When Froggy became a Kiwi

I'm so excited! Whilst sitting on the couch, I heard the letter box open. The familiar sound of mail dropping onto the floor shifting my attention from morning TV. A letter addressed to Mr Jean Burgess (why can't people get my name right!?) caught my eye as it was stamped with NZ Immigration... Indeed I had applied for Residency through sponsorship from Kiri. What was in the letter I wondered... An appointment from the Visa Officer to grill me about my application? A letter of refusal stating that they're worried about my French ancestry and bar me from getting anywhere near of Auckland Harbour and Rainbow coloured boats... No, none of that! It was to say that in principle I have been accepted as a Kiwi Resident! Yay, as they say! We're both very excited. One step closer to the Big Move.
