Carmen got to hang out with our three dogs while in rockin' Townsville. (left to right) Rosalinda, Kye, and Delta.
As per anyone paying me a visit, I must take them to Magnetic Island for a look and what a lovely day to do so!
Having Carmen here for my birthday was pretty awesome and it was great to catch up with such an awesome friend but still.... there was more celebration to be had...




 The following weekend A.J. (my flatmate) and I decided to have a Safari themed fancy dress party. This is the house all decorated with faery lights, balloons and streamers.

A.J. made me a chocolate cake topped with berries and dragonfruit, all from scratch!
Wil and Mel came as Shingleback Skinks

Robbie was a Black-Breasted Kite and I was a Green Fluffy-tailed Lizard


                                         A.J. was a butterfly but it got cold so she had to cocoon up! 




 It was a great party, and we had a lovely menagerie of party animals, unfortunately those pictures are on A.J.'s mum's camera.
