i know...it's about time...


So, I have about 3 million things to update about.....and tons of pictures to post. So i'll get started with TODAY...which is my birthday already in New Zealand, but not until tomorrow at home. This morning we had the couple that helped us out when we first moved to Wellington, Mark and Johanne, over for brunch! They let us live in their house for a whole week and fed us...the least we could do was have them round for coffee and croissants! so i took a few pictures of the table set up, and the apartment because it was actually clean!


here is a little view of our bathroom and sink...with the hot and cold water on complete opposite sides.......we have no warm water. only ice cold or burning hot.

This is our itty bitty yellow couch and my plant that i haven't killed yet :) yay!


This is the practice climbing board i got for manuel last christmas....that he hung above our bedroom door. charming.




Mark and Johanne brought me a beatiful bouquet of orchids! and this is the wooden cabinet that i sanded down and restained......though im still not done. the hole where the missing drawer is will become a shelf...eventually.
Tui birds! this is taken from our balcony (please dont look at the gross eaves..) these birds are native to new zealand and make the most unusual noises all the time! if you're interested go here
and lastly, here is our kitchen with the shelf manuel hung for me last weekend..to house my kettle and kitchen scale :)

okay so more pictures to come of kayaking and our adventure to Red Rocks!
