What a ride, what a ride....

Today we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our arrival in New Zealand.
How life has changed for us since we grasped the bull by the horns and emigrated!
It has truly been a bed of roses (thorns and all!) and I look back over the last 10 years in awe and wonder at the amazing people we've met, the fabulous places we've visited, the incredible opportunities we've been given since our arrival.
We made this move for our children's sake, and seeing them now as mature, well-adjusted young men (well, 15 and 12 years old!) who make the most of the opportunities that come their way, I just know we did the right thing.
Not the easy thing, but the right thing.
We took a huge gamble 10 years ago, selling up everything and coming half way round the world to a country we'd never been to before, but it's a gamble that definitely paid off.
Bring on the next 10 years - I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us!
