End Of A Chapter

As you may have gathered my girls and I have relocated back to Australia for good. MrL is soon to follow, don't you worry about that. The three years spent in Abu Dhabi I look back with fondness and that city and I will always be connected due to the fact that our Lily was conceived and born there. I'm pretty sure we had to go there to have our Lily. That's the way I look at it.

Then there came a point, about mid way last year, when MrL and I decided we had kind of had enough. Not that we were hating it but we came to the conclusion that a country like that isn't real. It's hard to understand unless you've lived there. Some people love that kind of lifestyle, others do not. We enjoyed it whilst it lasted but wanted more for our girls, especially Lily. We wanted to share with Lily what we got to share with Monet when we originally lived in Australia.

When a job in Cairns was advertised in which MrL was qualified for and fitted the bill in what he wanted to do, well after a lengthly process and many Internet interviews the job was his.

So with a villa lease up in mid January, it made sense for the girls and I to leave Lily's birth country, headed for country Victoria to stay with family and reconnect with long time friends. MrL had to give two months notice and with the new job beginning after Easter in our town we consider 'home', every thing fell into place. He is currently batching long(short?) term in a hotel on Yas Island.

Which leads us to today.

MrL will be boarding a plane in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, bound for Cairns. The girls and I are bound for Cairns on Monday and arrive a couple of hours before him. He is there with us for a week to help us settle in and organize stuff that will need organizing. He returns to Abu Dhabi for another month but then will be back for good.

That's when our new chapter begins and I can't wait. :)

You Know I'm Still Here

As nice as it is spending time in country Victoria, dividing our time between my parents any my in-laws, I'm pretty much convinced I couldn't live in this state. If it's not the weather I'm whinging about (it's summer and it is unseasonably freezing!), it's the thought (& sight) of big hairy huntsman spiders that's doing my head in. *heehee*

However, the girls have been having a blast here. I've noted that Lily has spent more time outdoors here in Australia over the past month than in her entire life span of two and a half years. She loves being outside and is constantly asking to go out no matter what the weather.

We are off on our next port of call in a little over two weeks. But I'll keep you posted on that.

(mind my first experimental post using my iPad).
