The weeks have crept up on me again and it is past half way through April already! The last week of Gen med was probably our 'cruiser' yet as we made our way through last tutorials and meetings, had our last ward case presentations with our consultant and said goodbye with a card. It was hectic but i will miss gen med and the group we had. That Thursday we had a last ECG tutorial (which would have been brilliant at the start of the rotation!) then i snuck away to surprise Kyle and do the 4.5 hour drive to Denmark :) It was a nice drive actually and i managed to leave before lunch and the big Easter traffic although the roads were already busy! It was so nice just to leave the city and get the country air and surrounds again! I loved coming into Denmark with all its greenery, it is a beautiful town :)
His mum could see me pull up as she knew i was coming but i waited out the front and rang Kyle 'The roads were busy so i took a little detour to Denmark' :P he came outside but i went through the back way to see his mum and hid in the kitchen, poor Kyle was a little confused but when he found me (or heard the laughter i couldn't contain!) he was still surprised, i loved his expression :)
It was lovely in Denmark, we chatted and drank lots of tea and just relaxed! Good Friday we had a yum brunch at his sister Jess's house with pancakes, berries, bacon, walnuts, maple syrup, banana - the works! They have a lovely house and view overlooking some hills. We met Suddy Jess's husband and his mum and Kyle and i looked at a little what i called 'witches hat' house that someone use to live in, around the corner was also a little cottage like house with vines on its walls, it was all like a fairy tale setting but real and i absolutely loved it :)
We had a game of trivial persuit that afternoon and i helped Kyle's mum Robyn make him a 21st cake. That night we had a lovely dinner at the tavern with his mum, dad, sister and Suddy, it was busy but a great atmosphere, we had dinner in the bar area (i had salmon - yum!) then played a game of pool! We went back to the house and sang Kyle happy birthday complete with a delicious chocolate cake (thanks Robyn!).
I left Saturday morning to have some time with our short break in Bunbury at home, the Denmark easter markets were on though, i would have loved to look at them they were massive and attracted so many people!! Maybe next year :) I had a nice trip home every town was so busy for the Easter weekend, i stopped in Manjimup and had a really nice chai latte there before continuing on. It was really nice to be home, mum and i went out for some shopping and had a look in spotlight, i was also getting some things for Kyle's surprise 21st party i was organising. It was nice to have a walk with mum and dad, home cooked meals and my home bed :)
Easter Sunday i went for a run to my good friend the marlston stairs before cooking pancakes! yay! Nic and Dan came around for a good brunch under the patio, dad cooked bacon and eggs and we had fruit too! Afterwards was of course out traditional easter egg hunt in the garden... i was on a mission this year and for the first time i found my eggs first and didn't have the last egg which no one could find, i was very proud :P but it is always a lot of fun, mum says it is our last one but i know it wont be :) I would still have an easter egg hunt when i am 50!
Mum and i had an interesting day making a costume for Kyle's 21st - power rangers! It did take a while but we got there, thank you mum for all your help you are amazing :)
That night we went over the Smiths house for Teagan's birthday which some other families and had a BBQ dinner, it was nice to sit and chat with everyone and meet a few new people. I was quite tired and left a little early but still had a good night.
Then Monday it was back to Perth, but not before a trip with the puppies to the back beach! I love how suddenly energetic they are running through the sand and water, it makes me so happy to play with them with mum and dad and see them enjoy it so much! I tool a few photos :)
But with lots of fun comes the consequences as demonstrated by Nicole's dog Sonic...
Mum and i had a little cooking spree that afternoon - we made muffins and cranberry biscuits (i am addicted to these!). I was a little sad to leave i felt like i only just got there and hadn't fully had a chance to relax with my family (and recover form Gen med!) but uni calls. Even spanning nearly 1000km in 4 days it was the best Easter break so far. Happy Belated Easter :)
