Yesterday I went with a group of people to the vineyards out east to celebrate my friend Laura’s birthday! We had a fantastic time and, most importantly, Laura had a wonderful day!

I was the designated driver / photographer!
Here are some of my favorite photographs!

On September 14th, less than 3 weeks from today, Josh and I will be on a plane to New Zealand. We have one way tickets. I am absolutely ecstatic. Oh, I’m also scared as hell.

Josh bought me flowers yesterday when we found out to tell me he loved me and to calm me down a little bit.

We have started to make a list of things to do before we leave, including a big going away party on the 12th of September. Can you think of some random things we might not have thought about that you really think we should do or need to do before we depart?

Friday was the last day of camp. I was absolutely exhausted and had a really long, rough day. I came home and there was a piece of mail waiting for me. It completely made my day! What was it? MY NEW ZEALAND VISA!! Josh and I went to Olive Garden to celebrate and were so ecstatic for the entire evening!

If you don’t already know, whenever something really great happens there is always something else to come and rain on your parade. On Saturday, we received a piece of mail saying that Josh hadn’t filed paperwork for his United States residency card and, since it had expired, he was being deported.

It’s as if America saw he was leaving and said… “You can’t quit! You’re fired!”

Sure, it doesn’t sound bad because we were planning on leaving anyway… however now this means that we need to wait for a court date so he can straighten all of this out before we leave. We don’t want to leave and then never be able to come back!

The waiting game starts again.
