Love...it's just in the air

Today I woke up with a HUGE smile on my face. Maybe it's because we are going to a Gala at Rosie and James' school with games for kids, booths, hot chocolate and even fireworks! Or maybe it is the relaxed nature of being back in NZ. Or maybe it is because I am LOVING being Sam's wife. I don't know if it is because we fell in love here and to be back brings back so many fun memories or if it is just in the air. I can't seem to stop smiling as I hold his hand and get our life sorted here.

We are pretty tired for sure, but are having a great time with his family. It is such a perfect set up for us and the way they made us feel so welcome was exactly what I needed. We are close to family and I can hang out with people whenever I want...I am loving spending time with Rosie...we watched You've Got Mail yesterday (Sam is pretty stoked I have a new "girl movie" partner) and we both smiled just as big at the ending...we are going to make great sisters! We have got to see Tom 2 or 3 times already and will either go down and see Gracie or she will be up in January. Currently Sam is loving playing video games with James and has, like you saw yesterday, already been on the motor bikes with him. They are all pretty excited to have Sam back and I like to think I am like the sprinkles on top of the ice cream :) At least let's hope so :)

So tonight like I said we are off to a Gala...it is a mix between the 4th of July (complete with fireworks like I said) and a harvest carnival. As you can imagine I am WAY excited and Sam is loving that I am excited and not really loving the idea of going :)

I think in the end there is just a different side of me that comes out in NZ...a more relaxed at ease side of me that I love. The next few weeks will be full of planning and sorting life out but I can't imagine my life any better.
