This week after sending my Residency Packet, and I don't use that word 'packet' loosely; it was a small book I sent off to NZ Immigration just to have it returned to us on Tuesday. I had out of date Medical records. When I say "out of date" I mean 20 days over what they require. After many phone calls to figure out how not to spend $400 again doing them all over it was all complete. We had to get a few things signed and authenticated and then once again I sent our small book off to NZ Immigration. We have no idea how long it will take to hear anything significant, but we are praying that it all happens fast and with great success.
Once that was done we headed into a 3 day weekend! It is Queen's Birthday Weekend here in NZ. No one is really sure which Queen's birthday we celebrate but all I can say is "LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!" that we have a 3 day weekend on our wedding anniversary weekend. I took off Tuesday as well so for us it is a 4 day weekend.
The weather is rainy and stormy, but we did happen to get a walk in around the Mount before the weather turned horrible. Now we have a few more days to just be inside, try to stay warm and enjoy time off.
In the midst of our week Sam did get to hang out with a dolphin one afternoon. He saw in the harbor by our house a national star--Moko the dolphin. Evidently the dolphin has been followed around NZ over the last few years. It doesn't have a dolphin group of "friends" so to speak, but seems to be happy following fishing boats up and down the coast. On Thursday it was in our harbor for the day. Sam got his camera and jumped in the ICY FREEZING COLD water and took some pictures of the national dolphin. Go see some of them on his website to see just how close he was.
We will keep you updated on the residency process and Sam will take more pictures once I start showing properly :) We find out on June 16th if it will be a boy or a girl....!!!! We will definitely post an update to let you know if it will frilly pinks or boyish blues to look forward to in October!
