so its summer and we are loving it!! this is on a stroll along the beach, with Mt Ruapehu in the background (its a giant volcano)
we have been trying to take lots of walks in the pretty weather, this one took us up into one of the old battle stations, they had built all these amazing tunnels which you can still explore.
Jord has been doing ALOT of skating, and is getting much better, these are just two of many skating pics, i think i just like the colours :)
Sammy Dubs came to visit which was awesome, almost as awesome as his movember moustache.
Baby Brother Bry came to stay too this month, cant believe how grown up he is!! was fun to take hima round Auckland a bit, we took a ferry in then explored the Art Gallery, (which I LOVE!)
We also finally made it to Hamilton to the Temple this week. I am grateful to be married to a man who loves the temple and is willing to get up at 6.00 am and drive 2 hours to get there and back for work. was a beautiful day.
the coolest park benches in the world! gotta love it when you ask an artist to make some seats....:)
And no post would really be complete without a little love to the rails, those of you who know jord understand his absolute love of rails, he was very excited about this one and we are working out the logistics of snow to a sub-tropical climate.
Okay we love you!! hope you are having a Happy Day.
Elam is The University of Aucklands Arts program which Im learning is actually really hard to get into, I'm still not really sure how i did. i know it has A LOT to do with my Family. so here is a much needed Thank you to them. my brother Ashley's fiancee Natalie spent countless hours discussing my dreams and aspirations with me, turning the abstract thoughts into plans, and eventually a portfolio that I fully believe wouldn't have been turned in at all had it not been for her help and support. And also Scott and Geraldine, for again discussing what must be done in order to face the scary possibility of failure at the one thing I want more than anything. and to Jord, for graciously agreeing to move half way across the world to support me in this pursuit.
I feel incredibly blessed, and am ready for the challenges that the next four years will I'm sure bring.
This is Natalie and I after they took us out to a celebratory Dinner, and my beautiful Flowers!!unfortunately even though Nat warned us and carefully explained how to remove the yellow bits from the inside of the lilies, we forgot and now have lots of yellow spots on our floor..... but they were so Pretty :)
