I've been busy! BUT not busy enough to forget you!!
WHOA it's September already!!!!
can you believe how fast time is just FLYING by!? WOW!!
I've been SO busy I can't even begin to explain!!! - But for those who are nagging me because i'm never online anymore hahaha I'll try!
It's crazy though to have people telling me to go online - when i used to be on quite frequently! that's what happens when you spoil people with emails..hehe they get one every day and they expect one every day hahaha. i'm just kidding.
BUT i've been so busy!!
Work is great! I'm SO happy to be in the position that I've been in. I haven't really mentioned in my LJ what's been going on, because I've kind of kept it hush hush...but, yeah I've been offered by Jim (my boss) to be sponsored and given a working visa. WHOA. haha yeah BIG decision on my part. I took the day off today - his decision actually...just cause I've been working so hard! I think he's afraid that I'm goign to wear myself out or change my decision of working for him hahaha.
BUT needless to say I have a lot of decisions to make, AND in so little time!!! The incentive is great...since I'm making 20$ per hour already...he wants to give me a raise, AND annual leave, AND benefits, AND pay for my plane ticket to come back here to Australia after christmas...that was great. I mean going home for Christmas is important to me...and is something I needed to do (plus i have a return ticket - which would have just been literally a waste of $ if i didn't use it). SO now i have a lot of thinking to do. AND for those who know me...Decision making is not really my forte. eek. There are pros (mentioned above) and cons (being away from my family and friends)
SO anyways...wish me luck with that one.
ack!
AND I'm 23!!!!! haha I have to comment to my AMAZING family - I LOVE YOU!! you guys are SO great. My family called me at work on thursday here...and after I gave my normal "thank you for calling the brunswick dental group, this is tara" speech lol they all started screaming the song happy birthday!! HEHEHE EVERYONE (gram, mom, kel, uncle bill, aunt crystal, kier, bryce, tessa, aunt nancy, uncle brock...etc etc) were ALL at my house!! My mom had bought a cake and ice cream and candles and threw a huge party in my honour. Apparently Kier even dressed up in his suit! HOW freaking cute!! Tessa is talking a lot more! And she LOVES talking on the phone - she is getting SO big. So the "hi tara" and the "i wove yuuuu"s on the phone are just melting me! AH she was a baby when i left home!!! So adorable. Anyways. I took some time and hid in the staff room and talked to my whole family. Each of them in their own lil' way saying hello, i love you and happy birthday! After a while i realized I needed to get back to work...and they all decided to eat the yummy cake lol. THEN my Dad called me. He was golfing while they were having my party hahaha go figure! and i talked to him for a while!! AND THEN JEN called me!!!! I've been best friends with that girl since I was 4 do you know what that means! She's an awesome friend and it meant SO much to me that she called me that I was almost crying at the desk. :) I love you girl!!! My aunt crystal and uncle bill sent me a BEAUTIFUL huge scrap book (made by my aunt) of ALL the events and holidays and birthdays that have happened throughout the year up to now...and UGH i balled through the whole thing it was beautiful! Cely sent me a very special sentimental gift! awwww! My sister sent me a moose *stuffed animal*, a bracelet from a store we always go to in the states when we go camping, AND a beautiful letter. My aunt nancy sent me a very canadian package hehehe and a stuffed animal that was supposed to have a message inside but it was missing once i finally got my hands on it - boo!!! hehe i could go on and on with my gifts but i won't. :) It meant so much to me that people acknowledged my birthday...and was celebrating it with me despite being on the other side of the world! YOU GUYS MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!
