Looks like we've got it!

Had a bit of time to spare today - due to son having a bunch of friends round for his 18 birthday - so decided to go into the city and check our PO Box and guess what?!

There was a letter from immigration requesting our passports and money and congratulating us on qualifying for PR! Yeeeyah!

I'm not counting me chickens too much - bit it looks GOOD!

We will finally be Kiwis (sort of) and have all the same rights as everyone else - whoohoo!

Thanks to everyone who has helped and encouraged us on the way - especially when hubby and I were apart and it was quite tough at times for both of us!

The strangest moment I remember was saying 'bye' to Kev last November and I was all alone in NZ (I wasn't really cos I had some lovely people take care of me - many cheers), but it was still rather strange. All the commuting between Auckland CBD and Howick, looking for a house, sorting out the school for son, starting my new job, getting lost LOTS!

Well - we're nearly there!

THANK YOU.
