Pretty busy

Probably about time for an update I reckon, its only been about 3 months since my last one. Had a pretty full on last couple of months, been working and trying to save money to come back over to Japan and catching up with all the boys and girls. Danielle came home just before xmas so it was great to see her, she had three weeks back home so she ate plenty of lamb and fish and chips and got to catch up with all her mates. We went up to Mapua (Nelson) for 5 nights of camping which was really good, we got great weather and had a few good nights playing drinking games etc. We had new years up there also and it was an alright night, sat around drinking in our tents and then a bit later we headed down to the local pub where they had an Elvis performer singing songs and dancing around, we all had a bit of a laugh coz the guy kept singing the same songs over and over, don't think he new to many!!
We arrived back in chch on the 2nd Jan and for the next few days we were flat out trying to organise our wedding day for the 5th Jan. Everything seemed to fall into place for us in the end and the weather even showed up with a stunning 26 degree day and really calm, we had the wedding in Danielle's mums back yard amongst her beautiful gardens. About 40 to 50 of our closest friends and family attended the service and reception afterwards so it turned into a really enjoyable day. I think there were close to 1000 photos taken of the day so Danielle and I have a great task of sorting through them all to pick out the best ones! There were some great speeches and everyone was up dancing etc, around 10pm Danielle and I were picked up in an old vintage car and were taken off to the penthouse suite in the Heritage (our wedding present from all our friends) it was a fantastic room with all the extras. We were both really happy with how the day turned out, it couldnt have gone any better.
Danielle is back in Japan and i'm looking forward to joining her in a few weeks, just booked my flight the other day for the 5th Feb with 4 nights in Sydney to see our friends Kylie and Tristan, and then on to Osaka on the 9th. Anyway thats about it for now, i'll post some wedding and new year photos on here soon.
