Its been awhile since I had a Saturday afternoon with a chance to write (ok and look for a reason to procrastinate) so I will do my best to quickly sum up the past month or so. To start we had a great “last family vacation” with the 6 of us on the most travel intensive trip yet! My amazing mom got us all free tickets using miles to go to Tahiti and New Zealand for the two week Christmas break! We rented a 50 foot sailboat in Tahiti and saw the islands that way. We decided to skip the romantic  hotel rooms over the water and rough it a bit. It was beautiful and only half of us got sea sick! Our Christmas present was just being in Bora Bora and enjoying each others company. (It actually went better than I thought, no one got thrown overboard) After living on a boat for a week it was off to NZ for a road trip of the south island. we saw a lot in a short amount of time, but it was enough to confirm that I would happily work as a sheep shearer just so I could live there. We did a little of everything from hiking on a glacier to staying on a dairy farm. It is so unpopulated and rugged with beautiful scenery it was hard to leave!  One thing that made coming home a little easier was the news that Brent had decided he would move out to CA! He came for a visit luckily when it was beautiful weather and I think that helped seal the deal. I am so impressed with his courage to pack up everything, drive across the country and live in a new place. Lets just say I am excited

Sorry about the lack of a picture, its not cooperating
