Brandy's Wedding

By
So, the main event we travelled South in February for was the wedding of Bridget and Andy (and known in short on text messages as Brandy).

Andy's folks have a golf course/B&B and they hosted an amazing event. We went early to help set up and got to explore the local area a little too! We had a blast and just thought I'd share a few photos. The stories are numerous and some are funny but this post is mostly about photos :)


Beautiful place to get married! It had rained and rained in the days leading up to it but it was nice for the big day!
I made the cake(s) - it was just going to be the middle one but there was so much cake, I didn't want to waste any!



The rowdy New Plymouth guests... um, that's not a joke.


I wasn't kidding about the bonfire!

The biggest rope swing I think I've seen! It was pretty scary. Especially at night.

Our little yellow tent. Many of the guests camped out on the property, it was great.

Daytrip to the Pancake Rocks! One of my favourite spots in NZ.

We walked the Truman Track to this amazing beach.



The drive back to Chch through Arthur's Pass. It was pretty wet and cold!

Taranaki Rugby!

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

By
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
