April 31, I began making my way back to Australia from Shizuoka, Japan. I arrived in Adelaide the next morning. I hadn't been home since January so it was quite a strange feeling to be back, but I was also extremely excited! I spent the week visiting friends and family, having dress fittings for my cousin's wedding and helping her prepare for it. I also ate a lot of red meat since it is nearly impossible to buy a decent sized steak here!

Saturday the 6th of May was my cousin Josie and Matthew's wedding. It was a perfect day and I had so much fun being a bridesmaid. I felt like royalty, being chauffered around all day in a limo and having hundreds of photos taken.

Now it feels like I was never away as the time went so quick, however it was so great to see family and friends again and to be part of such a special day!!!
