Victory! Wave the Flag!

Shortly after I arrived at work today, I got this IM from Beau:

"I am looking at your photo.... and it is next to... your brand new... NEVER BEEN USED.... permanent work permit!"

Hooray! We're permanent residents of New Zealand!

Finally! It should have taken about 3 months, but between notoriously slow and sketchy Thai officials, medical reviews going back and forth across the country, and a hair-pulling epic waiting period for Beau's school to cough up his contract, it took about 14 months.

Oh well, all's well that ends well. HOORAY!
