Wendy and Bryan arrive...and leave.

We have had a wonderful time with our friends Bryan and Wendy who came all the way from N.Carolina to visit us and tour New Zealand! We spent last weekend with them on the West Coast and hiked on Franz Joseph glacier. We stayed in a tiny beach town named Okarito. Bryan is a marvelous chef so Blaine requested for him to make spaghetti and meatballs which he has fixed for us before. We enjoyed many incredible meals with them (eating seemed to be the theme of the 2 weeks!) Thai, Indian, green-lipped mussels, lamb chops, fish n' chips, etc.

Wendy just graduated nursing school and won the achievement award from the instructors, so of course we had to celebrate her success! She gets the pleasure of studying for the NCLEX now!!! We miss you two already!!!
