Life has been quite the little adventure, and I praise God that I have been able to be apart of it.
New Zealand is beautiful, and so it the fact that the sun comes out everyday. In the past week or so lots and lots have happened. I guess its that everyday life stuff, that adds up and you forget to write it all down. Though I thought today I would write a little bit, its Sunday and I am really enjoying the weekend so much. I love the weekend, cause it gives Jess, Ben, and I time to just relax and catch up on little things we couldn't do during the week. Time to sit around, joke, and be ridiculous, because we have the time to. Yesterday Ben's parents came down to Wellington to have a weekend away from Auckland for his mom's birthday. So we all got together, and went to the beach for a picnic and ice cream. It was gorgeous out. I have really loved being able to get to know Ben's family better, by being around him more and more. Its neat to see Jessica's life unfold each time I am with her. I have learned so much from her, and about her while I have been here. Its been so fantastic. After the beach we came home and napped a bit, and then watched two big games that were on TV last night. Jessica and I did our best to show our support...ha. While Ben had his eyes glued to the screen...I had my lap top on, facebooking, and Jessica sat near by reading the tale end of her recent novel. I found it quite hilarious, we were all hanging out, but doing 3 different things.
This morning we woke up, and got all dressed and ready and went out for brunch at this amazing cafe " Deluxe". I had this really great sandwich with pesto and feta, and veggies. Jess and Ben got savory muffins, filled with veggies. We got on the topic of Disney Land/World and started sharing our hilarious amusement ride stories. We were all having a pretty good laugh, and realized how we really want to go disney world again. It was nice to just sit for a while and talk about old memories...ha.
We then wondered off to get tickets to go see aviator later tonight...3D!!! It has been soled out every weekend since its release! We finally got there early enough to get some seats. Walked back home, and Jess and I were feeling productive. Everyone in New Zealand has compose bins. So you throw all your food away except meat, outside your house, and then it decomposes and you can garden with it...I know right. So Jessica went outside and did a huge compose clean out, while I stood in the sunshine supporting her effort. Ben hung out all the clothes to dry, while this was all happening. Then once she finished, we started sanding and painting this shoe holder Jess and Ben have in their room. It was really a lot of work, but really great fun. We turned the music up, and got it all finished in about 3 hours! Dad you would have been proud. We both said, that you would, considering we were working with wood, and being productive.
Once finished, we made awesome sandwiches and are now relaxing and excited to go see our movie soon. Hooray. Its been such a fun weekend, and I am hoping that yours is going just as fabulous.
Thought I would write a little update about my day, to keep you all informed and entertained!
Happy Weekend to you!
