Slowly getting there..... now just waiting for the decision

Well the missing paper got sent from New Zealand exactly two weeks ago to immigration.  I checked with immigration on Friday and they still didn't have it.  I decided to try be patient and give it until today, but I still hadn't hear from my case worker so I wrote.  The reply, yes they did get it (I've no idea when) and it's now been passed on with her decision to a 2nd colleague (no idea what that decision is, but I can only guess it's hopefully a yes) and when that colleague checks it and gives it back, she will inform me of the decision.  So now it's the real wait!  No more paperwork we can give in as of now and we're just waiting.  Now we feel we can technically at least start to pack the stuff we don't need.  We've even called our tv company to give in our notice there as it's 3 months notice they need and we need to be sure we get that done in time.  So I was hoping to see by the mail what kind of decision they are leaning towards, but no hint, no clue, nothing.  But that's ok since now I don't need to worry about anything I need to do on my part now.  It's all up to immigration.  The good thing is when I do know I can go into my boss.  They have had a heads up that we're looking to do this, but I haven't been able to confirm anything since I don't know anything.  Wow it really feels like this process sometimes will never end so we'll be very relieved when it does as I'm so excited to begin the real planning and organising.  I want to be able to ask to get my name on the list for the apartment so we know what we'll have and get an address.  So many things I'm looking forward to, buying a car NOT being one of them, but we will have to due to where we will live.  But, I'm focusing only on the good things because since I've been through a move before I remember going in to my first move saying "I'm going to make this work" and nomatter how many times people told me about the cold, I was determined not to let things like that bother me.  That being said, yes it's cold, but houses and apartments are so well built here that you don't need firewood like I'm hearing you do in NZ.  Again, we will make it work and do fine so I'm excited and nervous just waiting for a decision.  Of course, as one of the members from the NZ forum says "where is the crystal ball?"  I really want to know when we'll get this answer.  Well I know I won't get it from writing, but at least writing is getting the question I won't ask anyone else out loud written down :)
