Blog All About It

"I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -Robert Frost

It is with great excitement that I am blogging all about the next adventure I'm going to be taking...I am moving to Australia!!

This blog is for myself, my family, and my friends. It's a great way for me to practice my writing, to stay in touch, and to keep a kind of record of my life in Australia.

Exactly one week from today I will be hopping onto a plane with a one way ticket taking me to Perth, Australia. It's random, I know, and this blog is my best way of chronicling and explaining how very exciting this move is...

I am going to be attending the University of Western Australia in order to get my Master's degree in Communication. My friends Sarah Marek and John Hackett will both be going to school with me, and my friend Sara Clapham is coming over from New Zealand to live with us as well. I'm sure those three will be referenced over and over again in my blog, so just know that they are all people that i LOVE and am so excited to live with them!

Sometimes it's funny how things work out, but I know that this move is something that is meant for me. Everything has fallen into place just right and come together perfectly. I am so fortunate and thankful for everything and everyone in my life, and I can't wait to start my journey!
