'100 Happy Days' Challenge: Days 57 - 63

This week's post is being written in Christchurch, NZ which means... we're on holidays!! And nothing makes me happier than being on holidays. We've spent the past few days catching up with as many friends and family as possible and have been loving every minute of it. 

We haven't been back to Christchurch in about 18 months - it's so nice to be here. 

Here's a few other things that have made me happy this week: 

Day 57 - 'I used to think the idea of having a milk drink after a run was a horrible idea... Now I love it! And I get to use the excuse that it's got protein in it, so it's good for me... right?'
Some healthy protein bliss balls would probably be the best option, but this is the easy version of getting protein in after a run.

Day 58 - 'My dress for my brother's wedding finally arrived!'
I ordered a dress online a few weeks ago and it only just arrived before we flew out, thank goodness!

Day 59 - 'Holidays start now!' I love holidays, especially ones that include friends, family, running and my big brother's wedding!!

Day 60 - 'We just had to fork out $2,500 when we picked up our car from the mechanics which was less than ideal, but then we got in the car and found a whole bunch of goodies that they'd left us as a thank you gift for using their services - totally made me smile! It really is the little things that people do that mean the most in life.'
A rather expensive gift, but it turned a frustrating moment into one that made me smile. 

Day 61 - 'Arriving in Christchurch! Can't believe it's been almost 18 months since we were here last.'
Our last visit to Christchurch was a very short trip for a funeral, so it's nice to be here for a happier occasion and to be able to catch up with so many friends and family.

Day 62 - 'Staying with my aunty and uncle for the night in Church Bay, NZ - brings back such great memories of when I used to live here. This was the view on our walk this afternoon.'
I used to take this view for granted when I lived here, it really is a stunning part of the world. 

Day 63 - 'Devouring this delicious pizza while catching up with some of my favourite Christchurch peeps.'
There's nothing better than catching up with friends over a nice meal.
