Here is what’s up:
I’ve been in love with New Zealand ever since I traveled there back in ’09.
About a year ago, I found a work exchange program that allows one to work in a foreign country for 6 months to a year. At first it was just a dream, but lately it’s becoming more and more of a definite possibility.
For the past few months I’ve been struggling as to what I should be doing, where I should be living, etc. It’s amazing how cloudy and confusing life can be sometimes…. And it’s even more amazing when all of that cloudiness clears and God provides subtle hints here and there as if to say “YES, this is where you should be right now!”
God wink #1: The choir at my junior high school is competing in the world choir games. Their pen pal school is (WAIT FOR IT!) a school in New Zealand.
I know it’s not a huge deal…. But I thought it was kind of cool that out of all the choirs competing in the world choir games, they got paired up with NZ!
God wink #2: I normally don’t make small talk when I’m out and about on elevator calls at work…but one day I decided to start talking to the guests overlooking the mini bungee jumper in the display (me)… We started talking about my interest in bungee jumping when the lady I was talking to said that she, too, had been bungee jumping. I asked where she had gone and she said (WAIT FOR IT!) New Zealand. Now come on… that is pretty amazing! Not many people have been to New Zealand so the fact that I ended up talking to this woman… who had also been bungee jumping in New Zealand was extremely exciting.
Not to mention I know a few people who have some kind of connection down there.
New Zealand is beautiful. And, HELLO, it’s the bungee jump capital of the world!

If all goes as planned, I'm hoping to be down there sometime next year :)
