26 November 2010 // *waves hello*

stacey and i had a much overdue catch up last night. we sat on her bed for hours with a bottle of wine (one that was bought to help the victims of the christchurch earthquake so, really, we were drinking for a good cause). excuse the blurriness but we wanted to wave hello to you all so didn’t use the flash so you could see us on the window. Hello!

tales from the north

roadtrip season has sadly come to an end. after touring the south island, we finished up with some mandatory stops up north.

we went to the top of the sky tower and stood on the glass floor.

we went to paihia and russell (where i saw this cool mosaic at a top of a lookout).

and we even saw dolphins (no shoe in the photo but dolphins are cute so i’m including it anyway!)

we also drove all the way up to the very top of the country, to the Far North.

Where we saw the tasman ocean meet the pacific ocean and looked at how far away from home we were.

on the drive back, we came across the jandal fence. i mean, seriously, what better shoe per diem material than a whole fence full of jandals?

Now back to real life. Sadface.

party prep

Preparing (and sampling) for one of my best friend’s 30th birthday party at my house tomorrow. I’m pretty excited, not only is this the first party at my new house, but MOST of my girlfriends and their husbands are going to be coming. It’s been a long time since we’ve all been together (that wasn’t at a wedding where it’s too hard to have quality time). And the best (and funniest part)…the party starts at 7 p.m. sharp, but most of the guests are coming early so we can get some quality time. So pretty much everyone is going to show up way before 7 p.m. I guess I better start getting things around early.

Cheers!
