The whirlwind of last-minute activities soldiers on! As of tonight, we’ve made a house rule for the apartment: no countdowns and no saying “the end” at anytime until we realistically have to address said matter. I can’t exactly carry that forth in this blog, but I can at least let you all know what’s up… [Read more…]

Thanks to mi madre, Virginia Scarola, and her 21st birthday gift to me here in NZ – Jaclynn, Allie, Mark and myself had an amazing day full of childhood delight and merriment at NZ’s premier theme park – Rainbow’s End. *(Lauren we missed you – we’re sorry the world’s natural occurrences hate New Zealand and… [Read more…]

Since I’ve been on a roll lately, I figured I’d catch ALL THE WAY up and hit you with an update on Wellington (where I will be moving to with my seasonal home in Queenstown) and the rest of the tiny things going on in my life. We (Me, Jaclynn, Claire, and Kelli) hopped on… [Read more…]

Part Two: I’m Going South.  Saturday April 16, 2011 Talk about traveling! As soon as we got back I had one night (more like a few hours) to repack and then it was off in a taxi at 5am to pick up Dad and Leesa at their hotel near campus and head to the airport.… [Read more…]

A few things to check off the “need to address” list before I get into my reflective post. 1. The Glee finale was FANTASTIC. I loved the original songs and that Brittany got way more attention than she normally does. – That being said… I am frustrated that there is STILL no definite path on… [Read more…]

I’ve decided that what makes the most sense in the absurd absence of this blog from your lives, is to start with the most recent events and come back later with a massive Rarotonga/South Island trips update. There are two major things that have happened since returning from excursions during the break: 1. Super City… [Read more…]
