sorry. i actually started up another blog, which is more geared toward our new zealand immigration process and to update friends and family about our move. it is turning into my blog, with updates on my running and everything. we are planning to link this blog to our wedding website in a bit, so people can catch up with us.
here are the highlights of life in general:
-we had our phone interview with our new zealand case officer. it went well. he said that it would be "highly unlikely" that we would be declined our visas. we should have an answer in the next couple of weeks. we are so excited and anxious to hear back. keep your fingers crossed and send us any nestie dust you can spare!
-my running is going well. i ran my personal best mile yesterday on the trail near our house. lance armstrong came in my nike+ipod thing and congratulated me. that was pretty funny! my time was 8'26"! even though i had to walk the first half of my workout due to a horrible side stitch, i ended up doing a better mile pace! when i started running, i was thinking that a mile was going to be a challenge and my big goal was to run a 5k at the end of the summer. to my big surprise, i can already run over 3.1 miles, so i think i may have to set my goals a little higher.
-yesterday mike and i were married 6 months. time has really flown by. i guess preoccupation with your future in another country supercedes the married days ticker! we had a nice sunday...it was my only day off, so we made the most of it. we ran, went to lunch, went to 2 movies, and had a double dinner date with our friends. sunday seemed all too short...and now it is monday again!
that's all the big news....oh, wait...we are going to whidbey island this weekend. should be fun!
