The house is sold. The baby is born. My immigration stuff is taken care of. We’re ready! We’re moving to **Australia** in September!! We’ve been planning this move for _years_ and we keep delaying because of one thing or another. My father-in-law, though, is having some health issues and both in-laws are desperate to meet their new grandkid. In order to keep us focused, we decided to be back for my MIL’s 70th birthday on September 26th…and we TOLD her, so now we have to be there. We’ve lined up a place to stay while we’re looking for a home of our own, my husband has found a job, and I’m going to start preparing our dog for the trip by March. I’ll have two summers in a row! I can wear a bathing suit while putting up the Christmas lights! I can eat all the Tim Tams I want!! Woohoo! Looks like I’ll have to check out G’Dope pretty soon! Yay!!! (Anyone wanna buy a household of furniture?)
