Home Sweet Home We've been back home for 4 months now and the time has absolutely flown by!
We've been very lucky as things have fallen into place very quickly. We've managed to find jobs, have an offer accepted on a house and book a wedding venue! Crazy times! Jobs Han was offered a fantastic job a couple of days after arriving back into Wellington (without actually applying!). She's working for a public sector consultancy called Allen & Clarke. They do a lot of work in the health and education sectors so it should be very interesting.
Jamie had a couple of months as a 'kept man' before starting at Tourism Wellington (Positively Wellington Tourism) as their New Zealand Marketing Manager. Being a passionate Wellingtonian he's excited about promoting the World's Best Small Capital.
House We've had an offer accepted on a house which we're very excited about! (check out the photos in the slide show). It's a 1920's 3 bedroom bungalow in Brooklyn/Vogeltown. We won't be moving in till early March as the property needs to get title. The property developer has subdivided the section and is building 2 townhouses down in front of us - it wont impact us at all though as we're up on a hill. When the townhouses are built the developer will then be able to get title. The developer is actually a friend of Han's uncle (who is a very good builder) so we're doing this as a private sale and cutting out the estate agents!
Wedding Venue And we have set a wedding date - 14 March 2009. We are holding it at Brackenridge, Martinborough, which unbelievably is now all booked up for summer 2009.
