Cyclocross

Bryce rode in a Cyclocross race this past weekend. Pretty cool race; ride a short 1km (or so) lap around a park, with lots of little descents and climbs, and some barriers that you need to get off your bike and jump over. Seems inconvenient but a fun challenging race. Especially for the spectators who were able to see the riders several times on each lap. Carl and Denise (and their wee one Liam) were here for the weekend too, so Bryce had lots of support as he rode 16 laps in 45 minutes. He was not too pleased about the mistake he made by sprinting to finish in front of some other guy, only to find out he had one more lap to go after that. So displeased he was, it went internal and Bryce actually vomited in his mouth. He was able to swallow it, but that probably didn't help the last lap either. He was shattered at the end. An hour later, with a coffee and a brownie in his tummy and he was a fresh kiwi again!

Still here!

Haven't updated for a while. I guess married life has been pretty busy and fun and I just haven't been getting around to catching up everyone on what's going on. Its winter here now and we are having to crank up the fireplace every night. It is nice and cozy inside though. I miss summer and I miss having Mom and Dad here. I was so lucky to have them here for so many weeks in this year, over two trips! Next exciting thing is to head to Canada and Vegas for our trip in September. Until then, I sit in front of the fire, with my Clamato (a treat from all the Canadian visitors I have had over the last few months)!

More photos again....

More wedding pics

I have a husband!

So as you can imagine, the last few months have been a bit busy with being the first term of school, new roles at school, volleyball season, and also a wedding. But the term is over, and the wedding was Saturday, so I am now beginning to reap the rewards of all of the work we have just done!
And yes, the wedding was awesome. An absolute perfect day, with stunning sunshine, no wind and just fantastic company! We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and just enjoying a special day. The ceremony was pretty special, and very beautiful in the middle of the garden. More pictures will follow, but here is the first one.

Beach Volley shot from last weekend

I took some students to the Beach Nationals last weekend. Check out this shot I got.

We are engaged!

We are very excited! More to come...




The ring is just a fun ring until we find something better for PE teaching.
