The ups and downs of our planned new life to NZ, warts and all!

As one chapter closes...Wed 12 September 2007

The the house is a complete mess.  Mr Rentals came and took our fridge, tvs, washing machine and dryer.   I feel empty!  I just managed to complete my washing.  We're eating our way through food and drinking all the beer - its a tough job but someone's got to do it!  I feel sad about it.  This morning I took the rubbish out and it was still very early.  There was dew on the grass, it was incredibly peaceful.  Everyone that has come to the property has commented on the land.  They say how wonderful it is and then they see the pool and gasp!  Yep, we were pretty proud of our 'home.'  Moons is very unsettled, she is playing up and being extra loud - which usually happens when she's nervous.  Poor girl.  I am VERY excited about our move - I can't wait to begin a fresh in Wellington - no regrets at all.  But it is a sad chapter that closes tonight.  Its a little unsettling that we move from here to a holiday rental and all of our stuff that we've collected goes into storage but at least it means we have time to find the ideal property.  We're moving into the unknown.  Its unsettling for all of us, even the dog is clingy and lies with her  head on her paws, her head tilted, trying to work out what its all about.  Sometimes Steve and I are laughing together, other times we're ripping each other to shreds!  We're pretty fed up with all this moving and I crave my own home.  I can't wait to sort that out! 

To summarise tonight in the house....There is no calm.  There is only hope.  The hope that this time, things will come together for us.


Hoping for you too!Wed 12 September 2007
Good luck with the move, and through all the stress now, look forward to sorting yourself out on arrival in Welly. Sending some 'good vibes' out to you now!

Once you get to Welly you'll all, including the dog, be "sweet as" I'm sure. Best of luck to you all.XXX
