just chilling

This weekend feels incredibly deserved since this is the first week I have worked more than 30 hours since I've been here!  Although it's been sunny the past week, Saturday is proving cloudy and cool, which is somewhat of a relief.  Relieving in that it gives me an excuse to lay low, catch up on the movies we've rented, and relax in pajamas for as long as I want!  Whoo-hoo!

We have dinner plans tonight with our landlords.  They are a married couple, about our age, and are really nice.  They certainly helped us find our feet here in ChCh.  They have made reservations for 8 of us at a nice Italian restaurant in the nearby neighborhood, Merivale.  I am looking forward to a nice dinner with new friends (some of whom I've heard are American).  It's refreshing meeting new people and feeling included without having to go too far out of our comfort zone.  Sounds like a perfect Saturday to me!
