Helllloooo everybody!!
How is everyone after the nice long easter weekend? Well rested out and ready for a new week i presume?! I must say, we were blessed with very sunny and warm days here in Palmy over the w-end and we did a lot of outdoor activities! We went for a picnic on friday, with joggie and simone, to the Botanical gardens here in Palmy. There were some very yummy snacks and we made sure that we didnt forget the ducks! :) We fed them 3 loaves of bread and its amazing how aggressive they become as soon as they see the bread! Saturday i had to play a club game which we won comfortably 39-20. the last 2 weekends have been pretty much good weather and i'm very thankful for that, but now chantelle is keen for it to rain so she can wear her new pink gumboots on the wet field. ai ai! :)
On Sunday we took a drive up to the wind farms and got up close and personal with some of the turbines, its unbelievable how big they are, but then again, chantelle's not one of the tallest persons around hey! :) overall, a very fun easter w-end!
Some latest news on jobs/studying:
Dunno who we've told what, but we received some good and bad news the last week: Firstly, there is lots of teaching jobs here for chantelle, but in NZ they now starting a new thing that they want all pre-school teachers to have studied a certain 'early childhood education' course before you're allowed to teach the youngsters and by 2010 everyone teaching pre-school, must have that behind their name. the good news is that, as soon as chantelle is registered with the teaching council of NZ, we can apply for permanent residency, because her being a teacher gives us enough points to apply for it...so YAY for that! Other good news is that i have my appointment with the Accounting firm in palmy next week, so everybody hold thumbs and pray that i will be able to start working there and finish my studies while working!
no other news really, we're dying to hear from everyone and all the news back home. pls drop us an email! have a good week and i'll get my wife to write the next post! :)
