2007 Update

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
I know it’s a bit late now but I just wanted to say it all the same. I hope that yours was as good as mine! Karina was here for about three weeks at the end of last year (that makes it sound like ages ago!) and it was truly amazing! It was so great to show her my home and that she could meet my whole family and everything. We got to do some great things too! Josh and his parents took us waterskiing on Christmas Eve, we went kayaking and all the touristy things. I even managed to hire a bach in the Abel Tasman for a few days. It had its own beach too!
On Christmas Day we both flew to Sydney. As that was where Karina was flying home from we decided to stay for a few days with Grace and Alex (who were also exchange students in DK). It was fantastic to catch up with them again and experience Sydney. It’s a really amazing city and I definitely want to go back!
So then Karina unfortunately flew home to Battle Ground, WA and I flew back home here. Very very not fun! Since then I have been working as much as possible (including New Year’s). I’m doing the same thing as last summer doing youth work. It thankfully involved three days at the beach giving out sweets and sunscreen :-) Great way to earn money :-P Now this job has been cut back to weekend work so I’m trying to find as much other work as possible before heading back to Auckland mid-February… And getting all of my wisdom teeth out in a few weeks… Yuck!
