NO Turning Back NOW!!


Well we have been SOOO busy this past week. Justin got home last weekend and since then we have been frantically organising everything: from the house rent/sale, to the removals (thankfully we didn't have to pack anything!!), to getting on the plane (thanks Tracey!!!!). Everything was packed up into two containers very tightly and I am so glad that we didn't have to do that... I could not believe how quickly they packed everything up... They were so efficent and fast... things were packed before you realised, and things that i wanted to bring with us are now on their way to Darwin... I was surprised at how draining it was to watch others pack up our house... so I can only imagine that those people go home very tired everyday.
The house looked massive after it was completely cleared of all our belongings... and once it was professionally cleaned (yes we cheated... but the Navy gave us money to it!!) the house looked great... and we wondered why we were moving out so keenly and why we had decided to sell the house... The pergola and backyard looked fantastic and so inviting and of course it wasn't windy!!! ... But those feeling apparantly overwhelm everyone... and I didn't cry or get emotional over the house... (I was more upset about the Territory getting picked up the week before????) so I am positive I must be ready to move on and have some new experiences......
