We'll be in New Zealand on Sunday! (by Mary)

We've spent about three days packing now, and we're ready to go to the adventure mecca of the world, New Zealand. We're leaving for Chicago tonight, and our flight for NZ takes off Friday afternoon. We couldn't be any more excited!! You don't have to worry, I plan on taking hundreds of photos that will make you all jealous of trip. Don't count on a blog until after our return on March 10th.

Since our lost blog, we've done quite a few things. My parents visited for a weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed a mediterranean restaurant, Istanbul (previously Pasha). We also saw Slumdog Millionaire, which is my favorite movie of all time!

Last weekend, we went down to southern Illinois and visiting the Pankaus. I walked a half marathon, and Rob, Amanda, and Ryan ran it. I actually beat them to the finish line, because I started 1.5 hours early. We also visited the new house they purchased out in the country, and we spent the night there. It a great house for them, with hunting on the edge of their property!

See you in a few weeks!
