.holidays.

this post will be the longest post ever.
i can already feel it :D
my exams are finally over. im on holidays.
thank goodness and now i have all the time in the world
to write on here!! :) well... most of the time, when im not
catching up on sleep or seeing my amazing friends.
sooo much has happened since my last post. 
i have not been proposed to and i am not engaged, it always seems
to be the reason these days. which is amazing for those that are.
but i am unfortunately not one of those lucky ones INSTEAD...
the past two weeks have consisted of my room/bed looking like this;

of course it wasnt always this neat but you can understand my stress.

4 exams all in one week was a big effort but im so glad its over.

during swot vac i also got to spend time with my Lyell Mac girls

and our amazing hospital mum (tutor) <3

one the the girls brought in her little boy, so we got to have cuddles and

'aww' at the cutest sad face that he pulls, as we learnt about drains, tubes,

and somehow drilling into our heads arterial blood gases with the reasons

behind why it was acid or base, respiratory or metabolic.

safe to say we brought lots of sugary treats to keep our minds 'alert'

and of course had lunch afterwards as our reward for a hard days work :)

.my nerdy outfit for the day.

(secretly you know there would be a photo :D)

.the amazing violet crumble slice miss nichole made... 

i may have had 4 pieces :S.

.myself and the amazing miss meagan,

she is gorgeous inside and out.

.nichole having cuddles with the main man.

.cuuuute.

.being the best aunties...ever. :)

.making up for the teasing of his bottom lip bandit-ness

earlier in the day by feeding and putting to sleep

the little man :D.

i swear chloe is amazing. to still do our course and look

after this little bundle of joy is incredible.

she is an amazing mum and will be an amazing nurse. :)

i am so lucky to be apart of such an awesome support group of 

those girls. i dont think anyone else in our course really has

the incredible strength and tutor that we do at the Lyell Mac.

i truly appreciate each and every girl/soon to be nurse

i have become so close to them all. they feel like sister to me.

we are so close that we even decided to set another study day during 

that week and lock ourselves away in the adelaide university med students

computer room at the hospital :) the cleverness of us.

it included a little late night brownie baking the night before. <3

.i am so proud of these, first try and they tasted awesome.

.meagan and i procrastinating during our study day. :)

.we love our socks.

so i am proud to say that i survived my week of exams.

although i do have all my results back yet, im super

happy that i got a distinction (75-84%) for my practical

exam. :D when i was sure i failed because i forgot to

mention kinks in a drainage tube. the silly things i worry about.

so now its just fingers crossed that i dont have to sit

a supp. exam the week before we go back.

i think one thing that helped me was the cheeky full body

massage i received as a birthday present this year from my

two amazing aunites and decided to use during my swotvac week.

.greatly appreciated!.

.this was the table inside the beauty therapy room.

.a glass of water and home-made biscuit.

.amazing.

sarah the lovely lady that did my massage does so from her home.

the front room has huge comfy couches and has such a relaxing vibe.

she was so professional and lovely. the whole experience was amazing.

ive never had a full body massage before and i must say it was to die for.

she made my whole body feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

i am most definitely going back to see her again! 

if you are interested at all and you live north of the city i suggest you

look her up and experience your own little hour of paradise. :)

(www.delovelysoycandles.com.au)

she has an amazing range of soy candles and is in the process of

editing and revamping her page but contact her through that website.

during the uni semester i had two pieces of paper on the back

of my door reminding me of important due dates of assignments.

the back of my door when from this;

to this....

oh and how i am excited to try and do all of those in

4 weeks! :)

i had forgotten to ad one very important thing to this list

and that is to look after my very sore, sad and puffy puppy dog.

about a week ago i noticed a little lump on her left cheek.

she went to the vet on tuesday and they said to keep an eye on it.

if anything changed to make another appointment.

well i came home from my last exam on friday to see my puppy

looking like this ...

:( my darling.

she was off to the vet that night, started on antibiotics and booked

for another appointment the following day. on saturday morning i

honestly thought with the antibiotics, that although it wouldnt have

shrunk it could not have got any bigger...

.she was the saddest puppy dog on saturday.

.ripley is a half staffordshire terrier and

half bull terrier. by the looks of this she

was trying to look more like a bull terrier.

.i love her with all my heart,

my bestfriend.

she was so sore that i was spoon feeding her tin

spaghetti, something soft enough because she couldnt

chew from the pain. i swear that the yelp that comes from

your dog when she is hurting is a sound that breaks your heart.

today the swelling has gone down and she can just see out of

her eye again. thanks to two loads of antibiotics.

the plan is to get the swelling and infection down enough as

tomorrow she is back again for xrays and an operation to 

remove her tooth that could be causing the problem.

a tooth root abscess. :(

i am terrified. she is my world. i got her at 9weeks old from

the animal welfare league. i fell in love with her at first sight.

.she may be older with a few grey hairs now,

but she will always be this lanky little thing

in my mind and my heart. 

she something still acts like she did at this age.

<3

it is so good to be have my internet back again.

after possibly being hacked and going over our limit

half way through the month, my mother has upped

our internet data to 50G!! hells yes!

im super excited!! because that means i have all the time

in the world to look at baby shower ideas for my gorgeous

miss emily. im so honoured to be able to help her organise

her baby shower!! it is going to be amazing! :)

so this week i will get to spend 

monday at the vet, then browsing the internet for ideas.

tuesday. i am spending with the one and only emily.

wednesday is undecided and will end at dance class :)

thursday night is my cousins play which i am attending.

friday night the amazing boys of my catalyst are playing

their first all ages gig basement show in a long time, which

i wouldnt/havent missed for the world since they started 

(only for my 21st... :P)

and the weekend i am unsure of, i need to check my diary but

im too comfy to move from my bed, so that shall be a surprise

later in the week.

:D

thats all for me tonight! over and out!

enjoy your week :)

love always, Skye x

.realise.

life is way to short to be holding back and not taking that one faithful leap.

<3

live with no regrets,

smile every chance you get,

fall in love, 

let go of grudges,

be scared,

be strong,

stop smoking,

laugh until you cry,

wake up early to watch the sun rise,

and watch it set that same day,

be spontaneous,

eat your dessert first,

dance in the rain,

take lots of photos,

be silly sometimes,

take chances,

take road trips with friends,

spent time with your family,

be brave,

never go to sleep on a fight,

forgive,

be happy,

be you!

realise what you have before its too late!

<3

you only get one chance at this life.

you are the one in control of it.

make it count.

<3

i just wish i could make you see it through my eyes, 

just for one day!

love always, Skye x

.part two; come what may.

.

'Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before

I want to vanish inside your kiss

Every day i'm loving you more than this

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change, winter to spring

But I love you, until the end of time'

- come what may. 

.

probably my most favourite song,

if someone was to sing this to me... wow :)

there is nothing like a love movie like Moulin Rouge

to put a bit of love back in your heart and get you

day dreaming about boys again.

i spent the night with my two amazing aunties, my sister,

my littlest cousin and another cousins gorgeous girlfriend.

we ate pizza, watched movies, enjoyed profiterole cake 

and played an exciting game of pictionary.

my cousin Jordan and i used to be the team to beat

and last night, we got beaten... it had been a few

years since we played. so i blame it on being a bit rusty. :)

but back to the topic of lurve...

i must say i not sure if im a hopeless romantic or a realist.

i think i fluctuate between the two.

im not one to live my life on the thought of love,

even though this movie definitely makes me wish i could.

but then im not totally against the idea of love either,

even though thats what i would prefer people to think.

i think im still determining if its real or the imagination of our heart.

and does love really conquer all?

im waiting for that one person to stand before me and prove me 

wrong about everything thing i have ever thought about love.

sometimes i think ive met him.

i spend time thinking about a life with him

and a life without him

i would without a doubt chose option one.

and it scares me some times when i think that way.

ive never been one to put all my hopes into one thing.

i dont imagine up a world that isnt there, that someone feels

more towards me than what they do.

i think thats the realist in me.

but then letting go that little bit and giving in to

something that i can see, that i can feel.

that's my hopeless romantic side trying to break free.

maybe one day it will happen to me.

and maybe it wont. until then...

i shall continue to watch these movies, immerse

myself in their love tales and continue to write my own story.

me, myself and i.

and no matter what anyone else thinks or says,

i think nicole kidman is amazing. :)

love always, Skye x

.part one; sunshine fun.

i wanted to come home and update how amazing my sunday was,
but i was so tired and needed some beauty sleep for today.
getting your geek on for exams is hard work, i will be so glad
when its over :)


i went to the Robin Hood Hotel on Portrush Road for a farewell lunch
for my uncle as he is going back to New Zealand very soon.
my sister and i decided it would be nice to have a wander down the
Parade before heading to lunch, so we took mum along for the ride :)

.my sister has the widest full length mirror,

hence why all my outfit shots are here. :)

.one of my favourite shops on the Parade.

.books. <3 . cooks books. :D .

.mum enjoying the sale.

.very very cute cupcake shop.

.very yummy but no purchases on this day.

It is always good to see dad's side of the family.
we dont get to see them all the often so i enjoy any time
i have with them.
and as always at events like this, it always ALWAYS ended up 
in a fight.
not a verbal fight, a physical fight.
it normally starts between my sister Krystal and our in-law cousin Nigel.
Uncle Jos likes to join in and ill have some in put too.
this one ended with sugar everywhere, yes our fights are always food fights.
however its normally with condiments because we are considerate of each
others clothing and the venue. (how we still allowed at certain places amazes me)
.
i still remember one fight at auntie rose and uncle jos' house at christmas time.
it started between Krystal and Nigel as always. ammo of choice... peanuts.
lucky we were outside because they were everywhere! they even left little oil stains
on the pavers.. whoops.
auntie rose would sit there and tell us off... then out the middle of no where
you would get a peanut in the head and it was coming from her direction.
she was always so sneaky and her 'it wasnt me' face was so funny.
that is one of my most favourite memories of her. <3
.
i didnt get any photos of the sugar fight however because i was too busy shielding
myself from sugar. :) but here are some of the happy snaps i gathered through out
the day;

.i didnt capture it very well which was disappointing,

but the sun was shinning through the tree and the

contrast with the red brick was lovely.

.my sister and the gorgeous little Jack.

.the first grand-child on my dads side.

.the very happy grand-father and my uncle.

.since his brain aneurysm he has so much more 

personality, which has been a positive. :)

.a food shot is always a must.

.and you cant go past a chicken parmy.

:)

.i love this photo purely because i know 

once my cousin (Jack's mother) sees it 

she is going to kill me. :)

.Jack Oliver Chapman.

.He is perfection.

.he is precious.

.he is a sweet little angel. <3

.i am so proud of my cousins for creating such

an adorable little boy.

get ready for part two :)

love always, Skye x
