What could be better than family time in Auckland, New Zealand? We moved from San Diego and definitely miss the weather, but life in Auckland is just peachy!
What a year, seriously. Not a stellar stand-out year by any measure but there were definitely some diamonds in the rough. The Pearl Jam concert. This show was incredible, the music, the weather, the company of my best friends and seeing a band you have …
