Hello everyone!
So first update, I didn't get that job 😞 The guy called yesterday afternoon and said that I had interviewed really well but they found someone with direct experience with the whole volunteer/travel thing! Aw well! I was REALLY bummed yesterday. I was already having my first official bad day here lol I forgot this road rule where if I am turning left but someone else is turning right and needs to cross in front of me, I am suppose to let them have the right of way? Anyway the guy LAYED on the horn!!!! Oh boy! haha! So then last night we went to Pukekura Park or something like that and they have this festival of lights from Xmas time til the end of Feb. It was so beautiful and they have concerts etc and last night they were showing the movie ET!!!! We went with Greg and Jess and Kobi of course! And everyone was making fun of me because ET came out in 1982 and I was not even born! LOL oh dear! Anyway work at the cafe is going ok. They are still terribly disorganized, I got paid but it was the wrong amount and

Haha little devil
so I had to ASK for my pay stubs lol so that I can figure out what is going on each week that get paid so I don't get ripped off! Oh dear! But the girls at work are fun! Mark's work is going well too, he had to spend the night away Tuesday night and he is still looking for other work. There is a job at Carters - one of our neighbours works for them and is going to take Mark's CV (resume) in to work next week for him! It would be more of a 7am-5pm job with some work on saturdays but only like 7am til noon or something like that. So we will see! I am writing him a cover letter today for that. Other than that, enjoy the new pictures!!! OH and Congrats to my friend SHEILA who gave birth to her daughter Kylee!!!!
Miss you all xxoo
OH wait, I didn't do a Kobi update! He is doing real well! We put him out in the garage to sleep and that has been going over really well! He still gets to hop into bed with me when Mark goes to work around 5

We went to take pictures at lake Mangamahoe and found these little guys!
am! His training is going real well and he rings a bell on the door downstairs when he needs to go outside. We don't have him upstairs as much so he keeps having accidents up there cause he doesn't know where to go. I am spending more time with him up there though and we are going to get another bell and see how that goes. His personality is just so fun! He keeps us entertained. Oh and we take him for long walks at night to tucker him out. I am going to take a video soon of him running on the beach! It's hilarious! But we let him off his leach and he chases us, its too funny! I also called about puppy classes and we may be getting him in a class a week from Monday!
K well thats all for now! xxoo
Love An

The view from this little restaurant we went to for lunch on the weekend called Bach. What a view! If you can see, that is Kobi and Mark on the beach.

My favourite view on the way to work! The mountain looks so large in real life and then I don't think the pictures do it justice!
