happy birthday jessie mee...

my lovely friend jessie mee, half way around the world, happy birthday!

for those of you who dont know jess, i pity you, get to know her via her blog http://jessinengland.blogspot.com

for those of you who know jess and are yet to wish her a happy birthday i suggest you head to her bebo, facebook or myspace quick smart and do so!

for those of you who want to date jess i will accept applications via comments on here.

for those of you who would like to win jess' heart/be sweet friends with her, you could start with buying her a coffee or an ice cream.




things i like about jess
#1. her ability to make me giggle for hours.
#2. late night chats about paarchute every summer.
#3. jess sees the value in coffee dates for any reason at all.
#4. her astounding sense of style yeeow. seriously though, shes amazing, have you seen her?
#5. that she converted me to diet coke and now im somewhat addicted, she also re-kindled my love for original flavour fantastic rice crackers.
#6. she is incredibly loving and always goes out of her way to make people feel at ease.
#7. she came over to my house and made me breakfast once, i really enjoyed that (she even bought feijoa juice with her which is my fave)
#8. i so admire the way she can make smalltalk with anyone and everyone who crosses her path, and she doesn't even sound like a dick when she does it!
#9. she sends me lovely txts from england which often become the highlight of my day.
#10. she can play the drums, and i really do admire this haha.
#11. her room is beautiful, i know this sounds weird but i really like nice bedrooms.
#12. we have wars about whos brownie is better, since it is her birthday i will pretend that hers are (this is obviously untrue)
#13. she is very creative, true story.
#14. she is an adventure mastermind... i miss going on adventures with her.
#15. she enjoys eating fruit possibly more then i do.
#16. once upon a time we had a leaders camp in waihi and there was a storm, we were convinced that our tent was going to fly away carrying us with it so we slept in her car and woke up to our tent being packed up and people staring at us, this isn't really a quality she has but i enjoyed this time.
#17. she left her comfort zone, flew to the otherside of the world and is serving Jesus and blessing everyone she meets, i think thats pretty big!
#18. she can parallel park, i cant, gutted.
#19. she ran a half marathon, i was totally impressed.

i love you lots jess, il try send your package next week, it will have maximum fun in it then, happy birthday!

sleepovers and cups of tea

hello friendlies.

last night at church we had the world vision girls night out, i was helping with hosting and it was pretty hilarious, julia grace and petra bagust are two very funny ladies! after it finished i had a sleepover with my lifegroup girls and beka, it was nuts. there was movies, and laughter, and mi goreng at 1am. aswel as pushing people in the pool, photos, singing and playing on the gym equipment, i love my girls!

now i am sitting and drinking a cup of tea while i wait for beka to arrive.
or camp rock to come on, whichever comes first! except i think i'll pop out to get some more batteries for my camera first since a bunch of people are visiting me tonight to watch movies (my parents ran away from new zealand AGAIN, in aussie for the weekend) and tomorrow night after church we are hopefully! going to raglan for a bonfire, the weather doesn't look that promising though, so there may need to be a back up plan.

(our last bonfire in raglan when jess was still here, although im pretty sure shes taking the picture)

i put lots more photos on my walls yesterday afternoon when i left work early with the flu/some dumb sickness. im basically sweet now though.

oh! i also went out for breakfast with laura yesterday morning, perfect!

i really miss jess! jess, i miss you! i need more credit for my phones and things.

that is all for now, a little boring but ahh well. x
