frosty.

If there is any one that has not given up on me and my blogging...I appreciate it.

Over the past two weeks I have had struggles with e coli, infections and a virus that made me wish for morning sickness only. I assumed that you would not want a daily update on that apart from the fact that I didn't move for three days. :)

My in-laws came this weekend and I never once saw them because I was asleep. Seriously? yep.

BUT I am feeling better and I am on the rise!!!

Other than that; Jared has been having to cook, do laundry, save people's teeth and make late(ish) night runs to the store for ginger beer (ginger ale). I am a little addicted to it because it makes me human again...but no worries...it's not alcoholic.

Before the sickness set in and in between doozy days, Jared took me to a Philipino cooking class at the Museum in town. It was really cool. We also went to a import store and found some interesting things. Pickled mud fish, fried grasshoppers...not something I would ever crave.

Pictures will come at some point soon.

The pregnancy dreams have been hilarious and crazy. Stung in the face by yellow jackets, being a character in the 'Walking Dead' and trying but failing to sneak into Makin' Music without being caught; fighting with a girl over a Frosty...yeah...that may have been real. jk.

I have wanted a Frosty from Wendy's for a long time. The closest Wendy's is a little more than an hour away. Last time we went to Wellington in mid March, we didn't end up going and so the craving has been incessant. I think it's just me and I blame it on Frank. haha. 

I emailed the company and told them, 'I just moved from America, I am expecting a baby and I am craving Wendy's. You must open a store in Palmerston North. Please!' haha.

I received an email from the company saying that they are opening a store in Palmerston North this year!!! I replied with...'I LOVE YOU!'

Is that inappropriate? hahaha.

Tomorrow is ANZAC day. ANZAC stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps day. It is similar to our Veteran's Day. Jared and I are going to be at the square at 5:30 a.m. for the dawn parade. This day is incredibly special to Jared because he was baptized on ANZAC day. It also honors his grandfather who died in the battle of Gallipolli.

This is the national anthem of New Zealand in Maori and in English. It's quite haunting at the beginning...i love it.

After the parade, we are heading to Wellington to celebrate his baptism birthday. We are going to watch 'The Avengers' which we have been eagerly anticipating and guess what's on the way? Wendy's!

It's a holiday and everything usually closes. Don't worry...I called ahead to make sure they were open. I am just trying to save Frank from the disappointment. haha.

In short, my life is sadly focused on chocolate soft serve. I will be quiet about Frosty's after tomorrow. Bear with me. :)
