Last night, Rachel and her friends went to a park near to the main beach with live performances and a good view of the Merimbula fire works for new years eve. While dad, mum and I went to where Uncle Phill And Aunty Carol were staying nearby to watch the nine o'clock fire works from their deck, which had the most magnificent view of Merimbula.
As the three of us got into the car, a beautiful sunset spread across the sky, flooding Merimbula with golden, orange light, mum was quite annoyed because by the time we got to Phill and Carols it was to late to take a photo, but we enjoyed the view anyway.
We spent the evening chatting, eating, enjoying the view and then watching the magnificent fire works. When it was time to say good bye we got in the car and drove back to the caravan. We sat for several minutes, it was eleven thirty, and then deciding that since we were so close, it was silly not to go and watch the midnight fireworks. So once again we got back into the car and drove down by the river and sat on the boardwalk with five minutes to spare before the new year arrived. We watched the beautiful fire works from directly across the river. A great start to the new year. After picking the girls up we headed back to the caravan park and dad, mum and I got straight into bed while the girls wanted to stay up and walk around for a bit.
My first words when i woke up this morning were "dad, shut the door" in an annoyed voice, as where I sleep, when somebody opens the door, the morning light shines in right on my face.
2011 has arrived, and for me it's the start of a whole new experience.
Going to High School is surely going to be fun but scary at the same time.
My new years resolution is to never wish to be somewhere else, or to be doing something else, to live for the moment and enjoy what i've got.
Also to enjoy the time i've got as a child and not rush it, because there's not many years.
Happy New Year everyone!
I'm sure this'll be a great year.
