December

Hey everyone, so it's December at last and I'm so excited for the upcoming holiday! So I thought I would give you an update on the few events I mentioned in my last post: Well Saturday night in Bristol was not as great as we all thought but we did it for Manuel's 20Th birthday. The club was very dirty I mean come on can't someone clean it once in a while?! my shoes were sticking to the floor and a very drunk girl ran into me spilling my newlly purchased drink all over me costing me £3 and my new top!! By the end of night I was sticky and tired but happy because I was with all my friends laughing and goofing around.
Then Sunday (Manuels actual birthday) Sabine and I made a great cake for him and blew up about 40 balloons! It was a very fun day, but we were a bit down without Shamick there, it just was not the same with out his smiling face and him telling us that he "likes our wrinkles".The house is very quiet without him and it really feels like there is this empty feeling sometimes. Back to Sunday....great day, laughter, food and loads of funny pictures..the best!
Manule covered in balloons!

The cake!

Jana and Sabine:

Ok so also on Saturday we spent the whole day scrubbing every inch of the house for the inspection that is currently happening!!! Ive been so nervous all week and thank god I had today off! So far it's gone well, I think that Park Lodge is the cleanest and most put together out of all the houses, we do a very good job, I mean I clean the boys bathroom everyday!!! I'll let everyone know when we get the report back from the inspectors, but all should be ok... I think!
Today I had another nice day off, I lied in had a nice breakfast and did a bit of Christmas shopping! also today was Nicholas, so last night we all put our shoes out and this morning Bella was up very early and almost ate all of our treats but thanks to Sabine, who was there a bit early as well it didn't happen. It was so sweet just like at home with chocolate and nuts and an orange, made me miss my mum and brother very much, Noah and Mason you should let me know what you got this morning!
I can't believe it's only 8 days till holiday, till we move and till I got to Norway...Seems like these past 5 weeks went by so quickly. I hope everything works out well when we come back and have to move to Tyndale, I'm not very excited at the moment and my room is such a tip because all I'm thinking is I have to pack it all up anyway!
Other that being down about Shamick and moving everything here is great, I'm so happy working here, it may not always be easy but it's so worth it!
I would like so give many thanks and big hugs and kisses to the Portland Gilespies and Grammy for my wonderful Christmas package!! I was so surprised when I got it, it really made my day, it was really was so nice of you all! Love to all of you and expect Christmas cards soon :)
Well I got to go, but thought I would also share some new photo's, there from Swimming with class 7:

Daniel and Kathryn...so sweet!
