Whoo-hoo! We have moved into our very own flat! It is so nice to be able to spread out, and have space to relax without going stir-crazy. I haven’t sat on a couch since we got to New Zealand, so the two couches that were furnished for us are quite welcome. We were blessed with finding this flat the first day we were in ChCh, as I had enquired about an ad I had seen online. We met the owners that very evening, a young couple, and they were our first ChCh connection and friends. Their generosity was astounding; they offered to furnish the flat for our stay here, and have provided great advice about the city and restaurants. I am so thankful that this transpired so quickly, and it made our transition into Christchurch much smoother. We were unable to move into the flat until this weekend, as the owners were moving to a new home the same weekend. Just knowing that we were going to have this little place to call home made the stay at Tranquil Lodge fly by, and has and will continue to contribute to my ‘feeling at home’ even though I am thousands of miles away from my true one.
I am eager to cook in the flat, do laundry, and clean, which is strange, but I have had urges to tidy up and take pride in a space that I can call my own. It shall ease in creating a routine, and feeling more comfortable. I am very happy and excited!
