My blog follows my family of four from south of Boston, MA, USA to Palmerston North, NZ, then to Christchurch. I am a teacher and private tutor, and my husband Mike just got a job as a software engineer in Christchurch. We packed up all our stuff and moved here Oct 2nd, 2012. My kids Zack, age 3, and Ben, and 6, are enrolled in school here and are adjusting OK. We even have a Kiwi cat: Mr. Purrsalot!
I joined expat.com on 13 October 2012.
