WOW - we have had quite a month so far !
On the 2nd David started Kindy - Kindergarten - he goes on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 1.30-3.30 - he enjoys it a lot and was quite happy for me to leave him there and come back and fetch him - well most days, sometimes we had some tears but all in all he settled in really well and even has a few friends there from our time at Playcentre
AND
also on the 2nd WE GOT OUR PERMANENT RESIDENCY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had an email to tell us to check our status online and it said APPROVED - it was a spectacular moment and our joy was beyond explanation ! Our passports have been sent to Immigration and we expect them back any day now with those wonderful blue stickers in them - which says we are HERE TO STAY !
And in 5 years we will be Citizens and be getting our very own KIWI passports !!
AND
I got a JOB !!!!! ok, ok, to all you who said i would be bored as a stay-at-home mom (you all know who you are), you were right - i do need to do something, don't get me wrong, i loved being home with David for the past 20 odd months but it was TIME - so i did it !!
i applied for a LOT of jobs but in the end i got the one i WANTED !! I am officially a Features Sales Consultant at Northern Publishing - you can check out the ad i responded to here
i am thrilled and feeling extremely motivated and excited - i start tomorrow, Wed the 17th !
David will be going to home based childcare at our friend Karyn for 3 days a week and to another friend, Nicki (who has 2 boys) for the other days - we have had a couple "dry runs" and he seems quite happy and settled with them both - does nothing for my Jewish guilt about abandoning our child but i am sure i will get over it ;)
well, that's it for now - will let you know how we all get on in our new routine and will also catch up after Ted upcoming visit (again) and our friend's andrew & sherri's wedding
love and miss you all
