Here are a few photo updates. :-)

Me and Banjo relaxing at home on my new couch. (which you can't see, but it is really comfy, and i got a great deal on it. )

Tony (baby bro) and Mum when we took Mum out in Shepparton for her birthday.

Blurry picture of me in my CFA uniform. I don't know what Banjo was doing as he is all blurry. :-) And yes you can laugh at me. The jacket is just a "tad" big on me. :-)

I don't know if i will be able to post more before i leave for the USA but will have lots to post when i get back. :-)

MAS Job

I forgot to add this in the last post.
When I got home today I and had a letter from MAS regarding the Student Paramedic job that I applied for nearly 2 months ago.
Well i passed everything except for the panel review (interview) where they stated that i "Did Not Meet Criteria". So i don't exactly know what criteria they base it on but i felt that i didn't do well when i interviewed.
Oh well. So it looks like i am still going to be here in Wangaratta for a while longer.
I am still looking into other avenues to get into the medical field, so haven't given up yet.

Flying

Ok, i was going to post a nice blog with new photos and stuff but got side tracked with all the stuff that has been happening over in London with potential Terrorist Attacks.
I have just talked to my Travel Agency and they are saying that we are not allowed to take any carry on baggage with us on the plane, just our necessary paperwork.
I am praying that this will change slightly in the next 5 days so that i might be at least allowed to take a book to read. Otherwise it will be a very boring 24 hours of flying from Melb to Greenville.
I am very grateful for the safety precautions though and hope and pray that nothing happens on my flight or any others.
I don't know what my connections are going to be like now as they are saying that you should get there 2-3 hours in advance for domestic flights - mmm could be difficult as i only have an hour layover between Washington Dulles and Greenville.
I would really appreciate prayer that i make all my connections and that the whole flight/s go smoothly.
If anyone hears anything different over there i would appreciate a heads up so i can be prepared.
Hope to see you all soon
