It's Been A While...

Time: 11:36pm
Mood: Sicky
Song of the moment: for once I don't have one! *shock*

It's been a while since I last updated this blog. I'm not sure why.. possibly because I'm lazy? Or I just had too much to do. Believe it or not, I was actually really busy after the wedding. It was non-stop for me. The moment I got back from my honeymoon (don't worry, I'll get to that!), I started work. The weekend after I got back was Rita's wedding (again, get to that in a minute...), then the following monday I was whisked away to Detroit for work. Last weekend was the first weekend I got to do absolutely nothing - and it felt great!!

So the honeymoon! NZ was awesome! It was winter, and it was a bit rainy, but Jimmy and I had a lot of fun. Driving on the other side of the road was definitely different! I can't count the number of times Jimmy yelled "hug the right side!!!" haha! We did some hiking, some chilling and some zorbing! We decided to go together and it was hilarous! We did the hydro-zorb - that's where they put warm water into the ball w/ you, so you end up sloshing down in this ball filled with water. I ended up just sitting in the pool of water all the way down :S Jimmy tried to get up, but because I was at the bottom, he ended up tripping on me and kneeing me in the chest! haha! But the best thing we did on the trip was skydiving. Yes.. skydiving! We were in Taupo, deemed the skydiving capital of the world because of the large number of people that go skydiving at that location annually. We did a tandum skydive, where we jumped with an experienced jumper. It's strange.. I told myself I would never skydive, but I knew if I didn't go, Jimmy wouldn't go, and I knew Jimmy really wanted to go. So, to show him how much I loved him, I faced my fear and decided to jump. We jumped from 12,000 ft, which meant 45 seconds of free fall. Let me tell you - it was the most amazing feeling ever! The first two seconds I felt my stomach flop like it's never flopped before. It was like riding a roller coaster, but 10x worse! After that, all you feel is the cold wind on your face. Floating down was amazing! The sun was just setting, and the ariel view of Lake Taupo was spectacular. I was talking to my skydive partner, and he told me out of all the places he's skydived before (and it's a long list!), he said the best place was Taupo. Now would I do this again? hell no! I survived once - that's good enough!

Rita's wedding was great! It took place at a B&B in Coboconk, a town 1 1/2h northeast of Toronto. It was the perfect setting - the wedding ceremeony took place overlooking a lake. Rita walked down an aisle of rose petals. And the weather was nice and sunny... it was such a great day! It was good.. the wedding party + significant others got to stay in the cottages beside the inn (I got to stay in the Inn on the second night), so we all got to bond before and after the ceremony. That night after the BBQ reception, we all gathered for a small little firework show (courtesy of moi! hehe) and a bonfire. I got kinda tipsy that night - I blame Kathy's bf Charles for challenging me to a chugging contest! LoL! I remember giving my little cousin love advice! haha!

I better sleep... I'm in Detroit right now.. gotta wake up early for work. Thank God I'm going home to my hubby tomorrow :D I still gotta post photos huh? I will do that when I get home :D

Can you believe Jimmy and I have been married for a month now? wow!
