So, I have already blogged about this elsewhere, but since it’s such momentous news (and I don’t post here often) I feel like I should post it here too - today we had our offer on a house accepted.

Subject to a ‘clean’ builder’s report, the house will be ours in 2 weeks and we can move in. No more renting for us, yay!

I had to miss my first NZ work social event tonight because the paperwork needed to be signed etc. It was a shame, I was looking forward to going, but it had to be done. I will just have to make sure I go to the next one.

No doubt there will be plenty of work on the new house to come, but we are both so excited about finally owning our own home together that we are prepared to do anything to make it work.

Keep checking back here and our NZ emigration blog for updates.
