Time....

Tomorrow is my last day of freedom. One more day to spend with Dwayne and the kiddies. One more day of giggles and kisses and cuddles. And then I'll be gone.
It's very sad but right now I don't even know what my thoughts are. You wait so long for a day to arrive, and then it does and it still doesn't seem real in a way. I'm not as anxious as I have been, or scared. Right now I seem to be rather calm. I don't know why, seeing as I am leaving my kids for three plus months.
I think it will hit me when I'm saying goodbye to them though. That's the tough part. I'll probably be blubbering half the way down to Hobart, which is where I'll be enlisting. Which is a pain in the butt! A three hour drive. I don't know why it can't be done in Launceston, but I'm sure the defence people have their reasons.
Hmmmmm. I still think I'm a tad bit crazy for doing this. But no turning back now! This is the start of a new life! And THAT'S exciting. (So is the fact that Monday will be my first time on a plane. I know I don't get out much!).
So I guess I won't be blogging for a while. But as soon as I get the chance I will. Goodbye for now my blogging friends. Wish me luck!!!

New Year New ME


Well the title says it all. This year is the start of a new beginning. A new life for me and a new life for my family. As scary as it is it's going to be so good for us. And I'm excited too. Because within six months my little family and I will have moved states, be on better money and be happier overall. Just us. No one to try to please, no one to explain our decisions to, and no one to tell us that we are doing the wrong thing.

We matter, not the people that don't believe in us.

This is what we are doing, and theres no turning back. I couldn't even if I wanted to as Dwayne has quit his job and there'd be next to no chance of getting it back. It's already taken.

However we've just found out that his work may be shutting down completely in two weeks anyway. To me that's another sign showing us we're headed in the right direction. This is all happening so fast but I believe it's because this is what we are meant to be doing.

Those that support us do so one hundred percent. And those that don't have just shown that we are better off without them. And that should be a lesson to all, in any situation.

So here is to a fresh start, a new life and happy days ahead.

Happy new year everybody! :)
