WILCOX'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what?!?!?!?!? My family came to visit me this week!!!!! (almost all my family... my brother had to stay behind to go to uni...) We had the best week together :) I loved every moment and was so thankful they were able to come and visit me and see my life here! Meet all my friends and see my school and my church and everything that I've been doing for the last 4 months!

When they arrived on Tuesday it was snowing! Really heavily too... Sophie loved it :) We Skyped Hayden and were a whole family for a bit!...sorta... technology's great hey?!

We went to Yellowstone National Park on Thursday afternoon and stayed at an RV park just outside Yellowstone for 2 nights and explored Yellowstone. It was amazing and so beautiful and there was so much wildlife! And snow!! We figured out Sophie goes crazy in the snow ;P It was fun :)

We saw bison... 

...millions of bison!

And 3 moose!!! Mum was so excited :) it was pretty awesome!

Sophie loved the snow so so so so much! It was quite funny. Any patch of snow we went past she had to walk in and play in! She so cute :D 

The rest of the week was spent meeting up with all my friends and introducing everyone to my family! It was so lovely :)
We had dinner with Sarah Anne (who I went to Canada with) and her boyfriend one night.

I took my family to church on Sunday morning and then again on Sunday night for an Easter music concert which was AMAZING!!! There was a massive choir and they sang some amazing songs :) Afterwards we talked and laughed and joked around with Hilary (another of the girls I went to Canada with) and her fiancé Robert (whose car we took to Canada!) They were such fun :)

On Monday we had frozen yoghurt for lunch with my 3 best friends here in America :) From the left... Alyssa, me, Abby and Amanda. The 4 A's!!! We often have dinner together and go to Bible study and CrossLife together :) such beautiful Christian girls! 

And then on Monday night we had dinner with Lyndsay's Bozeman family!! (Lyndsay came to Bozeman 2 years ago and did an exchange just like me) From the left... Jay, Chad, Diane, me, Jenna and Nick! More super lovely people who made for a very fun night :) 

And then they left this morning (Tuesday). I'm so so thankful they could come though. And so glad they could meet my friends and see my life here and see where I live! Now I only have a week and a half left of school! :( kinda sad. But it'll be nice to just hang out and travel around about the place :)

Here are some photos of us, just in case you forgot, from our week :) 

The RV had a dog on the window... called Welly. He was pretty cool :)

Love you all! And happy belated Easter :) 

Life :)

Hello loverly people!

I feel like I haven't posted anything here for ages!! I figured out the other day that I am just over half way through my America adventure!!! It was exactly halfway on the 3 April!!!! Crazy stuff! :D I don't feel I have much to tell ya'll about... I have been super busy with homework this last week and the other week I did something social every night of the week!! I had dinner and a movie with friends, Bible study x3, international dinner (where I cooked Aussie dessert!), more movie and dinner with other friends, and dinner with a whole bunch of college students at a super lovely families house!! (they have 4 daughters and reminded me so much of my beautiful Taylor girls!)

Here are the beautiful lamingtons I made for our international dinner :)

And the not so fabulous pavlova I tried to make :P

In other news... I bought this amazing crocheted headband :)

...and a proper cowgirl shirt :) I feel I now fit in here in Bozeman

And another thing is that MY PARENTS AND SISTER ARE IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not that excited... really :P They are flying into Las Vegas and motorhoming all the way up to Canada with a week-long stop here in Bozeman!!!!! :D I am so so so excited!!! Here's a photo of them at the airport with Hayden... he couldn't come because he has uni :P so dodgy! Aren't they are beautiful bunch?!?!

Also this is my favourite photo at the moment :) Sophie's cyber hug! I am seriously looking forward to a real one super soon!!!!!!!
