Its the 2nd week since finishing work. I feel like am merely on holidays, which of course I am not complaining about! I think the reality won;t hit me for sometime as I have a great deal of stuff to keep me occupied & busy over the coming month, at least.

The weather here has been quite cold, wet & windy. Typical NSW Winter. I am told that it isn’t normally this cold over here, so perhaps it’s a strange phenomenom that the winter followed me here to prepare SK for the big move ahead.

Since being here I have spent some considerable amount of time with my future Mother-In-Law.

Hopefully my constant babbling isn’t enough to make her take pity on her son! Hehehe.

I am enjoying spending this time with her as I know that we won’t get to spend time together constantly after the move, considering we will be across the other sides of the country to each other.

Well, since leaving work & Batemans Bay well over 2 weeks ago, I had a busy few days to begin with.

On Sunday 12th June I left Batemans Bay to meet our eldest brother & my 2 adorable nieces at Nowra, where our other brother lives. We left mum in their capable hands & travelled back to Sydney listening to Gwen Stefani’s “Holla Back Girl” almost on repeat for the whole of the trip!

The girls have become quite attached to this song & its all I heard for the following 24 hours! They stayed with us overnight to much delight for me. H has a new way of singing the edited part of the song.. which is “B for Bananas, B A N A N A S!” LOL Very cute!

On Monday 13th June, we all got up bright & early in the crispy cold morning to head down to DOuble Bay where my meeting with the prospective Employers of the Baby Shop took place over a Cuppacino. It went well & I was quite confortable chatting with the owners. Their 2 children are georgous & if I don’t get employment with them, it was definately wonderful meeting them.

That was early in the morning, so we spent the rest of the day going here & there in the car, walking along clifftops at The Gap & stopping to get treats from a Chinese Bakery & taking them to a park for afternoon tea. It was a lovely way to spend the day & I do hope the girls enjoyed it before we dropped them home in the evening.

On Tuesday 14th June, my bro & I spent the day driving around St George & Canterbury/Bankstown suburbs viewing properties for rent. Nothing realy took my fancy, although 2 properties were to my liking. One we only were able to view the outside front of, as the agent gave me the address whilst driving around & he was tied up & couldn’t meet us there with the keys. The other property was in the middle of shops in Padstow. Its backyard was so huge that I felt too overwhelmed just looking at it from the back of the house. The house itself is VERY well maintained for its age. I did find looking through the house made me imagine where pieces of our furniture would lay. LOL

I made no attempt to apply for leasing any of these properties though, so for Dean & Myself, it’s basically back to square one. Because we are flying back in on Thursday 30th June, we will start looking at properties as of July 1st. Thanks to my bro who has offered to accomodate us for a time until we get a lease signed. If we didn’t have a place to stay I would have been a wreck by now from all the stress! LOL

On Wednesday 15th June, I was at the airport around 8.30am to check in, went to the end of the Virgin Blue Terminal where i could sit & relax & watch the incoming & outgoing planes from the large viewing windows. I boarded the aircraft around 9.25, 10 mins after the scheduled boarding time. We sat for what felt like an almost eternity, before making a very long taxi out & joined the cue behind 3 other aircraft waiting for take off.

The flight wasnt’t too bnad considering I was surrounded in the back of the plane by lots of children. Most being under the age of 3! They all did very well considering a majority of the children were flying for the very first time int heir young lives.

Once landing on Western Australian soil, Mum greeted me at the baggage claim carousel & off we went towards my home for the following 2 weeks & 1 day.

It was wonderful greeting my baby when he finally arrived home from work. To feel all the anxiety & pressure lift in that first embrace was magical indeed. I am looking forward to my relaxing time ahead here.

So I guess I don’t have a great deal of news for everyone at this post, except for 1 important thing which has taken a lot of pressure off of us both. Dean got his Transfer through from KAS NSW! Although we don;t know fine details as yet of pay, hours/days to work & what date to start, it is definately a good step in the right direction to progress.

Congratulations baby, I Love You! XxXxXxX
