Qld here I come….

by Lia Halsall

Sunshine Coast

This Thursday we’re flying into the Sunshine Coast. Daniel’s parents live there and we haven’t seen them in a year. I guess you could say I have mixed emotions about it, of course I’m looking forward to seeing them as I love them both dearly but at the same time it’ll remind me of what I don’t have anymore. It’s kind of a bitter sweet.

Then Friday it’s up early so I can train at the gym with Lindy. I’ll be doing my thing and she’ll be doing her thing but it’ll be great to watch and learn in between my sets. After all, she’s still my #1 role model. Then afterwards we’re heading back to her place for the night to catch up on work, we have so much going on this year to organise and to say we’re excited is by far a complete understatement. Daniel’s spending his day fishing with his Dad (weather permitting of course) and will get dropped off later that afternoon. We’re staying the night because we’re all getting up early and heading down to a fitness class in Brisbane. Once we’re adequately exercised we’re heading straight to Phuk Deli. It used to be our favourite vietnamese restaurant when we lived there for a Chicken Vietnamese Salad. Here’s hoping it’s still as good as I remember it, fingers crossed. From there we’ll leave everyone behind and head over to Snug Harbour. Daniel’s half brother is getting married and it’s why we’re up there in the first place. We haven’t seen his biological father and siblings for so long now I can’t even remember how longĀ  it’s been. Mick, Lee-anne, Shannon, Daniel & Mel are all great people and to have them as our extended family is also a blessing.

I’ll have my camera with me so rest assured they’ll be a whole lot of photos to follow this four day trip. Anyway it’s time to iron my uniform and pack the car ready for work.

It’ll be the first time I’ve travelled and socialised since losing both my parents last year. I’m anxious about it but I also want to make the most of my time with my family and friends, after all they’re what’s most important in life to me. Unfortunately there won’t be any room, we travel relatively lightly and share a trolley between us. Maybe next time Vicki. ;-) xxx
