Everything we've left out....

wow.  so we've forgotten about the blog for a bit.  

so what have we done in the past month?  well, on the assumption we left out a lot here goes the update:  

- had 4th of July with another American and his wife at a Kiwi's house.  I cooked bbq ribs w/ a jack daniels sauce and cajun spices.  had everyone ripping meat off bone and going back for seconds.  Sarah cooked an awesome apple pie and made some tater salad that was well enjoyed.

- had our after term break.  we didn't do much.  the highlight was seeing the New Zealand All Blacks play the Aussie Wallabies.  the wallabies were favored but the AB's won!  we were so close to the game it would make some people sick.  it was a freaking awesome time with our friends Gill and Bill.  see the pics for evidence.  

- went to the zoo twice during the break.  we ain't ashamed.  the zoo rocks.

- started back to school.  boring school stuff inserted here.  Sarah is teaching and I'm messing with PC's.  her concert this term is gonna be a rock/pop concert.  i've got some infrared projects going on to improve the school and i'm debating on pushing a wind generator.  

- saw the newest Harry Potter.  not bad.

so the classes for my night school have been postponed due to interest.  don't quite have enough  students to justify teaching a full term.  but thats ok with me.  means i don't have to plan lessons or go back to school at night.  

in the big news, WE PAID OFF ALL OUR CREDIT CARD DEBT!!  no more cc debt, baby!  now we can save money for our visit to the states and not worry about the freaking monthly payments to faceless corporate bottomless maws of debt.  we've got it under control.  now we can spend our money how we want.  its a great feeling!
