Campbell Family Update

The Campbells have put an end to their indecision!

After getting a feel for both islands they've decided they won't be emigrating to New Zealand. The benefits did not outweigh the loss of regular contact and support from family. Grandparents would not be able to emigrate with them. Ashleigh couldn't see her family making regular flights out to visit. When they told their families there was a huge sigh of relief all round! After a few weeks being home, Nathan and Ashleigh put their house up for sale. Deciding they needed a change, they relocated to the country, near Nathan's family farm. The kids started a new school in September with much smaller class sizes and are settling in well.

Currently plans are in the works to begin a retreat business which Ashleigh will run. And the family is growing, with a baby due early June!
