New Zealand is beautiful.

hello! 

so Amy and i arrived in New Zealand yesterday morning. our travel went fairly smooth, and after a fun day with the Gecks (the first family we're staying with), we both "crashed" at around 7pm (NZ time) last night. 

can i just say that New Zealand is one of THE most beautiful places i have ever been?

because it is. 

despite the chilly temperatures of "winter" (40-60 degrees Fahrenheit), everything is so green and beautiful. 

i am in awe of God's creation.

here are a few instagram photos from the past two days! :)
