Deja Vu

So we've all been here before. We're sitting at YVR waiting to board another flight to New Zealand.

I guess we'll have to get used to it. All of us. This trip was busier than words and 3.5 weeks has come and gone already. We're grateful that we got to be present at weddings of 2 couples that are close to us. It's been lovely to catch up with those based in the Lower Mainland that we've been tied to all these years. But here we are again, leaving.

The feeling of "home" is not one that can be explained. So agree or disagree with us but right now we're on our way home. Sure it's not the easiest answer but it's the answer that makes us happiest at this point. We aren't ones to deny ourselves happiness, especially if we have managed to pin it down and even if it ends up to be fleeting.

It doesn't make us happy to say goodbyes but the ultimate balance rests in the land of the long white cloud for us.

We don't plan to lose touch with you and sure hope that out of sight doesn't mean out of mind.

When we get a chance to slow down and breathe, I will post some vacation pics for you so you can see how we spent our time back in North America.

For now, we're overheating as we wait for the plane because we're dressed for 7 degrees upon arrival. It may be a shock to the system...

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
