Right, so within a day or so of my last post we were told we are moving.
I knew marrying into the Military that we could lead some what of a transient life. This move how ever IS wanted unlike some of my other friends who are about ready to kill people at the mo due to there notice of a move.
We are moving down country, closer to some family and friends and closer to the next steps in our lives.
Where we are now, there is no hope in hell of buying the kind of house we would want. Too much money and not enough grass.
Both my MT and I grew up in rural areas so the thought of this is some what exciting.
Living right on a main road, right in the flight path has driven us both nuts over the past 2 years. I didn't realise how glad I am about moving until yesterday when I thought it would be nice to sit in the sun to drink my morning coffee. Problem was, my view was of road workers, trucks and the many cars that drove past. It was sunny, yes but loud so I ended up back inside after all.
Down the line where we are heading is much nicer. Not everyones cup of tea, but it's looking at suiting us just fine.
For the same price as a cruddy 2 bedroom shack up here we can get a 4 bedroom, nice large section without having to see the people next door. We have been looking at the market for almost a year now and it hasn't changed too much.
It almost seems like people are wanting to sell up their family homes and move into smaller more populated places (each to their own I guess) which is really good for us :)
The other thing this move is opening up for us is the plan for children.
At times I'm still so scared of this thought. ME a mother! My MT a father....not that we aren't old enough or wise enough (BAHAHAHAHAHA) but more that it's just such a change to how we live our lives now.
MT said to me not long before he left (Oh yeah, he's away till 4 days before our movers come in.....woooot NOT!) he said "don't worry too much about the distance from everyone, our kids will have wheels for feet" We tend to travel quite a bit. I'm worried in some way about the distance. 5 hours drive from our parents, brothers and sisters, 3 nieces, 2 nephews, a great niece and nephew...but again, we travel lots as it is so it shouldn't be too bad. And hey, people can visit us to because we will have a spare room finally woop woop!
I should go and have some lunch and clean some more.
It's kinda scary how clean the house manages to stay with just the one of us home :)
Byee
