They're Here!! Lambs that is. Lambs are here.

September 1 was the first day of spring, and apparently all the preggo sheep in town got the memo. It is officially lamb season. My bike ride yesterday was foiled by lamb sightings, lambs sleeping on the trail, lambs frolicking to and fro, lamb poop everywhere. But dang they are cute.

Don't get too attached to that tail, little one...

Mama sheep could not have looked more irritated by the constant attention.

I can still see you!!!

Spring has sprung!

Early Easter?!

Of course I do not need any proof that my parents love me... but if I did...

We're probably talking about $120NZD if there even were a TJs that even sold decent dark chocolate in New Zealand! I have little to complain about here, and I don't even harp much about the prices of luxuries like chocolate, but I do have an issue with the lack of its existence here! This should keep me stocked for at least a month. Ha!

And I (hopefully) have future chocolate deliveries to look forward to as well... my parents have booked their first NZ visit for mid-December, only 9 months away! And Scott's folks plan on coming during our winter (!) in just 4.5 months. Exciting!

I'm Official!!!

Check it out! I'm official! 

A few slight modifications to protect my privacy...

I was, of course, always legal to drive in New Zealand. An American driver's license is good for 1 year in New Zealand. Why did I get mine so quick? I was tired of being harrassed when trying to purchase a bottle of wine! The legal drinking age here is 18 (ie: nearly a decade younger than I), but they wouldn't recognize my California DL as identification. My passport would have sufficed, but I find it ridiculous having to carry that around.

So judge me if you will, but one of the reasons (besides making my work happy) I got my NZ license is get my savi, hassle free!
