Found out a few days ago that neither Netflix nor Hulu streaming works down here and since most of our dvd's are still in shipment we have been stuck watching the few movies that we brought on the plane with us. Which means that I have been watching "The Life of Brian" (my favorite monty python movie, and ashley shepherds as well) over and over again. So from now on I will be known as "Brian that is called Brian".
Weather is always fun to talk about. I'll tell you all that yesterday it was 35 degrees and today it is 15 and rainy. Thats celsius. To convert, just divide the number by 5 then multiply it by 9, then add 32 and you have the temp in F. So it was 95 yesterday and 60 today. What was it in Utah. Oh yeah and the air is clear. Enough about the weather.
The three big things on our agenda are to find a place to live, find a car to buy, and then find me a job. Kristynn went and looked at a place tonight that she absolutely loves, its in our price range, very close to her work (She could bike to work), and they would let little Ikey come and live there. Housing is very competitive here in Christchurch since the earthquake destroyed so many homes. So whomever reads this post say your prayers, cross your fingers, or give a toast to us, (Whatever your style is) that we will get this place.
Kristynn and I love and miss you all and love hearing from you on Facebook or in the comments on this blog.

Hey, I am a random old teammate of Lisa's. Saw this post about not being able to access Netflix or Hulu while you are in New Zealand and wanted to share a trick that some basketball wives taught me while we have been living overseas... VPN (virtual private network). It makes the internet think that you are in the USA. We use the app VPN One Click for our Apple Devices. You can also use this site unblock-us.com... it will give you an american IP address as well. Each of these options are pretty cheap, but there is also a free option that has a few ads.. called hot spot shield
