I finally got around to cooking lamb chops and boy were they good! For all my meat eating friends, I reccomend you try this delicious meat at least once. I did ours in the oven with rosemary and garlic and it was fall off the bone tasty.
Mark has gotten all of his letters from UNB and had them sent off to Auckland. Auckland has gotten back to him with some of the papers he needs for his student visa, and we are waiting on a few more things to come in the mail. The visas pretty much finished. We are just a few signatures and papers away from sending them.
My teaching license has been finished and sent. At this point, it is a waiting game. I have to wait for them to get it, approve my request and send me the teaching license.
We have also started to consider driving in New Zealand. We are starting to look at approximate costs of their used cars, what details we need for insurance purposes and how to register a car in New Zealand. The registration seems to be really important - not only form a legal stand point. If you fail to notify New Zealand that you bought a car you can be held liable for any outstanding tickets that have been issued to that car (parking, speeding etc). If you notify them, then you are not responsible for past drivers outstanding tickets.
Mark and I have also started to look into international drivers licenses. We will apply for those later this summer as they are only valid for 1 year. This will give us some time before we need to apply for New Zealand drivers licenses. We are both still unsure of how we will feel driving on the "other" side of the road in the "other" side of the vehicle.
Mark and Mary-Ellen
