It has been a day of ups and downs today. Last night we emailed the visa officer assigned to our case at New Zealand immigration with a gentle prompt to check out how our application was going. We got an out of office reply saying he was on holiday between 1 May and 1 June! Did this mean that our application has just sat waiting and not been dealt with? I think the stress of waiting has got to me... I had a little sulk, a cry and a bit of an outburst. I felt ready to say enough...I'm tired of living life in limbo!
But we've come too far now so we have forwarded our email to the contact person on the out of the office reply to see if we can find out what's happening. The wait goes on!
Then some good news, I found out that Gemma, someone I used to work with had given birth to a healthy baby boy. Very excited about that can't wait to go and visit them.
Not had a great day at work, there's some changes taking place which have made the place feel a bit gloomy, so back on a bit of a downer!
I was just ready to close down the computer at work and go home when my mobile rang and we've had a reply from New Zealand immigration - we're in! I didn't know if to laugh or cry so I did a bit of both.
So thats it a big life change ahead now I really have to face up to the fact that I'm moving to the other side of the world from my lovely daughter, Jodie, (although I'm hoping she won't be far behind us), my mum and dad who I think the world of and some very special friends. But it is a big adventure that I am really looking forward to.
