times they are a changin'

it's wintertime in new zealand... meaning aucklanders dress in their favorite colors (black & midnight black), torrential rains, and farewells as good friends move to warmer pastures.

this week i said goodbye to my old flatmates amanda & sam who are off to england indefinitely...

and to my good friend tim (the non-canadian) who is off to summer camp for the next 3 months.

farewell friends, and have fun!! you will be missed. 

mini milestones

today was monumental for two reasons:

1) nz residency application submitted

2) attended my first yoga class

bravo me! how long have i been going back & forth with all of this residency stuff? hah, take that nz immigration... i'm ready for you now! all things go, so now it's just a waiting game. crossing my fingers that nz will take me as i am before my current visa expires on aug 13th....

i can easily see how yoga is addicting for so many people! what a great natural high and i can't believe i was afraid of it for so long! thanks so much to leah & sadaf for inviting me to the yoga loft with them for 75 minutes of yoga (actually 60 + 15 of relaxation) and a super yummy vegetarian meal afterwards. love it!
