9 years ago today

On the 22nd of April 2004 we landed in New Zealand, the start of a brand new life, we haven't looked back. I had wanted to do a long post with photos reminiscing these past nine years but it would take too long and out of 1000's of photos what which ones would I choose?

So instead I will just acknowledge that we know how hard it was for our families to see us leave but who have always supported our decision. They probably wished we hadn't come at all but we all have to find our own way in life and where ever that road may take us. That road brought us here to a country of breathtaking beauty, where the locals welcome you with open arms and become firm friends, a country where any dream is possible if you reach out and grab it.

If I hadn't read an article in a Sunday newspaper supplement magazine telling the story of how some British families had just uprooted themselves and started a new life here, maybe we would still have been living in the UK. I doubt it somehow, something had to change and change it did.

We can never know what lies ahead of us, all I know is that you never look back,
live every day as if it's your last
and make sure you are Living the Good Life....always
