We arrived safe and sound to my in-laws place on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Queensland’s Winter is a far cry from what we’re become accustomed to down south in Victoria. I’m loving it already and will happily adjust. It’s a tough life, but somebody’s got to do it.
Our furbabies will be staying here for the week with their grandparents because tomorrow we’re heading back down to Brisbane. We’ll finally get to see our new home for the first time, so we’re both excited. We’ve only seen it online until this point and although we know we’re moving here permanently it doesn’t quite feel real yet. Once we actually see the house I’m sure it’ll start sinking in. In the mean time we’re staying in a self-contained apartment until the removalists arrive on Thursday. So not to long to wait.
Tuesday I’ll be driving hubby to the airport and seeing him off as he’s heading overseas with work for the remainder of the year. Some people will go to great extremes to get out of unpacking, only kidding. A friend of ours has kindly offered to come around after work on the day I move in to help out with the things that hubby normally would do. That’s the great thing about life in the military because we all pull together and help each other out in times of need like this one. I’ve had so many great offers of help. But this is typical of the camaraderie that we live and breathe every day both in and out of work.
Then my in-laws will bring my furbabies down to me next weekend in time for me to start my new job the following week. I’ve made the conscience effort to not commit myself to anything social during my first month so I can just concentrate on unpacking and settling in. But September will see me getting out and about again to catch up with some old and new friends both through work and figure.
I’ll be back again sometime soon.
