7th August 2010

11 Days till my lil sister's birthday. The only one beside's my own that I am not home for!

But no matter what I should be home in 140 days at least!!!

Ok so after not to greater week (just been me and the parents home.) nice and cruisy sure. But the reasons why I am staying finland were not here. Today it was me all day - I thought it would be the whole day till tomorrow afternoon or night. Then at 7pm I hear voice's then "Josie. Josie, where are you?" and in comes Julia all excitied and gives me a huge hug! Made my week.

So pretty much my week has been boring -particuarly compared to the last 3 weeks.

Love hearing the loudness of the kids again - though they will drive me crazy again soon!

Been waching heaps of NCIS
