That's right! I got my transfer! I'm really excited but kinda scared at the same time!

People have been asking me 'Why Charleville?'. Well....Ed is going to be coming with me and he has been to Charleville before. He really liked it and suggested it when I was talking about putting in for a transfer. I kinda thought that if he is going to give up everything here to come and spend three years of his life out in the country with me, then we should go somewhere that he wants to be! Also, it is 5 points a year so after 3 years I should have enough points to get me back to where we want to be (wherever that will be!)

So I will be heading off at the start of next year. I have to be there for the 24th of Jan to start work. I think I'll head out a week earlier so that I can settle in and everything before I have to start work. Ed Qld pay for me to move out there so the moving part will be easy. I'll probably also be moving into really cheap teacher accommodation (although I'm sure it will be a crap-box of a house!). Ed is going to come out there with me when I first go to help me settle in, but then he has to come home to finish uni :(. That means I'll be out there for 6 months by myself. I'll be back for school holidays though so it shouldn't be too bad!!!

I'm going to miss everyone here so much. I've decided I need to set up Skype on my computer. I don't know if that is how you spell it...I really don't know much about it other than the fact that I'll be able to talk to people back here for free! You all better make sure you are free on school holidays so that we can all get together!!! Not that any of you will want to...but you are all more than welcome to come for a trip out to us as well! Might make for a good photo shoot (Ricky :) ).

Anyway....on another note.....Nee and Adam get married on Saturday!! YAY!! I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be a great day! Us bridesmaids are going to look so hot! haha......of course not as hot as the boys in their skirts!!! hehe.....and of course they will not be as hot as Nee!!!

I was chatting with Nee about this the other day....when is it, or what is it that makes you suddenly go 'Ok, I'm ready to give up my whole life for someone else and bring a child into this world'?. I know that at the moment there is absolutly no way that I want kids. I'm not at the right stage in my life for that. I have things I want to do with my life for me. I want to be able to run my own life and be selfish. But will that ever change? I can't imagine me ever wanting to give up work (even for a few months) or wanting to put my own life on hold for a baby. I wonder if that I will ever feel differently?

Now on a lighter note....Ed comes home today!!! YAY!!! He's been on some bike ride from Miles to Mooloolabah for the last week and a bit. I've missed him so much. I won't get to see him now until Friday night but I'm still happy to know that as of this afternoon he will be back at home and I can talk to him whenever I want (phone reception out there was crap so I couldn't just call him...plus he was camping so there was nowhere to charge his phone!).

Nee and Adam are getting married in less that three weeks! I am really excited because I think that we are all going to have a great day/night. Us girls are staying at Nee's the night before the wedding as Adam won't be there and we will need to keep her calm!!! We went and tried our dresses on the other night. All 5 of us (Myself, Dannii, Emma, Courtney and Nee's sister) were there so we could get a good idea of what we would look like together. The dresses have turned out awsome! We are all going to look so hot! Not as hot as Nee of course! Today is Nee's bridal shower. I think it is going to be a fairly quiet afternoon which will be nice. Just the girls all chillin' together at Courtney's place. The weather is great so we'll probably sit outside and soak up some sun!

Anyway....enough blabbering for now....Gotta go clean up the kitchen after making a mess cooking breakfast! Bye!!!

Ok so to start with i know I said I would write more....but I've been busy so forgive me!!!

Anyway.....

I've just been re-reading a lot of Ed's blog entries (http://edschache.blogspot.com/) and it got me thinking. Am I the same person that I was a year ago? It's strange.....some of the things that Ed has written about don't seem like him anymore. I guess that's because I know him better now than when I first read the entries but I just can't imagine him being like that anymore. Which is what led me to wonder about myself.

In some ways I think I am the same. I value the same things, like my family and friends and I still enjoy what I do with my life (like my job and things). But in other ways I think I am very different to the way I was a year ago. I feel like I know more about myself, I know what I want out of life, I know where my life is headed. I feel more like an adult that I did a year ago which I guess is due to the fact that I no longer live at home. I guess it feels like my life is falling into place. Even though I feel like this I know I don't really know where my life is headed and that anything can happen. I don't really know where I'm going to be in 10 years time even though I like to think I do.

Anyway,...enough rambling. Now I want to know what you guys think....am I the same person I was a year ago? And do you feel like you have changed in the last year? Not just in the things that have happened to you but in the way you are and the kind of person you are?

Hi Everyone!!!

I'm back......I've decided I need to get back into writing on this thing. It's a good way for me to remember when things happen!!

Here is a quick update:

* We moved into our house. It is great! I'm still not fully unpacked but we are getting there. I'm going to use the holidays to finally finish off unpacking!

*Ed and I are close to celebrating our 1 year anniversary. Things are still amazing. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

* Ed bought me a bike for my birthday!! (oh yeah, I turned 24) I'm slowly learning how to ride it!! It's kinda hard!! They say that you never forget how to ride a bike....that's a load of crap!!! I'm slowly getting there. I'm having trouble getting my head around the gears though. I'll get there......

I guess they are the major things because they are the things that I can think of right now. I'm sure someone will say to me....hey what about this....or what about that!! hehe

Hopefully I'll keep updating this now that I have started again! Bye!!!!!

I haven't done a blog about the house in a while......so here it is

WE GET THE HOUSE NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!! On Friday the 16th of Feb the house is finally ours!! YAY!!!

So at the moment this is where we are at: The tiles on the floor have been put down. All of the lights, fans, taps, oven, cooktop etc have been installed. The driveway, patio and slab for the water tank have been poured today......it's looking great!!!!!

I've put some new pics up if you want to check it out!

My New Zealand blog is fixed!!! - Thanks for reading it without paragraphs Dannii!!!!

I just realised that my last blog will come up as one big paragraph until Ed shows me how to fix it....Sorry!! You can either power through it or wait until it is fxed!
