I had to send mom and dad home today and not by choice.  It had been far to long since I have seen my two favorite people live and in person.  It was a soggy goodbye at Bondi Junction this morning and I keep thinking no way have they come and now have already left me down under. IT JUST CAN'T BE TRUE. For the sake of not sitting here and crying because I already miss them here are some pictures and stories of that time Lisa and Mark flew across the world to find their long lost daughter.

and the Skipper doing her job

Right under their APT was a cafe that was named after me even though my dad kept saying it was named after him.  We would get our Skinny Fat Whites, whoops I mean our Skinny FLAT Whites. This is where mom and dad tried Vegemite and butter on toast and LIKED it! NASTY! Have you ever had that stuff?? It is not delicious, not even a little bit. 

Breakfast on Bondi

Brad you should have let my mother win! Good thing you already won her over!

Sexiest couple award goes too Lisa and Mark!!

We had the best time. I feel so lucky and blessed to have these two as my mom and dad. They have been nothing but supportive and excited for what I have been doing this past year.  I can not even describe how much it means to me that they took time out of their busy lives to come to Sydney.  There were tears, laughs, storytelling, some eye rolling, lots of hugs and no goodbyes only see you when we see you's.  I have missed you both so much and I don't even think your plane has taken off yet and I miss you again.  

There are tons of pictures that mom and dad took as they ran around Sydney.  I will put some more pictures up after the weekend. Brad is whisking me off  to Derby Days in Melbourne this afternoon.  LOTs more blogging to do but I had to show everyone some of the things we were up to this past week.
