Well i have to say this past week has not been my week. I've been sick for most of it and finally gave in to seeing a doctor and was promptly given anti-biotics and told no work. While i love Michael Moore, socialized medicine isn't all that great as i still have to shell out $66 to see the doctor and another $62 for my drugs.

I'm sad to say that my last entry, was the last thing ever done on my hard drive. Yes, the computer that was known as "This bloody machine" and more affectionately "lappy" has died. To be fair, my computer didn't die, my hard drive did. I wrote that last entry, fell asleep, woke up when Matt got home at some ridiculous hour and decided that i should turn off my computer and do my bit to conserve energy. Well we can all see how that panned out as when i went to turn my computer back on on Sunday morning, i was told i have no operating system. I'll spare you most of my angst to say that despite putting it in the freezer for an hour and having a colleague look at it, i'm still missing all of my photos since moving to New Zealand (which is really the only material not backed up on that machine).

It's funny how love shows its self in different ways but love to me was coming home on Friday night to notice my computer was on and working with a brand spanking new hard drive and background screen/picture reading "I love you baby" all courtesy of the man i love. Aren't i a lucky girl?

I'm losing steam on this entry so i'll get to what i meant to write about which was Caitlin and Oisin's wedding which was on Sunday out on Waiheke island. It was a small ceremony with just Caitlin's mom and boyfriend, Oisin's sister (and husband/newborn), 2 other mutual mates from Ireland and someone else Oisin worked with. It may have been small but it was lovely, very short and sweet. The ceremony was indoors as it was pretty windy but we did make it out for a few photos.

Here are my favorites that i took:

Not much more to report. We have a nice 3 day weekend here (it's Labor day on Monday) and i'm definitely looking forward to it-no real plans just a chance to relax.

And with that i shall leave you all!

Love,
