We’re moving! Yep, it’s official now. Monday I got the phone call from my personnel manager informing me that the position that was offered to me is mine and I move in nine weeks.
After I yelled a woo hoo down the phone line upon receiving the wonderful news I burst into tears of joy. All good things do come to those who wait and I’ve certainly waited long enough for this one. Straight away I jumped in my car and drove down to where hubby works to share with him the news. When I was offered the position I told them I’d take it on the one condition, that I be collocated with my husband into location and that obviously was granted. I’m feeling truly blessed that we’ve been given this opportunity for a fresh start and a clean slate. There aren’t words to describe the elation and relief I feel right now.
I rang my in-laws next to fill them in and they’re both ecstatic to have us coming home to them. They live up on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. So you know where we’ll be spending a lot of our weekends.
Lindy on the other hand burst into tears as soon as I told her. She’s been just as anxious as I have about me moving back home since the passing of Mum & Dad. I mean, to live only a couple of hours away from my best friend is a dream come true for me after all these years of commuting between two different states. No more me flying up there, no more her flying down there. No more busy schedules, just two best friends hanging out whenever we want to. It’s still very surreal at this stage but it’ll be a reality soon enough.
Plus it comes at the perfect time due to something else you all weren’t aware of. The day I drive out of here I’ll be dropping hubby of at the airport. He’s heading overseas for the second half of this year with work. So thankfully, I’ll have a great family and friend support network during this time which won’t be so bad now. It’s obvious now that much has been going on in the background for us and many plans have had to change due to these reasons.
So we both have a lot to prepare between now and then. But it’s nothing we both haven’t done before. At least now the light at the end of our tunnel, instead of it being just a dim flicker it is a spot light shining brightly on both our faces.
