The Christmas Stocking I hope to make...

Yvette's Wedding

My dear friend Yvette got married not too long ago. Jon and I were excited to be able to attend the wedding. It was all very beautiful. They got married in Old Saint Paul's in Wellington, which has got to be my favourite church in the city. It is all dark wood inside and all classic gothic style.

The reception was fun too. Jon and I got to dance a bit, and even had a chance to waltz... I love the waltz! Yvette looked beautiful, and Matt looked handsome.

Our reception table... Mostly West Plaza Employees... I was taking the photo

Just cause it was a cute photo... :)

Texas is never too far away...

Halloween Candy Fun

Weta Workshop

For those who may not know, Weta Workshop is one of the workshops that does special effects, costuming, structures, etc for films. Their largest accomplishments being working on Lord of the Rings and King Kong, though they have done many other productions as well.

Gollum, Gollum

Scary Ork Guy

We happened to meet the actor who played the sea captain in King Kong as well...



Anyway, they have a small museum that you can go through... so we had some fun...

Cape Palliser

We took Becca to Cape Palliser, which is sort of outside of Wellington. On the drive there we noticed a Tsumani warning sign! I didn't notice that last time I was there...


Then we saw the seals at the seal colony. It is so cool you can literally go right up to them - though that is not suggested as they will attack if you get too close, but you could!






(On a side note - seals may be cute, but they sure stink!)

Next we climbed up to the Lighthouse... We all made it up.
