A little news

I think sometimes making facebook announcements about big life events is kind of weird. It just feels so impersonal and unoriginal. Sometimes people may want to spy on you and see what you are up to. But they have no real relationship with you. So you're just out there blasting personal information about yourself that a lot of people don't really care about. But a blog can be good because the people who do care and know you can take a look for themselves if they are interested and find out what is going on in your life. So here is what is going on. We are having a baby boy who is due in about 5 weeks. His name is Orion. He is getting so big and our lovely midwife says he is, "locked and loaded." So come on Orion! The next biggest thing going on in our lives is that we are moving to a different part of New Zealand. We have lived in Wellington for six years and I am completely convinced that it is the most beautiful city in the world. I haven't seen too many of the world's cities, but from what I have seen, it is the loveliest. However, Morgan got a job at a little studio just about an hour north of Auckland in a little town called Snells Beach. And that is exactly what it is, a little town out in the country and on the coast. So far people have warned us that there isn't much to do up there. To me that sounds lovely. Let me tell you what there is to do. There are warm beaches with water that you can surf, snorkel and swim in. There is lots and lots of nature, mild winters, a donkey reserve, and...and... that is about all. Hee hee. We went up there to check it out and I really loved the feel of the place. With islands off the coast and warm, clean beaches, it just felt so peaceful. I am really looking forward to being close to a more hospitable ocean. I do love Wellington. But it can be a very harsh place due to its cold winters, and Antarctic Southerly storms that tear through and knock the wind out of you. So that is our life. We are planning on moving up there around mid April. Goodbye for now.
