Changing Seasons

Well, it's starting to feel more like fall here. We've had more rain which means everything is green, flowers are starting to bloom and, well, it really doesn't look like fall back in the States at all (besides the few Northern Hemisphere trees that are changing color). The days are rapidly getting shorter, which means fewer daylight hours for Brad to surf, but he is coping amazingly well!

As of today, we officially have only 52 days left until we bid farewell to Gisborne. There are definitely mixed feelings...It will be so good to see all of our family and friends back home, but we will miss Gisborne and our friends here. We're already planning to come back in about six years for a six-month stint (Brad can't wait to get the boys out surfing...He is truly addicted!).

Otherwise, not much out of the ordinary has been happening here, no exciting pictures to post, just doing our day-to-day thing. Hopefully we'll get a few more pictures up before we head home!

Brad sounds like Steve with the surfing. The midwest won't be able to contain him. Steve is always looking for excuses to go to CA - not that he really finds them too often. Maybe they can plan a surfing trip to SoCal. I can't believe I just said that!
