Flying Halfway Around the World & Old Friends

Hi Everyone!

T and I made it safely and in comfort to New Zealand. We really lucked out on the flight over.

After arriving in Auckland, we went through the thorough customs search because we had some camping gear with us, and they are very strict about your gear being clean so as to not contaminate their natural environment.

There have been a lot of changes happening in our world over the last few months, and yesterday was a big day for us. We have been in the process of changing our priorities, and getting ready to uproot our lives so that we can move closer to the beach.

We have been going through the job application process for months, but it looks like my husband is about to secure his job there (we’re keeping our fingers crossed).
