Friday…
Today has been miserable. It started raining in the night, and has continued through the day. The temperature has dropped and it is supposed to snow down to two hundred meters. I don’t know what that works out to be in feet, but I know that it is low. It is the kind of cold that sits in your bones and doesn’t leave. I have spent as much time indoors as I could, while still working on sorting through my parents stuff.
I took a break around lunch time and went to see Wendy Campbell’s new house. Wendy is one of my best friends here, and she recently got married. It was so fun getting to see her little home, and to see her as a wife. I loved looking through her wedding pictures as I wasn’t able to make it for the wedding.
I joined Juniper’s family for dinner tonight. It was fun getting to catch up with two of my favorite little friends, David and Bethpage. They gave me the grand tour of their house, and Divvy, the joker that he is, tried to lead me into a closet saying it was another room. But I knew better and almost got him in there. Elijah, the youngest, was a little star struck I think. He wasn’t born till after we left, but I have no doubt that he heard about us all the time. He had so many things to tell me, and lots of questions to ask. I think he is going to take after his mum.

Saturday…
Today, I took a day off from all the packing. I felt a little guilty, cause there is still so much to do, but I needed the break. I spent the whole day with Andrea Northcott. Andrea has been a very special friend to me over the years and I loved having the whole day with her. We went to Warren’s Bakery for lunch, and I got my mince pie. Then we wandered around town and went shopping.
At 2pm, we went to a baby shower that Karen Major was throwing for Bernice Leyser, Juniper’s mum. It was a lot of fun, and I even won a couple of the games we played. I caught up with a few different people, including Jan Clark, Kirsty Watson, Dalwyn Hoskins, and Cynthia-Louise Demetrius. After the shower, I went back to the Northcott’s home for dinner. Andrea’s boyfriend Chris came for dinner so that we could meet, and I could get to know him a little bit.

Sunday…
I have to admit that I skipped church today. I am so exhausted and I am fighting off a cold. When I got up, my throat was raw, and I’ve been coughing all day. I still had a lot to do before tomorrow. I wanted to have all the boxes back on the trailer, so that I was not leaving my stuff strewn all over the Bisley’s property. While they were at church, I had the house to myself. This allowed me to get a lot done and I finally got it all finished. The trailer is now repacked with only the stuff we are taking with us.
Tomorrow is a big day. I am setting out for Auckland. I have my appointment at the embassy on Tuesday at 9:30am. I am going to drive up tomorrow. There are a few places that I want to stop at along the way. I will post again tomorrow night with some pictures for you.
