Definitely a me here and you there blog!

Man do I wish that I could be with you guys relaxing and enjoying the great company of everyone! I can't say warm New Zealand as I have never been there when it is warm so I always think of the company and smile. 

Tim and Carrie and kids I hope that you are having the time of your lives as it can't be better then where you are now. From the first time I visited NZ I felt like it was home. I am not sure if it was the company or the place it self but I do envy you your trip. 

Hot water beach is beautiful isn't it? I was very lucky and Dodie drove me on a great trip around the peninsula and we stopped for lunch at Hot Water Beach. 

Things are very busy for me here as my play goes up in 3 days and I am frantically trying to get everything ready. Doing a period piece is more difficult then I thought as one has to be true to the time period. So even my knitting needles are wooden! I am also on a committee called Cappies and I am a mentor Editor Yah I know you can stop laughing now, me and editor? I had to laugh too but I have help so I am going to tackle it with everything I've got. We saw the play Pirates of Penzance and there were 36 critics at the event so I have 36 critiques to edit in about 6 hours and then pick the top 5 to go into the paper here. That is due on Sunday and I have rehearsal on Sunday until 2 so fun day for me. My actual classes are great and full of life. They are not too big 28 and 32 students. Some days it doesn't feel like I taught anything but I know that I must have said something as they are all busy working on assignments and laughing and enjoying what they are doing. The work that they have showed so far has been wonderful. I have laughed till I cried and cried till I laughed. That is what makes my job so great. I feel like I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to get up and go into work and look forward to it. Thank you mom and dad for that. You taught us to be happy in what ever we do is the most important thing no matter what it is you end up doing. Well everyone I have rambled on and on so I will bid adieu to all. I miss you all very much!

Oh Tim I bought my ticket and I will be arriving at your abode on the 30th of March. I will send you the details when you get back. Have a blast!

Love you all!
