Curtain Call

Well it's 11.30pm and we are still packing!

Tonight is the last night here and although I would like to say we are completely organised, that seems not so! I did just wanted to do one last post though before heading off into the world of unknown internet connections.

Had a great day today though, (my buddy Tondy will like this) - we have done soooo much! This morning I met my girl pals at Khandallah pool. Gorgeous little place with an outdoor swimming pool. Of course I wasn't even going to go near the water let alone get in it, especially when it isn't heated!

However Bethany had a great time playing with her friends!

Sadly chattering teeth took over so it was onto picnics and playing in the play area. We stayed a good 3 hours and had a fantastic time.

It's all been happening today financially too. At 10am this morning we became severely in debt! So it's been a day of many calls backwards and forwards between real estate agents, the bank and the lawyers, luckily for us NZ are on the ball with all this stuff so it was an easy process.

The weather had been as gorgeous as ever today, I managed to take a photo of the view from the window so when we get time later we can appreciate it!

Michael finished work at 2pm and we did heaps more packing, then finally headed up to our new home to collect the keys!! Here are some pics of the first trip to our new home...

And so here we are, a late night for Bethany and an even later night for us. Bethany is a funny little thing though - the highlights of her moving to this new house are:

1. Being able to ride in the front seat of the car with me
2. Having stones to play with at the house
3. Being able to sleep in our room tonight as we bunk down on the floor together!!

Bon voyage old house, you have given us so many amazing memories, our first NZ home will always be special, but now its onwards and upwards to an even more amazing home....
