So long 2010!

Hello again! It's been a while! So much has happened....

Although I really missed being with family this holiday, I had a really good one! I spent Christmas day with my boss from Curl and their family at their beeauutiful house. We had a delicious lunch and went out swimming and paddleboarding. Check out the view from their balcony...

After Christmas, I went to stay with Michelle in Te Puna. She's staying at a huge place up in the mountains that looks over all of Tauranga.. Beautiful! The two little girls she's nannying are adorable and the parents are really nice. They said I'm always welcome (two nannys is better than one, right?) so I'm sure I'll be back soon.

Michelle and I on new years eve

Michelle and I played in the pro beach volleyball open tournament on the 29th... We did pretty well! Won 2, lost 2. That's two more than we expected to win, haha... On New Years eve, we spent the day sailing on their family's yacht (no big deal) and then went to Mount Maunganui at night, which is a fun little town right on the beach. There were huge covers at most of the bars, and others didn't except our California IDs... So we spent most of the night walking around making new friends, and then watched the fireworks on the beach at New Years. Fun stuff!! The next day we hiked the top of the Mount, which was beautiful! And then I drove back to Auckland... Boooo.

I'm back at work now and things are going great. I've already finished 2 articles, some ads, and am working on a new article right now. The next issue is coming out soon so there's LOTS of work to be done. Better get back to it! More to come soon...
