CATCH UP TIME

Hi folks,

Well we have been super super busy the past few weeks and that is an understatement!!

We have just had the CO visit a week ago, which was fantastic.

Many an hour was spent out witnessing with them and we were able to get to know them very well which was great. It was sad to see them go but they will be back and we all look forward to that with anticipation.

Also on the job front we have some extra students now which make things a little easier although we still need more to be able to live off what we earn for teaching. So hopes are that more students will come along which will make things much much easier!

So on the house front we have finally found a delightful little house. It is on a corner in a reasonably quiet area, so the noise factor will be significantly reduced, wahoooooooooo!

It is a one bedroom house, but it does have a sort of kitchen in it which most houses do not have, so thats awesome!! There are no cupboards or anything like that anywhere in the house so we will have to use some good ol "kiwi ingenuity" for that.

Also extra cool is the garden in the front and back of the house. It is soooo beautiful! There are some gorgeous flowering beauties with a lovely shade tree in the middle. Dave will be able to at last hang his hammock!! He is a happy boy! There is a little patio area which we will be able to cover easily. We cant wait to sit outside and watch the hummingbirds at work!

Plan at this stage is to move in on the 16th May so we will see how we go.

We have slowly been gathering a few essentials for our move ie, oven, bed etc. We will certainly be living very sparsely, probably making some pieces of furniture (that should be interesting!)but we dont care, we are just delighted to have somewhere to call home!

So folks thats an update for ya. I would also love to hear from you guys so please send emails even if they are just about the weather!

Ciao for now.
