Blaine's First Day at Work

I have now felt the feelings that a mother has when her child starts school for the first time. I took Blaine into work for his first day (actually a selfish motive so that I could have the car on my day off) and took pictures of him the whole way. He even bought new clothes, just like we used to do for school. One funny thing about New Zealand that we have discovered is that not many people wear khaki pants...most wear black slacks (they would call them trousers). So Blaine had to get in "style". On a more serious note, I really think Blaine is going to like his new job. He is actually catching a taxi to go pick up his rental car in the morning for his first overnight trip to the West Coast. He is getting a Blackberry (works as a computer, phone, PDA) and a few other "perks". He even has an office with a window!

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. Suprising news, I know, but NZ doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving! But we are going to celebrate Sunday night with some friends...turkey, dressing, sweet potatoe casserole, sweet tea, etc. We'll tell you how it goes.
