Auckland
Wow! It has been quite a week. Aaron was in Fiji, and life was full-go back here in New Zealand. In the space of a few days, I had some girls over for dinner, had one of the intern girls over for lunch, planned a worship leader meeting, led a worship leader meeting, went up the mount twice, went to the prayer room every day with Taylor, plus of course all the normal things of life such as laundry and cooking and the sort.
Then, on Thursday, I met back up with Mike and Robbie and Christian and we drove up to Auckland. After a bit of shopping at the mall, we headed uptown and got settled in our hotels, and then found a great Italian restaurant that was just about a 5 minute walk from where we were staying. After a really yummy dinner, I headed back to our hotel to kill some time until I needed to leave to drive to the airport to pick up Aaron. It's so great to have him home again!
Then today we met up with Mike and Robbie again for lunch at the revolving restaurant in the Skytower - the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. We had an awesome time connecting with them one last time before they head home, and enjoying the views of the city at the same time.
All in all, it was a fun day. But I have to admit that it's nice to be home together as a family this evening. Taylor is really glad her daddy is home, too!
