Yesterday morning, Jesse was given his work visa and permit, which will allow him to work in any profession in New Zealand through January 31 of 2009. We didn't let ourselves do anything more than hope it would all work out, and here we are now, sitting on the other side of our efforts, knowing that we can work here legally, living in our own apartment, proud owners of a couch, refrigerator, and some cookware, Wellington library card-holders, and any number of opportunities awaiting us in 2008. Mind you, it's cost us almost our entire savings of the past 5 years, but I feel like we're finally on our way to the futures we have wanted for ourselves. With jobs in sight, we can start saving once again, making our way toward a more progressive life in the place where we hope to live it out.
That said, we've been reminded of Peak Oil, and are getting on with thoughts on our 5-year plan once again. Or, I should say that I am finally in line for getting on with the 5-year plan. Or even further, we've taken our first step in this 5-year plan and are ready for whatever may be next. I see a primary next step being the acquiring of life skills that would be useful in this future we envision, and saving money from our jobs so that we can someday soon purchase land, build our house, all that good stuff. Jesse's seen the necessity of life changes as a result of Peak Oil in mind for several years now, but I've held off on getting too involved until this big first hurdle, this move, was conquered. It was a question whether it ever would take the first step, and now that we have, i feel ready for anything. Bring on the cobbling!
