After the first 6 weeks at my job I finally got the phone call I had been waiting for. I would be getting transferred to a different store, working Monday-Friday, 11am-5pm.
6 weeks in at my new store and I have to keep telling myself that it will get better. Right now the store is under huge renovations. The floors have been ripped up, aisles closed, stock moved from one end of the store to the other. Departments closed for weeks, we have been without a bakery for 4 weeks now. Needless to say, it's just one big mess! First few weeks were all right, but now everyone is tired of dust, noise, and things moving. Seem everyone is on their last straw.
But on the good points, no more night work, no more trolleys, and no more Saturdays. And, once all the renovations are done, I will have a like new store to work in! :D

Easter- Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
Saturday we went down to Killalea state park for a picnic lunch and some fun. The day was just a slight bit chilly, but over all not to bad. Once you get in the sun it does warm you up pretty good. Most everyone played soccer and Frisbee, other then me since I had to work that night, and didn't want to wear myself out :p But I still got to get some sun and enjoy the beautiful day :)
Sunday started out good, we were up on time, all dressed up for church, even left on time! Have to remember me and Jeremy hate to be late to anything, so on time, does not mean we are always late, just later then we like to be ;) Got about 5 minutes from the church when Jeremy's phone went off, some number that was not saved and we didn't get to it in time. We get closer to church and I check my phone, missed call from Faith. I quickly call her back, to hear a very nervous/sobbing Faith on the other in of the phone. She had been in a car crash, not her fault, and both her and Luke were fine. But I could tell my the way she sounded she should not be driving. So we pulled into the church parking lot, told Jeremy's dad of what had happened and took off back towards home. The car was not that bad off, by looks anyway, but not the thing anyone wants to deal with on a holiday! All things said and done the car ended up a ride off, since it was not worth fixing. We had a wonderful day after that. All of Jeremy's family came over for dinner so we spent most of the evening enjoying the company.
Not much to write about as far as Monday goes, left the house about 10 that morning to help a friend move. Finished with that about 4 or so, then came back home and relaxed :)
Over all it was a very interesting weekend, thankfully me and Jeremy both had the Tuesday off as well. We went up to Sydney for some shopping.
I thought this looked very pretty :)

Driving up
How we spent most of our lunch, looking at facebook :p
Some of the best ice cream I have ever had! This was banana spilt :) yummy!
Now I didn't take any photos of the shopping "damage" but lets just say there was a lot of it! It was a very fun day and a nice way to end the long weekend :)
Easter-Good Friday
Better late then never right?
It seems around here whenever Easter rolls around it means a hiking trip, this year was no different. We decided to do the Mt. Keira ring track, which is about 15 minutes drive from where we live. Me and Jeremy had done part of the track sometime last year, and wanted to do the rest of it.

The long orange track would be the one. Should take 4 hours, and we would be walking 5.5km.
The 4 of us at the start, with lunch packed we headed off.
After about an 1 1/2 hours we stopped for lunch at the only table along the way.
Once finished it was back to walking. Seeing as we had a bit of a time crunch to finish the walk and head back home and get ready for church.
We got the the fork in the road where the yellow and orange track meet. Since me and Jeremy had done this before we went down the yellow track which would take us back down to the car.
Some of the photos taken at a look out.
What me and Jeremy forgot was....the fact that once you are on the yellow track, there is another fork in the road (you see where this nice walk in heading right?) We took what was clearly the wrong one.
Me and Jeremy trying to find a way to get back on track...without going back up all the stairs.
At this point we knew for sure this was not the right track, but we decided to keep going, can't lead us too far off right. All we have to do it find a road, that will take us back to the car.
We make it down to the end....find a sign that says where we are...yep the track took us to the next town over! We are now somewhere between where the car is parked and my house! Very much off track.
After sitting down in order to think of how we are now going to get back to the car, we found the only way was to go back up the mountain. Coming down it was bad enough! So me and Sarah said we would wait down at the bottom and send the guys back up and around to find the car....about an hour later they showed up with the car.
So that turned our nice "peaceful" hike, into one very tiresome day. But we did enjoy ourselves, so guess that's what matters!
