i am the only aussie in the kendall crew. (and very often amongst my friends... i am surrounded by kiwis!) my kids are half and half, my in-laws are one kiwi, one samoan... and every year when australia day rolls around, they make fun of me when i want to celebrate. but i don't care. i will do it anyway.
this year i said we were having australia day lunch and invited them over for a bbq. keryn (my in-laws next door neighbour - also a flipping kiwi) came too. these are the faces i got when i told them to smile and say "happy australia day!" hahaha. steve did that face on purpose just to ruin my picture, maddie smiled and doug muttered something about how our government doesn't want him because his citizenship application hasn't been approved yet. sigh.
but that's my life. surrounded by new zealanders and very happy to be:
the token aussie.
i love this country and i feel lucky every, single, day, to be here and be blessed with all i have. ♥
