Our Weekend in Auckland

After packing in the early hours I couldnt sleep. Dropping D4 with his dad. Filling in the hours too. Finally it was time to leave. The flight was ROUGH!!! Even B15 who flies more than I do found it his worst flight ever.

Soon we arrived though and I saw my daughter :)

We made it via bus and train to the motel we were staying in for the weekend.

After unpacking we ended for the mall. My daughter works in the movie theatre there. B15 and my daughter watched a movie while I checked out the mall. I kept saying WOW!! I grew up nearby and remember the old army sheds that use to be on the site.

My Daughter is 18!!

After a comfortable night sleep we went back to the mall to set up a special room for cupcakes and birthday cake. Soon I was able to meet my daughters boyfriend and his family. I was impressed such a nice family :) After the celebration my daughter, her boyfriend, his older sister, B15, and I went to see

My daughters boyfriends parents went to a meeting they had to attend.

After the movie we hang around at the mall and I brought a few new pieces of jewellery

This morning B15 and I had a treasure hunt arounf the Mall my daughter set it up. We had a to answer certain questions about the shops in the mall. It was fun :)

Then we had lunch with Sarahs boyfriends parents bless them. They then took us to the airport. This saved time and $$. They also gave me a bag of clothes and makeup from my daughters boyfriends mothers work. BIG BLESSINGS TO THEM :)

We (B15 and I) spent the afternoon at the airport awaiting our flight home. We had a nice dinner in the international part of the airport. I CONQUERED my fear of flying :) :)

The key I decided was self talk that we were in fact going along a road that was fast and bumpy but just a road. I also read and concentrated on a magazine I got from the airport before leaving. So proud of myself :) :) :)
