This week started with excitement at being able to spend my birthday with my sis. On Monday morning Emma, Johan and myself heded up to Auckland for me to spend a few days with Gem and for them to head up to the bay of islands for the week.
After saying goodbye to them, Gem and I spent a few hours shopping in Auckland before heading back to hers to see James and his parents. That evening we had a lovely dinner of lasagne (was uber tasty, thanks G) before settling down infront of the tele.
The following morning I was awoken by a big birthday cuddle from Gem before she headed off to work. Since it was her birthday, her very nice collegues at work lt her escape by about 10.30 and she headed back to be with me. We opened our pressies together (with EJ on skype) she got me a lovely pandora bracelet with some kiwi charms on and a jumper, a top and some books, I got her a waterproof watch. Afterwards we headed out to sky tower for our lovely birthday lunch. We had an amazing 2 course meal with wine at the revolving restaurant up skytower, although the weather wasn't the best we still had a really nice lunch with awesome views over Auckland. After lunch we did a little more shopping and Gem got me another surfing charm for my bracelet.
That evening we opened more pressies from Mum and Dad and Karen and Ian followed by a lovely meal arranged and treated to by James.
The following morning I headed back to Hamilton for my birthday celebrations with my friends. We headed out to Raglan for a surfing afternoon/evening followed by a meal. Had such a nice evening and got spoilt rotten by my friends.
Since then I have been in work and after months I finally got to go on another helicopter transport - this time to Thames on the coromandel - B.E.A.utiful flight!
All in all, a pretty good week
