Emotions

Well, it's now just 16 days until we board that one way flight to the other side of the world. It feels very strange. Sometimes it's exciting and sometimes it's very worrying.

It has become very real over the last few days. Until now, it hasn't felt like it was going to happen really, but now we can only plan for the next two weeks. We cannot see past December 5th and have no idea what Australia is going to be like. The girls are coming home from school singing Christmas songs as both schools have started rehearsing for the seasonal performances. I feel sad that they won't actually be in them this year. The "Good Luck" and "Sorry You're Leaving" cards are starting to arrive now, so this has made us feel sad too.

Apart from the anxiety that's creeping us on us, we have had a great few weeks since returning from Florida. We are thoroughly enjoying everyones desire to spend time with us before we leave.

Kevin is still working a few nights shifts on his temporary contract to cover the bills at home. I'm not quite sure what has happened to the idea of me working? Um........too many invitations to lunch probably!
