You've Got Mail

This possibly could be one of my most favorite all time, good ol' faithful movies. I find myself quoting movies a lot in my head or relating to a movie character (well, if I'm honest book characters too depending on what I am reading :) This last year in the transition and move to NZ I have noticed how much more I do that.

The other day I was so excited to go to work and check my email. In my head the music that plays and the old dial up sound that happens on the movie You've Got Mail actually plays in my head each morning. I have access to my email on my phone and at home but I try to save reading my emails for the morning at work. It is just a happy way to start my day at work. Half the time, I don't get to read them all or respond right away because the phone starts ringing and some sweet elderly person is in need of help, but there is just something to checking my email.

I LOVE getting emails and Facebook Messages, they have been like a life line at times here in New Zealand. The transition was very different than I anticipated and the beauty of modern technology makes me SO happy. I love hearing stories of family, friends, and friend's kids, or what is happening new in some one's life. And I love just getting to be connected on some levels being SO far away.

I ALSO love getting to share my life. Pretty much Facebook for me is for my family and friends in CA. I love getting to share what we are doing and I have set my whole Facebook to only read people's status' that I want to read, so it is SO fun and makes me feel like I have little coffee chats with people all day. I know, I know, sounds quite delusional but true. :) I actually saw a shirt walking around the Mount on Saturday that said, "Facebook Makes Work Fun." HA HA HA!!! I died laughing because at this particular job it does! I do like my job but there are slow in between moments when everything stops so a quick look at status updates just makes me smile!

I like to think that my life is a sit com or a movie some times, mostly because it makes the internal dialogue in my head so much more fun!

Here is a picture from the weekend. It was beautiful weather this weekend, and we were outside ALL weekend in the sunshine! We live in a pretty prime location at the beach so now it's nice out we are already getting many more people just "stopping by." AND I LOVE IT!
