Talking WOW 2 years Yesterday..

I can't believe that time has flown so fast...

It has been a roller - coaster 2 years with the lows being very low but luckily it looks like things are staying on a high.
We are now very settled and I have to say a big thanks to some of the oldies on here that have helped us along the way. Especially to Hev's who helped during the big lows.
I said that I would give things 2 years then decide if it will be for us.
I am now ready to start cementing life in Melbourne and building a great future for the family. I am now lucky enough to have the lifestyle, friends and home that we have been in search of. All I need now is a to celebrate. Guess I will have to make that meet hey
Again thanks to all and good luck to all of you who are also on the roller coaster.

Congrats Woody & Dev, the first two years can be pretty rocky until you get settled, are you going for citizenship now?

You could become Dame of the Dandenongs now.

Yehh leave the hubby and kids at home

fraid things have been a bit private but all I can say is that although family seems so far away at a time of a crisis their support can seem as if they are just next door.
As for some advise. Homesickness can hit at any time. Never suffer in silence we all know what its like. Don't let the few posters on here put you off posting if things are getting you down. It can't be a bed of roses the whole time. And if things seem very bad meet up with the poms and
