I haven't forgotten about you...

No, even with breaks of months in between, I will keep telling you our stories!

It turns out I haven't created a solid routine yet. There are a few anchors in my week but not many and they haven't got me into a blogging rhythm as such. One day though!

I'm all done my website and having been out networking and doing projects to build some word of mouth for me locally. Check out the site here: www.assistia.nz

I've been busy trying to build a foundation based on my values and really identifying clients that I would like rather than just accepting all things that come my way. I realized that I didn't choose to work for myself to not work with lovely people! I'm quite involved at a local co-working space that's run by friends so I get involved in the events and try to work from there a couple days each week.

Dustin's ticking along himself. He got out surfing today which is great because it's been a long time with weather or work or other plans.

We're almost "done" the house for now. Some details to still do but our floors are down!! So just two bedrooms and outside now but we're going to try to take a break for a bit.

Porter is going well - he had to have his dewclaws removed recently so it was tough getting him to sit still for the two weeks of recovery. (Although a couple of these pics are from his first nail issue back earlier this year.)




We're getting through winter, it's just started to really get down near zero some mornings, so frosty! There's lots of beer in the beer room at the moment so that helps keep us warm haha. I don't remember if I've mentioned that I brewed my first beer! I wanted a raspberry chocolate stout and Dustin said that I'd have to take the lead on that so he helped me design a recipe and we brewed it together. It's been yummy!

We've had a pretty laid back weekend, it's been sunny and windy so it's been beautiful! Photos not actually from today but you get the gist...

Taranaki Rugby!

Some photos from the game on Saturday afternoon. The wind caused a few wayward kicks and the torrential downpour mid-game made the ball slip all over the place but then the sun came out and Taranaki won! They were playing Canterbury who are now behind them by one place in the rankings. We had fun and managed to walk there and back without catching any of the rain. The steam-breathing drivable mascot I don't think the photo does justice to just how much it was raining! Line out Go the 'Naki! (They are the yellow and black team.)

Not for the squeamish

Well the long hours of work and planning and helping friends demo sheds and paper shuffling and biking and cooking and eating and cleaning have caught up with us and Dustin has relinquished his right to tell his story from last week. **Note, the pictures are gross so beware if you are a little faint seeing blood... So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...) "Are you sure? I think it will take me too long to bike because I
