Romania Time.

Wow! So I'm leaving for Romania at 4 tomorrow morning! How very exciting!
I've been at this camp here at the Lodge all week, getting ready for the outreach and getting to know the team that's coming. There are fourteen of us - 13 girls and 1 boy. haha, I feel bad for Anthony, but at the same time, it'll be awesome anyway.
We'll be in Romania for about 2 weeks - until the tenth of August.
I've been packing like mad all day, and I still have more things to do tonight before I go to bed. So, I should probably get going now so I don't end up having too late a night. I'll give a longer and (hopefully) more interesting update in about 2 weeks when I get back from the ania of Rom. See you all later!! x-Abbey

My Greatest Weakness...

A quick look at my newest mushrooms :-) Oh the excitement.

I generally dislike these little mobile phone charms, they're kinda tacky and they just get in the way. But I saw this one in Accessorize today, 50% off... What was I supposed to do?? It's an adorable little mushroom for goodness sakes!! I have no self control when it comes to toadstools. Ah me.



I LOVE this felt mushroom ornament, that I got from my beautiful, adorable fantastic sister Kaeli for Christmas :-). It makes me very, very happy.


My parents got me these beautiful hand carved mushrooms for my birthday last week! How well they know me. I definitely squealed a lot when I unwrapped them!


Ah! So cute!!

10 More Hours of Seventeen!

ONE MORE DAY OF BEING 17. Wow, this has been a mad year! I can't believe its almost over! This year I've been in England, Egypt, America, Spain, and Portugal. Crazy times! Also this year, I've made some of the best friends ever. It's been one of the craziest years of my life so far. Here is some photographic evidence of my seventeenth year! :-)


About a month after my seventeenth birfday, I got to go to Egypt with a team from the Lodge here. It was sooo amazing!

I've made a lot of lifelong friends this year. I love them to bits!

Getting to go home last summer was so wonderful. It was beautiful to see my town, family and friends.

Being with my siblings is the best!

I got to see my very best friend in the world during my 17th year - so It's been perfect!

We had crazy fun together!!

One of the very best things about this year has been getting to know my lovelies here at the Lodge! They are beyond fantastically amazing.

Earlier this year we had the best time ever in Spain :-) They had yummy cake there.

Hello!

The tea has been in abundance this year... it has been a year FULL of Jasmine and Earl Grey. Good times :-)

I've had a lot of fun getting to know myself this year... it's been... colourful :-)

I've had so very much fun with my family this year :-)

17 has been an emotional but vital year in my life. It's a crazy, spirited, expressive, tough, fantastic year. Wow. Over.

creativity makes my life worthwhile. Well, that and other things :-) Like God. Just sayin'.

this year has been.. colourful :-)

The final few hours of being 17 years old... surreal. To the max.



I am very excited for 18, and I'm sure it will be an amazing year as well. Thank you all for being the best friends ever for me this year! Wow, only 10 more hours... Madness!
