What have we been doing???
We have been in New Zealand for over 2 months now and well, I have not posted much....so this is what we have been up to....
WORKING!! ha ha yes!
We both agreed, along our trip around the world, we needed to stop somewhere and make some moolah...SO what better place than NZ? and why you ask? well basically because everyone here speaks English (or close enough)
So after about a month of getting work visas, buying a car and a scooter.....searching and submitting applications and resumes...we both got jobs!
Now what are our jobs?
Well..... Austin landed a job as a program tester for an online medical school. So basically he sits in front of a computer and tries to find mistakes and problems with certain programs....actually pretty neato for a quick little job. He really likes it BUT the hours are intense and when I say intense I MEAN intense....for example one day last week he went to work at 7 am and didn't leave till 4 am! He is such a hard worker...I love him!
I am a Nanny....for a family of cow farmers :) ha ha I never really considered myself the city type...but after this...I think that I am! I love the family they are so incredibly nice and the kids I just adore One is 6 one is 4 and one is 2, I love my job.....besides all of the strange things like...smelling cow pies most of the day, driving about 45 min out into the country every morning, and a few other things that I will share later...but I really do have a great time.
So that is what we have been doing...besides the escape to the local beaches almost every weekend...we are officially not bums for the next couple months, we are back to the grind (at least for the time being) and it really feels nice :)
