It's been pretty hectic and I've been really tired this past month and a bit, so I haven't been blogging much, but there will be more now that January has hit!
So December 23rd was my birthday!
Unfortunately I was working a 6 hour shift that day, but later on I met up with Rachel and Collette from my youth group!
Rach got me a stuffed giraffe (named "Geoff" according to his tag) and Collette got me flowers, which was the first time I've ever received a live bouquet of flowers from someone!
We had some food and drinks at Max Brenner...
...Then I went home, had cake, and had dinner with my family at Epping Club, and they gave me all these random presents (plus money from my dad yay!):
The week before my birthday my lovely and super sweet colleague Annie also bought me stuff from The Body Shop! I was going to get these products anyway but she kept insisting she would pay for them, and it's cheaper for her anyway because she gets 50% off as a permanent worker. So anyway she bought these for me yaaaaaaay!
I also had the girls over the Saturday before my birthday. We had tacos and everything for dinner:
...And I was super happy with their presents (yes I did have a wishlist but still)!
(The graphic novel adaptation, but still cool)
We also exchanged Kris Kringle presents!
Pamela had me but the present didn't arrive on time so she gave me a souvenir from her days at The Gold Coast which she lost but then proceeded to randomly find again:
And then on Boxing Day she gave me my actual present!
It's a wrap around ring that says: "This too shall pass". It's one of my favourite sayings from an old tale/riddle/story that you can read about on Wiki
Yet again, my family gave me really weird Christmas presents as well:
I also did TWO kris kringle games this year with people from church, and from them I got a 2015 diary and a random cool book that has instructions on just about anything!
So that just about sums up my holiday presents.
Until next time guys.
