crazy time

WOW! its been awhile! so we r up in north queensland, with all the floods, heat and cyclones lurking around and i'm itching to get out of here and down into our new home down in victoria! Ive got my eyes on place in particular it has so many simularities to where we lived in nsw! So its definately a awesome place for us, not far from the city 15kms or so.. theres tons of schools and shopping, banks and all the stuff we need. It will mean us walking a bit more to get to places, but then thats cool with me! (i can do with all the help i can get right now) So we r looking into the surroundings of this suburb and found a few places very close to one another (like a walk down the road from each other) and all in a reasonable cost for us too! So thinking of flying down on the friday, staying the night somewhere... doing something with our luggage and then going off to real estate agents and asking for the key to inspect this place i want! filling out the forms and waiting for that call back.. this house is available on the friday so getting keys on saturday wont be a problem.. its just what to do with our 'travelling house' (the luggage) its been good staying with james parents (inlaws) and Tia has grown to get to know them all and have a bit of fun altho she isnt much into the cuddles n kisses with them... lil kids can be so weird like that.. anyways God has been good to us up here and my inlaws have been so great... altho i have been a brat alot to them.. ah shucks!!!! the weight has been piling on, its pretty bad.. all that hard work, sweat and tears (eating healthy and not the crap) has gone to waste.. bugger! i have been under sooo much stress it isnt funny.. im sure ive lost 10yrs of life just in stress... crap! ah well all can be gained back when we finally settle in our own place.. and all we have a tiny budget. centrelink stink! ^^ but thats what u get i suppose... it not just living expenses u recieve its more like compensation for going thru all their mistakes, blunders and 1 person saying stuff that ws different to the person u talked to the previous day.. and letters sent late but dated 5 days ago?! AARRRGHHH!!!! weve called up sooo many times! >< its meant to be settled today.. but we shall see... as we have heard all that and other stories before... i'm sure to them a family of 3 is meant to live off $230 a fortnight... lucky we dont have to pay rent!!!!! rant over... *sigh* did i mention our house is in our suitcases? we have inflatable mattresses and stuff.. no fridge, microwave and stuff like that.. so it will mean paying off the debt of getting down there and getting a place and then looking at fridges and getting some of the stuff we didnt sell shipped down! lol! we will have a xbox 360 but no tv! lol! >< spent a night on magnetic island with james in a bungalow... it rained the next day and i was missing Tia alot... the ferry ride was very queasy with the high swell (townsville has no waves.. it also has mud and not sand!) and of course in townsville when its stinking hot the stingers, sting rays and sharks, crocs r out at the beach... a bus fare here 1 way is $5! and they only come here like 5 times in 24hrs... its nuts! >< the only way to live up here is to own and drive a car and work most of 24hrs in a day as its sooo boring! (it doesnt help that we have to wait around for centrelink each day and have no money anyways to do anything and cant really buy anything as we already paid $98 in excess luggage in sydney on the way here) and shops are shut on sunday WTH?! ok townsville rant over... im going to miss my wonderful inlaws... they have been awesome.. wish they lived more south tho! my parents r moving to canberra from newie! yay! its been a long time comming! so that will make them closer again to us in melb. weve been thinking, planning and dreaming alot up here.. alot of our first planning seems so crazy! the whole thing is crazy! But God is in control so everything seems to be working out! ^^ i hate saying goodbye so ... wow i did a really bad job at that... somehow with alot of mis-information most of church believes we r moving to brisbane?! to be closer to the inlaws.. but yeah.. dunno how they got that idea! Its melbourne!!! should really finish telling people.. altho i dont really have a way to contact them anyways.. ah well.. have to re-focus and pay off debt and loose weight.... plan to start trying for a lil boy around october this year... and i plan on making that pregnancy much healthier than i was with Tia... hopefully i will have more brains when it comes to cravings and instant lazy take away food. I just cannot wait to settle! James can start looking for a job once we get down there as the distance and the fact that we arent already down there and nothings cemmented that no-one looks at his resume/letter twice!
