Wintery July

I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend than with my husband exploring a new part of New Zealand. We were totally lucky enough to get to spend some time away in Napier a few weeks ago- cafes for reading, an awesome new bach with double showers and an outdoor bath tub!, the coolest restaurant I think I've ever been to set on a winery, a trip to the national aquarium, and a Sunday morning bike ride :)

The entire time we were at the Old Church Restaurant, I kept thinking, "I have to get some good pictures for my Mom, she would love this place." Driving away I heard myself say, "Justin it's just so amazing," "Justin It's beautiful." ... and that's when it hit me ... I am my mother's daughter through and through. We didn't get amazing photos- but check out the website for some great shots http://www.theoldchurch.co.nz/.

Back in Wellington we are buying a new heater to take the chill off the July morning air. That's right America ... it's cold here! We just had our most un-eventful 4th of July ever. Sad. But we did have 2 weekend days in a row of absolutely blue skies - I'll take it. Besides the weather, I've been reading lots of exciting books lately (check out Malcolm Gladwell if you've never read him), and we've both been working away. Getting really really excited for my sis & to meet Mr. Blake Brossia soon. Hoping for a July full of baby news, wedding pictures (so excited for you Kendra & Mo) & no winter blues. Love & miss everyone!
