Today was so awesome. My sister and I made plans to go to a place called Serpentine Falls that looks like the outback and has little water falls. We ended up getting lost and just decided to explore the area. We found an abandoned dam called Serpentine Dam, it was all dried up and there was no one in sight!

At first I was scared to approach them but if they get scared they don't box you, they just start hopping away. They were so cute and it was just awesome to kick it with them for a bit. Afterwards we just drove home until we saw some llamas grazing in a field! As I approached them they all just started running away. Except one super adorable llama who actually came up to the fence and showed off a little:) I had an awesome day driving through the back country and enjoying the nature. Australia really does have the most beautiful trees I've seen. Hope you all are having an awesome time in your daily endeavors.

By nature I love to critique everything- I always thought it would be awesome to have a career where I get to criticize companies or stores and tell them what they are doing wrong. Unfortunately my sinful nature brings this into the way I deal with people. As I was listening to the sermon I realized that judging people was just my default setting. In my own head, to myself, I always concealed this as honest assessment or analyzing- instead of downright, sinful judging. When I would be c
