It’s official and I can announce it…. WE ARE MOVING TO NEW ZEALAND!
While we were over there, I had several meetings and interviews with prospective employers and managed to secure a job offer with an internet-based company. The job starts on 10 April and we are very busy at the moment, selling most of our stuff and organizing the relocation. As you might imagine, there is so much to do but we are making good progress – we even sold our car yesterday (which was a bit of a worry, what if it didn’t sell?) and are getting quotes from international moving companies about shipping some of our furniture.
It’s a very exciting time and it’s not without it’s problems, but hopefully we will manage to get everything sorted in time.
Stay tuned for updates, we intend to keep this blog updated as we go.

OMG I am soooooooooooooooooo excited for you!!! I was reading your blogs every day while you were in NZ, and have checked periodically since your return just in case you updated further.
Congrats to you both – only know too well the upheaval you are going through in moving to the other side of the world (but I didn’t have a baby in tow!!). Where are you off to – Wellington?? While it is hard not having your family around, you won’t regret moving to one of the most beautiful countries in the world (and I’m sure your parents will make a trip or two to see you….)
Unbelievably I will miss you again by a couple of days – we are all going over on 30 March for my step mum’s 70th birthday party (they live in Cambridge, just out of Hamilton) and we come back to Sydney on 8 April. Next time we are there though, I can plan some time and will be coming to see you!!!!!
Lots of love to you all,
Nic xx

Yes, Wellington is where we are headed. I have managed to secured a great job and we also know people there (Joe and Susanne, who we stayed with when we were over in Feb). We’re looking forward to it immensely, although we are understandably a bit apprehensive about leaving our families behind.
Shame we will be missing you – again! – but hopefully now there will be lots of opportunities to catch up.
