Sam finally had a weekend off and it was so great to spend the weekend together. Even more fun was that at the last minute on Saturday he saw that they had a World Press Photos 2010 Exhibition in Auckland.
So off we went on Sunday morning. We headed up for the day and had such a good time. We LOVE being in a city and had a great time walking through the city, getting a coffee or two and just feeling the chaos of city life. It was very packed in the exhibition and was slow going looking at each picture. I teased Sam it was like being at a theme park, and his response: "This is my kind of theme park." And that it was.
I have always loved pictures and enjoy looking at all types of pictures. I love watching Sam critique and inspect each picture and get so many different inspirations from the same photo I am looking at where my response is usually, "Cool" or "EWWW I don't like that." He has such an eye for photography and telling a story. We stopped by some family friends and had dinner. They are a couple that are in the photography business and have invested in Sam and each time we go I just smile with how much they have encouraged him. This week we stopped by and they even had a gift for him! A cool photo book--perfect :)
We drove home tired but so thankful for the small things like a weekend off and time away. The whole weekend left me sappy and just so thankful in general for where we are at. The road was bumpy...like it is in life, but I feel like I have got a better handle on life these days. Of course the transition is slowing down a bit (well before the bubby comes and changes it all once again!), but more than that just more growth in life challenges and taking it all with a smile and a laugh.
Thanks for being with us in this journey that has had so many twists and turns. Thanks for encouraging us in the down times and celebrating with us in the up times. We are so thankful for the support we have and the support we continue to receive through emails and texts and packages. All of those small things add up to so much for us! THANK YOU!!!
