August...good times with good friends!

Justin and I looking small in the Wairarapa- the country side of Welli- there is nothing like a sunny day with friends. Nothing.




Our crazy team had a de-licious dinner at the Tinakori Bistro followed by some reflection time to tell one another what we love about him/her. I personally love our funny faces. This night made me feel like our year here is coming to an end... crazy!!!











Justin & I in front of the Chateau with AJ & Jono-- this photo, along with this trip, is a memory of feeling like we have real friends far far from home.

My first time skiing! Such an awesome experience. I was terrified and thrilled all at once. Pretty sure I would not have left the kids' slope if Justin wouldn't have made me. Then again I may not have gotten whiplash then either. But it was soooo worth it. (That's Mt. Doom in the background.. from Lord of The Rings- for all of the nerds reading:)
