You've Been Asking...

Here you go! Finally some pics from our trip last week!!! (Special thanks to Miss Katie Cline for supplying the photographs.)


One of our many lovely sunsets...
















On the way to Whangarei... Brent decided it might be worth stopping for a few photos. (I think he was right!)
























This symbol is quite common in New Zealand. If you look closely, you can see a fern all closed up, getting ready to unfurl. It is supposed to symbolize new beginnings... pretty appropriate for this trip, if you ask me.

The picture of me with the apple was taken because Katie gave me the nickname "Apple Snob." She thinks I am snobbish with my apples because I absolutely detest the soft ones. I figure, if I wanted applesauce, I would just eat it. Fortunately, the apple I am pictured with here is a New Zealand Beauty apple... which equals incredible deliciousness. :)

I think I am missing some pictures... I'll have to look for them again on Katie's computer... but hopefully these give you just a taste of the amazingness we've been able to experience lately. Unfortunately, the pictures don't quite capture the magnitude of the beauty I've been able to drink in...

Blessings to you all!
