Our Quote

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Who Says you Can't Go Home?

It would take me too long to catch you up. Thankfully my audience is ya'll (friends and family) but even so I'll do an ever so brief "review":

July 2011-Left New Zealand back to Phoenix

February 2012-Found out a wonderful surprise was on his way...see below :)

April 2012-Got Job back in New Zealand

June 2012-Pregnant, Couldn't travel to New Zealand :(






July 2012-Went to Kona, Hawaii to work



October 2012-Our little Aloha baby born


October 2013-Left Hawaii to go to New Zealand

That's it!!!

Ok, so now you have it all this is where we are.




We are back in the lovely country of New Zealand. Not too different from our last stint here although we have moved up to the tip of the South Island whereas last time we were at the bottom (affectionately know as the "arsehole of New Zealand"). We are in the Marlborough region which is the center of the major wine producing region of New Zealand.

Anytime you drink a Sauvignon or Pinot Noir from New Zealand more than likely it comes from this area. We live in a small town called Blenheim which only has a population of about 45,000 people. It has its claim to fame as being the "Napa Valley of New Zealand" and has all sorts of art galleries, small boutique hotels and restaurants with great wine. This also happens to be the sunniest place in New Zealand!

We have been here before, on a visit last time we lived here and we had a blast. In fact, we both got sunburned pretty badly by hanging out in the sun a tad too long. (Imagine that!)

So now we are here, in the middle of beautiful wine country with a baby in tow.
I'll be honest, I don't think I'll be writing those big, nice long blogs like before.
I think these will be more like random musings about life here in New Zealand

I promise I'll keep you guys posted!
