Something different this way comes

About six weeks ago, Brilliant Husband (henceforth known as BH) and I were on holidays in Melbourne and talking about how much we'd love to live there 'one day'. We'd rent our house out up here, trial renting down there for a year, and if we loved it, we'd move permanently. Not anytime soon though - probably in 2-3 years, before Rhino started school.

We returned home to find BH's contract was not to be renewed and he had two weeks before work would be finished. As he tells me this, the very next words out of his mouth were 'we should seriously look at Melbourne'.

One month later and we have a house in Melbourne. Jobs for both of us. Care for Rhino whilst at those jobs. Our house up here has been rented out. 52 boxes are packed (and counting!). It really is happening.

I'm not the greatest at keeping a blog, but with leaving people behind whilst moving closer to others - it's the best way to keep everyone in the loop of what's going on. I'll try updating this whenever we've got news to share or fun titbits of the entire journey.

Stay tuned...

  2. Agree totally with Capricious! Will miss you so much but am thrilled that you are able to have this adventure with BH and your littlest Rhino! (Now I know how my mum felt when I went to live in NZ when I was 17!)

    Go gently through world, knowing that God loves you and will guide you as you seek Him, and that your mum's heart is bursting with love and pride for you. I love you big as the sky, Smanarshatarsh! xx
