Default This is it! Flights are booked!

Hi all,

I am so excited. Our flights are now booked, we go on Friday 10th August with Malaysian Airlines via Kuala Lumpur

After all this time it just doesnt seem real that we are actually going. Some of you may know that we were originally moving to Sunshine Coast but due to my hubby's job we needed to be closer to Brisbane and GC so have settled on Cleveland. Kids are provisionally enrolled into Cleveland State schools and are just waiting to exchange contracts on our house.

Good luck to all of you just joining the visa rollercoaster ride - it will be worth it in the end!

Told my in-laws yesterday that the flights are booked and my MIL promptly burst into tears!

She has been very supportive all through this but was has said that she will obviously miss us all. Now it is 'official' she is struggling to come to terms with it but I am sure she will be ok - they are coming over for 3 months in January!!! Hardly enough time to miss us properly!
