Car's gone, Stuff's gone . . nearly time for us to be gone

Hi All,

As the title says, the car is gone

and the boxes are gone! (plus a wardrobe and Pram).

I am now starting to get excited, happy, sad, nervous . . .a whole range of emotions!

Excited: because this is a new start, a new adventure, something I have been wanting to do for a long time and is long over due though I could not have imagined having Jasper anywhere else but Perth surrounded by my amazing supportive friends and family.

Happy: with myself, happy with life and ready to get out there and get started on the next chapter of life.

Sad: saying goodbye to family and friends and places which are so familiar to me. I know I often say it but I am truely blessed to have amazing family and friends with out whom I would not be the person I am today. They are there for myself and now Jasper, through the good and the bad times. I have people I know that I could pick up the phone and they would come over in an instant, I have others I can ring if I just need to off load and go through things in my head, I have people who are always up for an outings, others who allow me to drag them to what ever I feel like doing.
Basically I am leaving behind people who just get me, and accept me worts and all. People who have played a part in Jaspers life from the very begining and I am truely going to miss them so much! (okay getting tears as I type this)
I know though that in the modern age we live I am only a phone call, picture msg, facebook, skype, msn, blog, video call away . . .and 5 hour plane ride :-P~~
(I have people booked in for visits already and I can't wait for all of you to come over and let me show you my new state and home)

Nervous: as with any new begining or step into the unknown I have that nervousness of will it be a good move for myself and my son. Will we find new friends, find a job ( I have an interview when I am over setting up the house), how long will it take to find my way around, will the new daycare by anywhere near as good as the one here, how long will it take to start feeling like our "new home", will I be okay with Jasper on my own with no one else around . . .

So as you can see I have a whole range of emotions and things going around inside my head and heart, however I can say with out a doubt that I know this is the right thing and the best thing for us at this stage in life. Its time to head out and explore some more of what's out there.

Car goes today!

Hi All,

D day is fast approaching!!
I drop my car off today to be trucked across country to Brisbane, which should mean its there for me when T and I get over there on the 26th.

I am starting to get a little stressed with packing and what is coming and whats staying etc . .

Its all becoming so real as I start saying goodbye to friends and getting well wishes through! I do truely know it will be great for us, it doesn't make it less sad saying goodbye to family & friends.
I know too that we will be back for visits lots I am sure, and I have friends planning to come over and see us :-))

My Mum is now coming up to Perth to watch Jasper for most of the time I am away setting up the house with T, this way he can stay in daycare for the week and Mum gets some time to visit friends and relax. It also means I don't have to take Jasper for his last day of daycare something I am dreading doing as I know it will be an emotional goodbye . . I know I will get sad saying goodbye to them on the last day I pick him up too.

We have had a busy few weeks with social catch ups both with Family and Friends :-))
The Saturday just past was Fairday which marks the start of the Pride Festival in Perth, we had a great day out in the sun catching up with friends and saying some goodbyes. It actually went better then I expected :-))

It is also making me very reflective, this is to be expected I guess when one is going through belongings and saying goodbye to a chapter of our lives. Any readers who can relate?

Jasper continues to thrive . . .though being slightly sooky!! He has had a few of the bigger teeth coming through so as you can imagine lots of pain and crying.
He is starting to transition up to the bigger room at daycare, he is so small compared to the others in there . .I hope the donor height gene's kicks in soon!!

Work is very slow as they have hired a replacement for me already and I have been instructed to get people to contact her, this means I get time to blog :-P~~

Love to All
