Oops!!!

I meant to put this picture at the end of my last New Zealand post but apparently forgot...

Aren't we a nice looking family? :)
Well that is all for now. Back to studying.

Letters To My Inspiration

Dad - You have such an incredible respect for everyone and everything in this world. Growing up helping you out with so many different things, both indoors and out, showed me how to go about life treating everything in this world with respect, and that nothing can be taken without giving even more in return. Mom - You always pushed me to do and experience everything I can. Even when I didn't want to try something new, you reminded me there's always something to be gained. You never stopped encouraging me to follow my dreams wherever they may take me, and to never regret where I have been, because EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Josh - You and Mitch have both been in my life for so long I barely remember life before you. I am so lucky to call you my brothers. You, Josh, are the kindest person I know, someone who would truly go out of their way to help any friend or stranger without question. There are not enough people in this world like you. If I could help out even a f...

Welcome to Australia

... Where there's 4957748285943079 different animals that want to kill you. The other night while minding my own business I was so blessed as to see a MASSIVE spider run across the sidewalk. I've been informed it was this... It's called a Huntsman and I've read they can get as large as a dinner plate. You're welcome for this picture by the way. If I had to see one in real life, you can deal with this. Don't worry. This is a good spider that we like to keep around because it is not aggressive to humans and it eats other pesky insects like the thousands of cockroaches that live here. If you somehow do happen to be bitten, the venom will not require you to go to the hospital, just might cause some pain and swelling. They apparently are commonly found in houses. No the real spiders you want to watch out for are the Sydney Funnel Web and the Redback spider (which I will spare you the pictures of). These are highly aggressive and a bite can kill you (if ...

I've decided to hammer down and just do this. So here it is, New Zealand. View from the plane We stayed in Queenstown which is on the South Island. It was probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. Breathtaking views everywhere you went. I don't mean to brag, but this was the view from our Villa we stayed in. We could hear a small waterfall out back too but there was too much foliage to be able to see it. We settled in Sunday(?) afternoon and headed into the town to do some exploring/shopping. Lake Wakatipu. Temperature Ranges from 46-50 year round. People were swimming in it... Supper time rolled around and I honestly can't remember which meal we had that night but I think we ate at this nice place near the lake where I had a delicious pasta with Salmon in it. Dad was also enjoying the local "cuisine." The entire time he was in Australia and New Zealand he made sure to try all new beers each time he had one. This one was pretty aw...
