I have heaps of projects to work on as you can see, quite a few are due this week but a few next week as well.

I did a couple of exciting things though, Watched Harry Potter Thursday night!!! SOOOOO fun, except that I had to get up early on Friday to do our Micro Theme Tour this was 40.8 km's for all you Americans that’s freakin 25.35 miles. Now this may seem like not to much, but after 20 km uphill let me tell you, it's hard, but it was 20.8 km downhill as well so that wasn't to bad. In 4.5 hours I was dead tired. I was dirty, tired, and hungry. After a shower, food, and nap I was bouncing off the walls! I had so much energy! I went to hang out in unit 14 and the English bloke Richard to tried to swallow the gold fish awhile back and I started playing little games like thumb war, flip the coin, the slap the hands game, and we leg wrestled, then we ninja fought. I won almost everything, except for leg wrestling. It was fun, then I decided to get to work and worked on projects forever!!! Then hung out with Rene and his friend from Germany, Jasmin who is here for 9 months traveling and working!
Saturday Rene, Jasmin and I went to Fremantle or Freo to shop and it was a good time. I had MEXICAN FOOD!!! It was super good for being in Australia! My knees hurt from the day before but we got around alright. It is like the Seattle Market, super cute with a bunch of Australian stuff. We were really tired when we got back and a little ornery so we all took a nap, then I watched, Jack and the beanstalk: the real movie, it is quite interesting. Then Worked on more projects, then watched "The Time Machine" dude, that is a sweet movie, I really liked it. It really makes you think about time and how small we really are but how the choices we make effect the future. I really had a hard think about it all.
Sunday I went to Stake Conference, the couple that bring me to church have 4 children 2 sons and 2 daughters and I have met 1 son and 1 daughter, well today I met their other son, Fraser, he is the man!!! We got on great from the start and he invited me to go over to his friends house for lunch, I met a bunch of people and hung out for a long time!! Then Fraser and his best friend Kim came over to my place and we were just talking. They are so hardcore, they run and bike and climb and just have a ball!! I'm so glad to finally meet people that like to do things I like to do. They invited me to go climbing with them on Friday as well!
Sofia and I are going biking tomorrow morning to Burns beach if it is nice. It better be. Well I haven't been sleeping well so I am going to try to get a good nights rest and work on all my projects tomorrow. I hope all is well wherever you are.
