Health:
- First off, my stomach has been much better!! I still suffer some intolerances to gluten and lactose but can eat some gluten in very small amounts
- I haven't gone back to any of the sports I did prior to becoming ill but I did join my school tennis team last year which was fun
- I also got a gym membership in about October last year and was going to the gym at least twice a week until I badly hurt my ankle just before christmas
School:
- Year 10 was hard and challenging but I enjoyed almost every second of it. Of course there were some friend dramas, late nights due to assignments and study and many tears but I'm over the moon with my report and can truly say the hard work payed off!!
Travel:
- Last year I went on 3 overseas holidays, 1 in April to Japan for 2 weeks with my family which was loads of fun!! I saw, touched and experienced snow for the first time, went sledding and skiing which was definitely an experience;) We also did a lot of shopping which I love and eat some amazing food!!
- I also went to the US in September on a school trip which was unforgettable!! To begin with we went to Orlando, Florida where we did some AMAZING outlet shopping, went to Disney World, Universal Studios, NASA, the Kennedy Space Centre and we also took a trip to the everglades and to Daytona Beach!! We then travelled to Washington DC where we did a fair bit of sight seeing, went to most of the memorials and a few of the Smithsonian Museums!!
- The trip was totally amazing and although I was sad to come home I was definitely happy to see my family again!! I would have to say that DC was my favourite and I just can't believe how absolutely gorgeous it is
- In June/July I went camping for 1 week with my two best Friends, E and L which was one of the best weeks of my life!!
- My family and I also went on a Royal Caribbean cruise in December around New Zealand which was also quite nice
- This year I'm super excited to be going to Cambodia with my school in June/July. We will be working in an orphanage and doing an array of ministry work which I am honestly really looking forward to!!
- I'm also hoping that we go to NY as a family in either April or September this year as I can't get enough of the USA!! Everything over there is just 500 times better than what we have here
Christmas/Summer Holidays:
- I have been enjoying these holidays sooooo much and have done quite a few things
- The first weekend of the holidays, my two besties and I went to a classmates dance concert and then had a sleepover at my house

- On christmas day my brother and I opened our presents from Santa (AKA our parents) I asked for and received Mac and Napoleon makeup which I was super excited about and my broth got a go pro camera. My mothers family came over for breakfast which consisted of croissants, muffins, yoghurt parfaits and bacon and eggs. We ate and then opened presents and chatted and relaxed until just after midday. Everyone left and we then headed over to my aunts to celebrate christmas with my dads family. We had a few nibbles, opened more presents and then enjoyed a late lunch/early dinner. We stayed chatted, ate and just had a great time fore the rest of the afternoon and came home that night. It was a lovely day and I am so happy all of my family live close
- Between christmas and new year, we relaxed and I caught up with my two besties again, we went shopping, we went to IKEA and we also went to the beach which was enjoyable
