Early January, I'm back!

Well the blog sort of died off during the last few days of the trip.

I had gone back to Jasper, and just basically hung out, enjoyed the grandeur of it all. The snow, the cold, and the nice weather. The company wasn't half bad either ;-), and I tried to just relax and take it all in. I had survived a month in Canada. It was brilliant, a trip of a lifetime. I learnt a lot about a lot of things and had more fun than I could have possibly imagined.

I made it home, and had sweltering heat to greet me. I went to see my good friend Mike in New Plymouth, who is doing very well and seems to be in good spirits which is awesome to see! Hi to him and Kirsty and the crack dogs!

I also went to my cousins wedding. She looked lovely, and it was a brilliant wedding, put on by her parents, who did an exceptional job of organising everything I might add. Just another awesome day.

Then somehow I got through Christmas and Boxing day by keeping a low profile and then onto my sisters wedding down in Waikanae down Wellington way. That was a neat little wedding too with only 10 of us in attendance. I think there was even a photo of my original family all grown up, that in itself was pretty incredible. The 3 kids and mum and dad all together with no one else in the photo. Man I have to get a copy of that photo! It was taken by the professional photographer at the wedding so hopefully it will look good!

After the wedding I popped down to Wellington for the night to see another godo friend, Heather and we had a bit of a dinner and a tour around Wellingt CBD and local suburbs. It was really nice to see Wellington again, and see what had changed. Heather was in good form as usual! haha

Anyhow, back to Auckland for New Years Eve where Shaun, my flattie got boozed and was trying to pull some old chick, heheh and he did a runner at the last moment and ran back home. New Years Day was a quiet affair at my house, with computer games (World of Warcraft) being the dominant factor.

Fast forward antoher week and I am now back at work. Strangely good to be back at work and back into the routine again. Quite enjoying it.

Oh, and back on my bike agian too... sore ass, but that is temporary and my fitness is shot to hell, and hopefully that will change too in the upcoming weeks. Here's to a long glorious (and sweaty!) summer.

Cheers
Matt.
