hey!
Hey everyone, sorry it’s been so long since I’ve updated. School was fine this week. Nothing particularily exciting happened. Valentines Day was pretty fun, however because we made it into quite a big deal at school and at home. With 5 girls living in the house we ended up getting quite a large collection of roses by the end of the day which took up most of the kitchen counter. My mom’s bithday was yesterday and I called her up about 15 minutes after midnight (Michigan time) to wish her happy birthday and talk her ear off for a good half an hour.
Last night Bree, Lana, and I had a girls night out partly for something to do, and partly to celebrate my birthday. (We didn’t stay at the beach party the night before for very long.) We were all feeling quite spontaneous so after seeing the movie ‘Just Married’ we decided to go on this bunjee jumping thing together. It wasn’t actually bunjee jumping because they strapped all three of us into this ball thing and then launched us up into the sky while we spinned around in circles and screamed at the top of our lungs. It was really fun! 
Shortly after we got off it started pouring so we all let our hair down and ran around in the rain, up and down the city sidewalks of Cairns. We kept running into our friends from school as well. After going to a coffee cafe, we hopped a bus and went back to Bree’s where we went swimming and acting like morons until the wee hours of the night.
Today we’re having a BBQ on the beach w/ family and friends for my birthday. It should be pretty cool since this is the first time my birthday has ever been during the summer. I’m not sure how much it will feel like my bday, though, when I’m running around on the beach in shorts and a bikini top… I’m sure I’ll love it though.
Well I’m going to go now. I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day and good week as well. Stay in touch and take care! Love ya all! -Jess
