HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRITTNI

Look at all of these wonderful presents I got!! My birthday cake was these waffel things filled with ice cream and chocolate....mmm they were sooooo good! I got a wonderful card and the coolest outfit from Tandri (the blue one im wearing in the picture). My mom sent flowers all the way from Canada to me! hehe. Being away for my birthday was hard, as I missed spending the day with my family and friends! Tandri kept me busy all day though doing fun stuff! We woke up early and had some cake and opened presents then we got to call home and talk to my family and tandris. First surprise we headed off to a town nearby called Broadbeach and shopped and had a nice pizza lunch! I swear it was like +50 degrees! We came back to the apartment to change then headed out to surprise number two- a massage!! One thing I learned was to never underestimate the power and strength of a little chinese women. Yikes we had the hardest massages of our lives! hehe But we certainly felt a lot better this morning. I guess working all the time standing up has taken a toll on our backs. After that we came home to have a swim to cool off. Tandri had told me he was going to make me supper and that we had one more quick activity to do before he started. I was so curious to what we could do that was so quickly- he said this was the best one. So we hopped on a bus and came off about ten minutes up the road. I had to keep my eyes closed and then opened them to one of the nicest hotels on the gold coast "The Mariot". I knew exactly what we were doing and I was sooooo excited! We had talked about going out for supper to the hotels restaurant as they had the best cuisine where the chinese guys cooks it in front of you! It was one of the most entertaining thing I have watched. He did tricks with his tools and threw stuff in his hat, he even had us catching prawns in our mouthes! hehe. It was such good food too, I had the chicken and steak and Tandri had the steak and king prawns. We were so full after we had to come home and relax!

It was so exciting hearing from everyone at home- thank you so much to all my friends and family who remembered it was my birthday and took the time to email me! It meant so much! We both had to work the next day so we went to bed and woke up early to head off to work. It was another scorching hot day today too. We havent been up to too much just working still and enjoying this hot weather. We are starting a countdown until we go on the cruise! Only 17 more days.....thats also how long it is until my sister goes to New York City! I think my mom is going to go crazy with me in Australia and Becky in New York! hehe. We have had fun getting ready to go and planning out everything! I cant believe it is already march! We have officially been here a month and a half already- only three more monthes to go. Im signing off as a "19" year old now...hehe. What a fun day we had.....i think I have one of the best boyfriends! agree?!
