from amongst the packing boxes!
Yes we are moving again.
Yes we are going interstate again. Back to our home state, but not to our home town.
We are heading for the Illawarra region this time, to the coast.
We’ve been quite happy here. I love the community centered, friendliness of Wodonga. And I’ll miss all the groups we’ve gotten involved in and the friends we have made but we need to go.
The cosmos told me so.
We always planned on heading to the South Coast eventually. It was a vague, sometime-after-the-kids-have-finished-school type plan.
Then a few things happened – one of my besties moved to the South Coast and her hubby’s cancer became terminal. He only has months left and I want to be near her. PSLS’s work situation changed and he is only casual at the moment so free to leave if he wants, our lease expired and the real estate hasn’t gotten around to drawing up a new one yet, so again we are free to leave, then another friend said we could rent his house at a reduced rate if we took care of his animals for him…
The timing of it all we took as kismet.
Obviously meant to be.
So we are saying goodbye to Victoria and heading to the beach in about four weeks time.
Oh, except for the eldest teen who wants to stay here and has already moved out.
Its going to be another year of lots of changes, adjustments, exploring, and settling in.
I can’t wait!

We will practically be on your doorstep then! I’d love to join everyone at the next local bloggers catch up. Thanks for commenting xx
Sounds exciting! I’m getting itchy feet, too. I wonder if this year will be the year when I finally leave the state?

Moving is painful, but also exciting. Itchy feet aren’t necessarily a bad thing!
