a principal on the roof

How boring would life be if you only had one or two seasons every year. I must sound like a broken record, but fall is amazing at the moment.

Sarah and I spent the afternoon raking leaves. A few minutes into it, I was aching all over. Talk about working out, who needs a gym when you can have a front yard with trees in it!!




It was Pizza night tonight and there were eleven of us sitting round Anne's parents house. I'm all about food and eating together. Cooking is such a fun thing for me to do and sitting round a table and enjoying a great meal just doesn't compare to anything. 

Anyway, while we were enjoying food and getting ready to carve some more pumpkins, it turned out that Robert's principal was going to spend the night up on the school roof. It was part of a charity auction where students and parents have been raising money for the school. 
Having heard that, we jumped in the car and off we went to see him. Sami took a guitar and we taught him an Austrian song. He was fun and even did all the actions :) I really hope he wont freeze up there tonight. Good on you Mr. West!

pumpkins and world changers

Nobody has ever been as excited as me about getting to carve a pumpkin. You got to understand that we don't do that in Austria. We eat pumpkin as Sam pointed out yesterday.
After work was done for today, Sarah and I jumped in the car and bought 4 pumpkins. It was awesome!!! Never underestimate how much fun this can be. Especially when you have other people around.
The boys were so against it - being rockstars must be tough as you're too cool to do anything - but after we were finished they carved their band logo into one... Pictures will be released in their due time :)

Got to catch up with my bestie Ruth today on skype. Nothing better than that. Her poor boyfriend had an accident playing rugby today. Kinda scary but nothing is happening out of God's hand and I know first hand that He can do miracles. He just healed my friend Sophie, unbelievable!!

In other news. When I was working in Sydney, our team was working on a documentary called The I Heart Revolution - We're All In This Together. I can't believe it will be in cinemas next month and history will be made.
If you're in the US, Canada, Australia, NZ or South Africa, you really have to go and watch it!!! It will change lives and mindsets. How do I know? Because it changed mine.
I'm so proud of the team (especially Danielle, Kelly, Glenn, Paul and Joel who have given their all to do this) and can't wait to see the entire film.


my brothers would point out how ridiculously small my head is. it really is
