Then I got older

We both took it pretty easy for our birthdays this year - so out of character for me! haha. I guess because they were both midweek and I was going out of town the following two weekends, I didn't want to have a big event.

So, it turns out Jodi had work in Auckland right around my birthday so she came to visit and we went for dinner with a few friends.


We finally went to this meatball restaurant that opened late last year. It's still so busy so anytime we've thought to go, it was already fully booked. You mix and match the type of meat, with the sauce and the sides. We'll definitely have to return!

For Dustin's birthday, I made him some slow roasted hogget shanks and chocolate cake! I was battling a cold so we just had a quiet night, and had a couple friends over for cake.

So here we are, older and wiser.

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
