I guess I should post

it's been a while. i've not really had much to post about, hence the no posting. we've really just been busy working and doing stuff for church. we did have a nice weekend this week. we had thanksgiving dinner on saturday with our friends over in Waitakere (why-ta-kay-ray) *there are no emphasis on any syllables in Maori. so they all have the same emphasis :-) anyhow, it was a good dinner. they had invited a lot of kiwi friends, which made it fun. it was estimated we had 52 people!

yesterday, after worship, we went with dave, marie, and philip to go snorkeling at goat island marina. that was a lot of fun. i think i need to invest in a wet suit now. our friends had an extra they let me borrow. it made the water swimmable to me. it was so cold otherwise. jer didn't have one and didn't really notice too much after he got in. but it was quite fun watching him get in. we got to see a lot of fish swimming around and a lot of jellyfish too. we weren't as keen to see those! i decided it's called goat island b/c there is a lot of goat fish. the island was tiny and i didn't see any goats wandering around. it was quite forested though. :-)
