Well I lived in Wellington for about a year...and since I've come home (been back Stateside for a year) I've gotten married and Renee and I both want to move anyway. We both want to be out of Florida...we were considering Tennessee..cheaper to live and a slower way of life (we're two old people in young bodies!).

Went back to New Zealand (for the 3rd time for me) for our honeymoon and its just my home away from home. Renee suggested we should try to move there...which I had tried to do before (when I lived there). So, just for sh*ts and giggles we filled out the immigration EOI (expression of interest).

We both want a slower way of life...where the focus isn't gimme gimme gimme...my my my...now now now...as America is. We're a spoiled, lucky nation compared to the rest of the world. I don't want my life to revolve around my job either. New Zealand is modernizing, yes, but its totally opposite of the States. It's not better...it's just different.

PS...plus NZ has some really great beers!
