2007 was a great year, not happy to see it go... We visited NZ's south island in late fall, first trip out of the US and I must say what a release of anxiety...we enjoyed it so much we didnt want to come back. Everyone around me was healthy and noone got hurt..plus+++.... I hit a snag in Nov.-Dec in my thoughts of NZ because the money issues overtook my thoughts

(and OZ too, with the load of work for boilermakers), I had a great financial year in the states and I almost invested in 12 acres of land for a future home that I could never afford, but I'm so glad it lasted only a few weeks and now Im back on track creating a list of all that I have to do for 2008. GOOD BYE 2007
Hello 2008: Hope everyone around me and in this forum keeps thier health and positive life. My goal for this year is to get these credit cards payed off, yep, I fell in that slump at college, all I saw was FREE!!! well it wasnt. Since my sign off date for NZ isnt until 2009/first quarter of 2010, my EOI will wait, but in the mean time I will be trying to get my OH to walk through the process of immigration so there will not be as many surprises when the next countdown comes. I will probably submit my qualifications to the NZQA, so I know they know Im coming..lol....and GOOD LUCK to anyone reading this
