I remembered!

It was Joseph Campbell (??) and he actually said "you have to be willing to get rid of the life you have to have the life that is waiting for you" but I think I like the Suzy-ized version better (of course). Anyway, now that is settled I can go to bed. School starts up again tomorrow. This spring break whizzed by... And now there are only a few weeks until final exams and *the Christmas holidays* when we got to Australia! Woohoo! Can't wait!
Any votes on whether or not I make it to the gym at 6am tomorrow?

I like it, I like it.....

Oh crud, I had it all memorized and everything. Joseph somebody said
"You have to be willing to let go of the life you want to have the life that is waiting for you"
(or something like that) and I really liked it. I still like it, but now I don't know who said it. Oh well, that doesn't take away from the thought-provoking-ness of it.

Because people keep asking....

Here is the crack in the gym... it goes the full 100 feet from one side to the other and then up the wall (see below). As you can imagine we are not allowed in this side of the building at all (kitchen, gym, chapel) so we are at Cashmere Ward for the foreseeable future. It's anyone's guess where the Stake will watch Gen Conf next week. Avonside Chapel is also a mess, but I know no details so don't ask.

"I'm not having fun anymore here Mum"
As always Lucy loves the "hossies"
Megane Lucy and a sweet little 12 yr old girl from Maria's ward riding the "hossies" :) you can never be too old for this

I thought I had a better shot of this... Maria and Megane turned Seb and Will around until they were just about sick. They loved every minute of it.

Dear Dom, if you want to get me something for Christmas, this is it... xxxx Suzy
Check out that body position - he is soooo committed to throwing that stone!
My little swimmers :) Please note there were no Aucklanders in the water!

Megane and Sebastien swimming. On October 1st. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

We went to the Hamilton Temple today

Let me start with the end.... We went to this dairy in Pokeno to get an icecream and you can't see it in the picture but there were literally dozens of members who had stopped for an icecream at 11am on the way back to Auckland. Halarious.
Del and Maria
Do I have to own up to the fact this is me???

Curry Night!

Oh baby yer! Maria, Shannon and I made Rogan Josh (lamb) and Aloo Gobi for dinner... with a bit of salsa (not sure how that made in into the curry night) and naan... and it was so good!
The girlies had a princess table, but Lucy couldn't crack a smile because "Ash tried to take my toof out and it hurts cos it wouldn't come out" (not to mention she has been wiggling it for about a week now)
TA DA!
(this is pre "my tooth came out!"... she needed snugglers from Shanny)
The 3 Amegios, the gold cow, Will and Seb
What a touching picture.... Del Boy and Lizzie having a conversation about how adorable Liz is
I could turn match-maker after seeing this lovely photo... pity there is 12 years between them and they will both kill me when they read this, sigh. Isn't Ashleigh gorgeous....
