So, as if getting engaged wasn't enough fabulousness to last a lifetime, we also had the most fabulous holiday with friends at a bach on Lake Taupo, where we did all the things you're supposed to do on a kiwi summer holiday... barbecues, lazing by the lake, lazing in the backyard, lazing in the lounge, playing board games as 2012 came to a close, swimming in the lake, taking the dinghy out on the lake, relaxing in natural hot springs, getting massages, seeing parts of our beautiful country we either haven't seen before or haven't been to in awhile... it was bliss - the perfect start to what is set to be the most exciting (and a little bit scary I'll admit...) year of our lives so far.
