New Year, New Beginnings

So its been just over a month since i wrote here, im sorry im so slack at the upkeep on this thing. As you all know i flew out to New Zealand on the 5th of December 2008. My flight was running behind and we didnt set off till an hour later, all the passengers were on the plane and then they call out that theres a delay due to some nechanical malfunction - just what you want to hear when your about to fly 3 hours across the sea to a different country. Ten minutes later everything was fixed and we flew out. the flight seemed to take forever. i occupied myself with a novel - Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (ive read it a few times already) and i also had my ipod nano in my ears blasting out everything from Britney to Katy Perry etc etc.
Once i landed at the airport and went through the passport area i went to collect my luggage. it took a bit longer than it did last time due to the amount of people flying in. i found my luggage and tried my best to carry it all. im only little and i had a large suitcase, a wheelbag, my laptop bag and another bag with my handbag etc in it.. so i ended up looking like a pack horse. lol. i was so hot and tired when i came through the gates.. i saw my best friend and smiled as i was finally here- for good. then we sat down on some seats with her brother and mum and waited for our other friend Kate, who came through the gates around 30 minutes later., we stopped off at maccas as none of us had really aten anything that day and then we arrived home.

the next two and a bit weeks were spent with the three of us, Kate only being here on holiday. we had a good time and did various things.. going to the malls, into town, the mueseum and botanical gardens, usual touristy things.
the 22nd soon arrived and it was goodbye to kate. We drove to the airport once more and said our goodbyes and wishes for a safe arrival. After that we hadnt spoken to her for about a week..
then it was just Chelle and i. we've been pretty busy, hardly ever taking a day off. nearly everyday we head down to the paddocls to visit her horses, we've currently adopted an abandoned horse named Storm. hes roughly 15.3hh he is white/grey slightly dappled.. hes a friendly horse, who has become very attached to me all of a sudden. he's injured/ deformed so there isnt much we can do for him at this stage as hes not ours but that doesnt stop us from giving him food, love and grooming/ snuggles - when hes good.
the other day i got up on chelles horse honey for the first time, actually the first time for me on ANY horse. i totally freaked out and got scared that i froze and didnt think i could get down but i was the only one who was gonna be able to get myself down so eventually i slid off... Chelle says shes very proud of me, that i did it, even if i did freak out.
currently im trying to learn some horse stuff.. and maybe one day find my own little pony to have and ride... one day.
NYE was a good one, although we didnt go out we still had fun, being online and then taking some pictures in the yard :).

ok so that should be enough... not much has happened over the past 5 days (not that dtuff hasnt happened just not what i wanna put in here loll)
ciao
