Officially finished

Officially my time ran out for this little adventure last Friday.

I have a few more completed goals to update and then I'll do a final write up.

It'll be interesting to see how many I ended up completing...

#53 - SURPRISE!!

Late last year I was asked to help plan a surprise party for my Sister-in-Law Amy.

You see she is a Leap Year baby. 

As this year was a leap year my brother wanted to do something special on her actual birthday.

*Note* Surprise parties are much harder to plan than they seem -_-

It was hard to try and organise things without Amy getting suspicious. A major downfall was that her phone hasn't been working for ages and so she uses my brothers a fair bit too.

I have become good at sending texts that get me the info I need without giving away anything.

Unfortunately Amy did happen to answer the call about the hall booking and saw a text from my other brother in regards to a cake (his wife is awesome at cake decorating!).

I also learnt that working with a whole range of different people, Amy's family, Amy's friends, people I am friends with that are friend's with Amy, to get something together is REALLY hard!

All different sorts of personalities. But it was good for me to learn.

The end result was what was important and it seemed to be a success! :D

Amy enjoyed herself and got to see some people she hadn't in a long time.

Now for a little visual aid:

Amy finally turned 6! Such a big girl now :D

My other SIL Jay made the cake

Brother and SIL...so sweet

Isaiah 

LOTR re-enactment 

Ness and Emily

Goal completed: 29th February 2012

#66 Lady Liberty

Ever since I saw the Statue of Liberty MnM dispenser at Kat's house I have wanted one. 

I even named it Lady Liberty...and the name has stuck :D

I tried to buy one on the internet...but I was having trouble doing it, being in Australia and all. I was going to have to call up and the time difference makes that difficult most times.

Thankfully my friend Kat went to the states and being the best friend that she is she bought me one :D

I am yet to name my own...

Now I just need to get some more MnM's!

Goal completed: October 2011

#4 Japan....an amazing adventure

I wasn't sure if I would get this one marked off in time.

Thankfully I was able to go and get 2 units towards my degree! BONUS! :D

Japan was an amazing adventure.

I've learnt a lot...not just about the language but about myself.

This goal was completed: The day I arrived in Japan!! :D

10th November 2001

#21 Called...and it's done

Calling my parents every week definitely wasn't a chore, but an excuse to call them regularly and keep in contact.

I even made a little table that was stuck to the back of my door so I would remember to do it.

52 weeks, of definitely more than 52 phone calls :D

What can I say?? I love my family and love hearing from them!

Goal completed: 16th October 2011

A little change to #48

I've had to slightly change the amount of rice to donate on freerice.com

101 million was just way too many!

Doing the calculations I would need to do it for way too long each day.

So i have downsized to 101 thousand instead. 

Still going to be a lot but much more achievable 

#49 Plant a Tree

Or in my case, 5 of them...

Today the YSA from my stake had a service project to help out Coast Care. 

Some of us planted trees while others moved rocks to pave a path.

I worked with Libby most of the day and we decided (ok, it was pretty much me that decided) that we should name each of them.

They were:

- George

- Alfie

-Phil & Lil...the twins :D and 

- Jaffer

Oh and  did I mention that the weather was pretty crappy and I spent a good deal of the day wet??

Service is so fun huh :D 

Completed 1st October 2011
