Where we are now

The last 14 weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions for the whole family.

In November we went to the New Zealand Expo at Earls Court - it was fantastic, we collected a huge amount of information and made some useful contacts.
Chris has secured a job offer from a large manufacturing company in New Zealand, at the beginning of December he traveled to London to meet with the company director. The meeting went really well, it put Chris' mind at ease about a lot of issues.
The immigration process is well uder way now. Our visas have been approved in principal so we are eagerly waiting for the postman each morning.
Two weeks ago we accepted an offer for the house, this came as a great relief considering the current housing market.

It may sound as if everything has gone really smoothly but believe me when I say it has been really stressful. Both Chris and I have had many sleepless nights and I am sure there are many more to come.

The reaction from friends and family has been mainly positive. Most people are really excited that we are on the way to fulfilling our dream of living in New Zealand.
