We are whangareian!

Finally officially living in Whangarei.

The move was much harder than last time, afterall we are moving cities this time, not just suburb.
It took us the whole day, with cyclone lusi predicted to hit Northland that weekend, the worst weather you can have to move.
But it turned out not too bad in the end. We got hit by the rain, some furnitures got drizzled on, but at the end of the day we all safely moved with minimal damage.

We took the animals with us the following week, with cat Cody meowing all the way in the car and the dog Pinky excitedly about the long road trip, little did they know they have been moved away from home and are never going back.
I think they are liking their new home though, more space inside and outside for them to roam. We are all still settling down.

I think I jinxed myself by saying that I have experienced all the biggest life events in 2013. Little did we know we again went through a major life changing event this year. Moving house can be stressful, and it takes time to recover and adjust.
I do however enjoy the extra time spent with hubby everyday, the nice working hours of 8 to 5 everyday, the free time after work and the bigger more luxurious house to live in.

I do miss my friends from Auckland, and the asian people/food/entertainment there. Also miss both my parents and in laws but hey, we will meet new friends and adapt to a new environment here together.
We don't know if this move is going to be permanent, but that is what makes it exciting. We might decide to settle down here and start a family, or move to a different town or move back to Auckland. Who knows what the future holds, as long as we have each other and our family of 2 humans and 2 pets are in one place, we can be anywhere.

I am having last and this week off, so i could go back to Auckland and clean the house in preparation for renting out, and also to sort my farewells with friends. This week I am up here cleaning this house and helping the animals to adjust to the new environment. Whangarei is promising for our career, we will get great work and life experience up here, I am really looking forward to going back to work and get better at what I do.

So right now I am here blogging away and sorting out little bits and pieces for the house.
I will post some pictures of out house up soon, we do have quite a good view being at hill top!
