Well, we have moved. Our life has changed and I just now set down for the first time to write on this blog. We have been here for almost a year and I am ready to share.
At first I thought this would be an outlet for me to write about our life here in New Zealand, however overtime I have decided to write about general events, fun facts and just about living with the Kiwis.
I am not going to go back to talk about the past, I will just mention our past experiences as needed. I will promote, rant, speak highly of or just bash everything and anything New Zealand related. So welcome to my new blog. I hope you enjoy the ride.

The World’s Best Places to Live 2009
This morning when I opened my computer up this is what was on the front page of YAHOO!
The article was provided by Business Week!
According to the annual “Quality of Living Survey” by a company called Mercer Consulting, Auckland (NZ) comes number 4th (tied with Vancouver, Canada) as the World’s best places to live.
Needless to say, it totally made my day!

Ready
I have waited for the right time to start this blog. I am not a very superstitious person, but writing about our move to New Zealand and everything that will follow would have been pretty in sane before we received our Visas necessary to enter the country.
Well, maybe not to enter but to stay and work.
I never anticipated waiting this long with our paperwork but you never know what comes in your way when you are planning to move half across the world.
So, here I am. Just weeks away from changing our lives, experiencing a once in a lifetime opportunity and to share all that with whoever is willing to read and maybe follow this blog.
I am having a strange déjà vu feeling as we quickly approach our moving date.
I have done this once, you know? Not with a kid and a husband though. Nope, just me. And my “no knowledge” of English. Yeah. The language I mean. I moved from my birthplace and childhood memories to a country I have never visited before. A culture so unfamiliar but, oh so exciting. To a city that carries the same amount of people a day than my little country. Where I was to live for no more than a year.
So, here I am today. Moving away from the place I now call my home. The country whose citizen I’ll become in just two short weeks.
I am ready though. I am so ready! The questions is: Is New Zealand ready for us?
