OMG the last few weeks have just been pure grace.

To start off, my whole family was here for a full two weeks, and for the first time I actually had the whole two weeks off work to take them around. It was great being on holidays, but it was fantastic going fishing, BBQing, dining out, staying in, and generally frolicking about as a family. It's something that probably won't happen again as often in the future when I'm in the Americas and my bro stays in Australia and my sister is in Indonesia- it'd be a little bit tougher to get everyone together, but when it does happen again, it'll be every bit as sweet as the holiday I just had. I love my family.

Then, mere days after they left, my team won the finals of the Diamond Valley badminton Fall season. We fought hard to get to the finals as #2 in the ladder, but we fully realised that the #1 team is hella tough to beat. We gave it our all, and we came out the victors, even after losing the first 3 games! The victory was so much sweeter because of that. I had an amazing team for my only season there, and it was terrific to be able to walk away with the winner's trophy.

Today, I had lunch with a dear friend of mine. We looked around Swarovski after lunch, and I was admiring this gorgeous necklace, while my friend was wanting to get the matching bracelet. She ended up getting the pair, but I wanted to think about getting the necklace myself. Dear Friend paid up, then handed me a Swarovski bag - with the necklace in it. #()*#%@! So much love! I couldn't believe it. I'm beyond grateful.

There have been other little things happening, but it's come to a point where right now, I feel so loved <3 And lucky <3 <3 And sad to be leaving Melbourne in a month..
