I could do Sydney

Give me a city where there is parks, cafes, shopping and Mexican food...I could do it. Seriously, though Sydney was great. I really enjoyed my short little taste of it. The people were friendly and helpful (although I only think I heard about 2 people speak with an Australian accent?) Wicked was, well wicked! Shopping was pretty grand. But most importantly they had delicious, cheap Mexican food. It was just what I needed! I little slice of spice in every bit...mmmmmm.



Taken from the ferry to the Zoo. Sydney, Australia.

Cute little koala <3

What would a place be, if it didn't have delicious gelato!

Saving the best for last, 2 delicious chicken tacos. In corn tortillas, corn salsa and med salsa, black beans, cheese and lettuce. Mmmmmmmm....need I say more!

Auckland City at night



What a beautiful city. This shot is taken from the North Shore, across the bridge. I work in the city and ride the bus across the bridge every day. Some things I will miss....

Almost there...


So I have updated some of my most recent adventures. But not really any of my thoughts or feelings...so let me give you a run down.

I love my life. I have done and seen so many things around the world. I have met people all around who have changed my life. So the question looming in my mind is what is my next step?

When we are young, you think 'oh I will graduate, get married, get a job, live ____, start a family, etc.' Now it seems that I have done all of the steps to get there, but have not reached that point of knowing the final answer. Granted, every move I have made I have felt good about and I know that I have learned or experience (at least part of) what I was suppose to. But since moving to New Zealand, I have felt a big weight as to my next move? That this next one is an important one? So I have been researching, studying, praying so that I make the right move.

I think I am almost there...

It's been a while...


Okay so I have been throwing myself into life in New Zealand and obviously so much so, that I have forgotten to blog about any of the adventures. I am going to include in this post a few of the memories and adventures that I have had so far...


After the dance we went and walked down Queen Street as super heroes and we found more heroes on the street!



Clinton flying


Super hero dance...I of course was Captain Underpants!


I want this one day...


on the route home: Crystal, Clinton, Aden and John



Our campsite - we got these vans and then had to try and keep out of the rain (didn't help and just created a wind tunnel) The weekend was spent mostly in the vans, in the kitchen or getting sick in the rain ;)



I love this guy.


On our way to stay the weekend in the Coromandel, we made a stop at the Thames markets :)


There was a dance with the theme 'yellow' in Hamilton (about 2 hours away) so a bunch of us, packed up and went down in all of our yellow!



Some Saturday's I just like to go to the beach and take photos. This is Rangitoto again.


Weekend in Christchurch


just on the drive, look at the color of this beautiful water!


Hanmer Springs - we drove here and went to the hot polls, such a cute little resort town.


When driving to most of the coasts you have to drive through the beautiful country sides like this.
