Wedding & Easter

After our quick trip to Auckland we came in late Friday night and I worked early Saturday morning then ran to a wedding. One of the ladies I have invested in intentionally this last year got married. She is wise beyond her years, humble, loving and an incredible leader. She is the University pastor at our church. She leads with great wisdom and courage. I love being her cheerleader and learning from her. And I got a chance to wear the gorgeous dress Sam and Max got me for my birthday!! 

After the wedding I fell into bed (Kiwi weddings are LONG! Lots of speeches. Yowzers) and then got up and worked again. Then we raced to our favourite beach hotel here in St. Clair. We LOVE the beach. It's no secret but this hotel is our lovely escape in Dunedin. I save so we can go on Easter and other holidays and it is worth every cent & small weekly budget!! AND they upgraded us to the nicest room in the hotel that we have always wanted to stay in there. Top corner room with sea views from every spot, including from the bed! Bliss!! We did an Easter egg & treat hunt in our room. It was such a fun relaxing break and reminded me how much I love beach life. 

Rushing to the wedding

Liebschers!!!

What a great quick trip to Auckland Max & I had seeing Sea Jay & Banning and the kids. It was a whirlwind but it was a so fun. Being with them made me smile non stop. It's just good to be with people that have known you for 20 years. We adore them! So thankful for our time with them! 

The only bummer is I didn't get one picture with Sea Jay or even of her with Max! Oh well June is coming quick!!

Heading out
