Thoughts and Updates

Hi All,

I am typing this in a sleep deprived state with a puffy face, so if there are spelling errors and gramatical errors . . .don't bother telling me!! :-P~~

Sleep deprived because Jasper woke every two hours or so last night to cry for a bit then fall back asleep . . .at times I do wish our bedrooms were at oposite ends of the house!
Puffy face is from some treatment I am having done on my face for Rosacea . . think hot elastic band flicking on your skin constantly and that describes the treatment OWWEEE!

On a much happier note, the lease is all signed, the bond paid and the bond form lodged for my new house. The car is booked on a truck to leave a few weeks before I go over the first time, so that T and I can use it for furniture shopping etc.
The boxes are booked on a different truck to leave a week after the car so that they will hopefully arrive so that we can unpack them and get it all done before I go back for good with Jasper.

Life has been busy but not too hectic, which is nice. The weekend just past was Jaspers scheduled Auntie T sleep over, which meant I got to lay in bed and read on my new kindle Sunday morning before going out for lunch with my oldest friend JL.
Now JL isn't my oldest friend as in her age, we have infact been friends since we were 8 years old!! It occured to me as I drove to meet her for lunch that we have been friends for about 21 years, isn't that CRAZY.
I also had a lovely meal out with my sister in law and we went and saw the new Drew Barrymore movie Going the distance on Friday night. Lunch on Sat Jasper and I met another friend for lunch in Freo before allowing Jasper to run around what I think must be his fav playground The Esplanade in Freo.
Dinner Sat night I had cooked for me by another friend before we watched a dvd . .
I am so blessed with amazing friends and family (I know I constantly say this however it is just so true!!)

I did also have time to do some house organising and premoving culling, including packing up all of my books to give away to various friends and family, as I have decided apart from my small collection of Amish Fiction books and my Harry Potter books the rest can go! Otherwise I either have to pay to store them or pay to send them over . . .and as I don't know where I will be heading after my year is up at the house in Albany Creek I don't want to have excess stuff.

Cool Swing!                                         New Converse shoes: Auntie T         Showing some leg!

I have my Mum coming to stay with us for 3 nights over the weekend which I am looking forward too, its nice to see her get some time to relax and spend time with her children and her grandchildren :-))

Fathers Day I had Dad stay with us and got everyone together for a Fathers Day BBQ breakfast which was really nice too and for some reason I didn't get any pictures? Probably because people tend to groan when you get a camera out . . .

Before I go I must thank AG who gave me Jaspers completed 1st Birthday party dvd, it was nice to watch and is something that I will treasure THANK YOU!!

Love to All

Move over Canda, Gold Coast here we come!!

Hi All,

As you can see from the title and also from my facebook status I have finally made my decision . . .well actually Jaspers Paed made my decision.

I got Jaspers blood test results back and the Dr called to go through them with me, everything showed up as fine his iron, white blood cell count etc. However his Allergy test was slightly higher then it should be, which at this stage of his young life just means that he has an allergy . . .no idea to what yet but its nothing really bad or else he wouldn't be as happy and healthy as he is.
The slight allergy with the Laryngomalacia coupled with cold weather wouldn't make for a very happy healthy environment for my little man so the warm sunny weather here we come!

Of course there were a few other factors like money for medical expenses in a foreign country etc which came into it too :-))

This means I have tickets to cancel, accomodation to cancel and removelist quotes to get. I don't see the point of putting things into storage and paying for that I may as well just send it all over with us including my car.

Stay tuned for suburb research, housing research etc.

Anyone with cross country moving advice please leave me comments or anyone else who just wants to comment on this please do :-))

Love to All
