So it was my birthday this Sunday just gone. I turned 20.
I was excited to turn 20. I had been looking forward to it. No longer a teenager. I remember when Luke turned 20 earlier in the year, and how in the lead up to my birthday, and all through my birthday day I was not suffering any of the same ‘now-i’m-old‘ attacks. Until that night, that is. It hit me bad. I think it’s because my life is changing so radically in the next few months, and it just sort of hit me. Luke was really supportive, and wasn’t angry when I woke him up crying, and then insisted that he come hug me to sleep. I love him so much.
I guess I’m ‘better’ today. I am looking forward to my new year, my new life- marriage, no more uni, a wedding, working, and moving. It’s going to be exciting, and I’m ready for it.
So Sunday was a beautiful day. After presents, and church in the morning we had an incredibly beautiful lunch out on the lawn- just my family (including Luke) and me. Beautiful. After lunch Luke and I went to Sapian Arts in Mooloolaba to spend the gift voucher I received (thanks mum!). Money well spent, it’s was all 25% off!
Nana and Luke’s family came over for afternoon tea, and we had two really yummy cakes. The pistachio and rose water one was my favourite, and I would love to have it as a wedding cake. 
Luke and I went out for coffee after dinner, again at Mooloolaba, and we started filming for the movie we’re going to make with my new video camera!!!
