This post is a little late this week, because we have been so busy packing. We did finally get a house, four days before our movers arrived (which is today; they are there now packing the truck). A realtor we were dealing with was totally messing us around, saying he was going to fast track us into a house...for two weeks. In desperation I called another realtor about a house ready for mid August (we figured we would have to take a two week vacation and put all of our belongings in storage), but then this new realtor got us into a house the very next day. It is only a year old, so very modern with a nice kitchen, but it is a little smaller than we would like. We won’t have an area to paint and craft in, which is pretty big for us, and the bedrooms seem to be quite small, so I think this will be a transition house for six months. But we are just so relieved we have a house!
This week we have had to say more goodbyes. The kids had horse riding yesterday and had to say goodbye to Milea and the horses (photos next week), and that was very sad, particularly for Carmie. She cried all the way home. We also had our last play date with the kids’ friends Delphi and Jasper (and their mum Anna), and that was a great play, but then very sad at the end too! Delphi went missing because she was crying out in the back garden, and then Arley and her hid her in the trunk of our car. We took a bunch of photos when we were saying goodbye, and Arley was so grouchy at that point because he just wanted to leave. Delphi ran down the driveway behind us on our way out waving, “Goodbye! Goodbye!” while Carmie sobbed in the back of the car. So super sad.
We made it to our beloved Collers Beach one more time, even though it was quite cold and windy. And other than that, we have just been home packing. I’m glad it’s all done, but I’m not particularly looking forward to the other end!
Arley has been quite good this week, which has been a relief, because I haven’t had much time for nonsense. And poor Carmie has just been plain sad.
We are really looking forward to being up in Coffs, where the weather is warmer, where there is more to do, and we’re looking forward to visiting the learning centre the kids will be attending. And to new adventures!
At Delphi and Jasper’s
