So it's about 45 minutes until I turn 23 years old here in New Zealand. This is the first time it's been cold outside on my birthday, and I miss the warm weather! Obviously I am a summer baby, and I can't wait to feel that island heat in Tonga!
But for now we are having so much fun with our family here. Right now our cousins are here at our motel hanging out. We are just playing music and laughing = )I'm feeling under the weather which sucks! I always get sick at the worst times, but I'm determined to get better before I wake up tomorrow morning.
We went to Langima'a's tonight, and Heikoti and Maui's husband Tefano were getting the pigs ready for the pig roast tomorrow. I'm excited! We will take a lot of videos and pictures of the birthday party. Hopefully it will be sunny because it's freezing outside without the sun.
Yesterday they took us to the Rose Garden here in Hamilton. The pictures I just posted are from there. It's a huge, beautiful place with gardens made to look like gardens from all over the world. Sadly, the American Modernist garden was by far the most boring! The Italian Renaissance garden and the Indian garden were my favorites. We all miss those of you still in America. Keep us in your thoughts! Love to everyone
