Mixed Feelings

Today is my first shift back in the ambulance, and I must say it comes with mixed feelings. I am excited to see all my old friends again (you make very close friends when you are put in terrifying and devistating situations with someone day in day out). But I am very nervous about how I will handle things thrown my way. I have not entered an Ambulance since I saw mum being wheeled out of one covered in blood, when she had that horrible vein burst in her throat. So I just needed to tell everyone that in case you have to let the man in the white coat know why I wont stop staring into space, rocking in the corner....LOL Nah...She'll be right mate!

Well on to some great news! Benn and I have just signed a contract on a beautiful 34 acre block at Sandy Creek, about 10 kms from Kilcoy. It has no house, or fences, just a beautiful big dam and a massive mountain at the back. I love it! We will have to sell our beach house to gain this property, but I feel it is small price to pay for a dream. We are going to start learning about looking after cattle and what are the right breeds for the area (any help out there???)and hopefully make a bit of money on the side. I am already planning my massive veggie plantation, and fruit orchard. Anyone who knows me will also know that I will have every animal I can fit in a paddock. My horse is going to love it out there, as the block happens to be next door to Andi (she has also just signed a contact for 30 odd acres) and she is building a flood-lit rodeo style arena, and as her man in a bronc rider, it will also have shutes (Jesse has already said he want to ride one of our potty calves at first chance..mental note: dont tell mum, she may never let me leave)




I know it is delayed, but here is a photo of Jorja's birthday party. The girls had just had a shower after playing at the beach, and were all pulling funny faces. Hollie had heaps of fun hangin out with the big girls.



Well must go and get ready for work,
Love and country air
