December 6th


BEACH DAY!! Finally.
The weather has officially started looking up. After five straight days of rain, the last two days have been beautiful. Yesterday morning Steve (my car), Sarah, Briar, and I drove up the coast about 40km to a white sandy beach in Orewa. The wonder lasted about an hour or so before the clouds started rolling in. We packed up our gear and decided all could be righted with a good cappuccino. It felt so great to get out of the city for an afternoon. I had almost forgotten how insanely beautiful this place is.

I happened to stumble upon a last minute babysitting job for the evening, so I gladly spent my night entertaining two really sweet boys (and by entertaining I mean watching a movie…pretty easy). My flat mate’s friend- who works in early childhood education and had more babysitting jobs then she can handle- had offered to hand out my number to anyone she couldn’t cover. Yay for making money! Then came home to an awesome family flat night consisting of cards and too much red wine.
