Changes!!

Michelle

Change is really been a huge part of my life over the last months since the new year. It all started last January when Michelle (above) out of the blue said she would like to re-kindle our relationship after 14 years of being apart! I was so surprised I actually asked her to repeat what she had said as I thought I had misheared her question. Well here I am 10 months later sitting in our new home writing this blog. I kept it pretty much to myself here on Multiply apart from a few exceptions and now that I am all settled into a new life I can share it with you all. It is kinda strange after years of thinking and doing all for myself as I am sure many of you would understand, but its a nice journey smoothing over the path of the joys and difficulties of a new relationship. One thing I like is that we already know each other so, so very well that there are no big surprises to test the relationship plus being an instant family of three again no problems arise from a sudden intrusion into our and our daughters life. She is so so happy about it all too as I am sure you again can imagine. Me too!!

The main changes have been leaving my job in Sydney - not that living apart due to my work is not a good thing but we had so much to do, such as making everything new like a new home for the new start and to, for a while anyway, spend as much time together enjoying the fruits of our new life together. It is likely that I will work away from home again but a little closer for the frequent visits. One thing we have both enjoyed is the distance - it brings it's own quality into our relationship. Moving into our new home and buying all new things to go into the home, has taken up so much time. Sorting out the old place and cleaning it up was so much work - we did it all ourslelves and I can tell you it took weeks removing every speck from every corner and fixing up or replacing the bits and pieces that were broken or worn out. Then of course there is the moving part - which again we did ourselves. We did think that replacing all the old with the new would make it easier but crikey that ain't true! But - now we are in - not unpacked - but who cares - we are in!!!!!!! It can stay where it is a while!

Work wise I have no idea what's ahead but I took some time alone down in Tea Gardens for a while, while we did the first bits of the move and now am enjoying a bit of peace and quiet of our hometown from our new home. I will look a bit more earnestly for work sometime soon but I do glance occasionally at whats around but for now, and the next month or so, I am just gonna enjoy the break and looking at where we will put everything we brought with us and the new things we will buy - It is  pity IKEA is so 400km away as they do not do internet sales. Tess is happy in her new abode too - she has a three bedroom flat downstairs more or less to herself and perfect timing as she just finished her school life with just the exams to go. Perfect!!!!!!! Anyway here are some photos of the things I like about the house to share with you.
