Slightly Disappointed

so we got our e-tickets today and I'm a little disappointed (is that bad??) because we are flying economy class and have really bad seat allocations. I would have thought that a company that is making truck loads of money each year and who want J to come work for them would at least have given business class seats. I know that most of these companies have policies to fly employees in business class if the flight is over 4 hours long. Maybe this company doesn't? still they want us to come over for 2 nights, I would have thought that they would want to make a good impression, instead we will be sleep deprived and jet lagged!! anyway I'm sure it will still be good!
Rant over for the day!!!

Dates! We have dates!!!

So the site visit has finally arrived!!

I woke up this morning and checked J's email on my phone, saw and email from Canada and was like "J, get up and check your email before I go to work, surely there must be something there!!" and of course there was. So the site visit has been organised for the end of September!

eeekkkkk I'm soo excited. but we fly all the way over to Canada for 2 nights, 2 NIGHTS, and then fly all the way back here!! but it's going to be great!!! I can't wait to see the town, and it will be early Autumn so it shouldn't be too cold.

mmmm maple syrup .......

The count down to moving country continues

Yikes!

I was starting to doubt if this was really happening, we hadn't heard anything. Did we really imagine that Canada was a possibility? Were they just playing with us? So many doubts creeping in.

And then we get an email to say that dates for the look see would be emailed this week. Yay! I'm so excited, I think I'm already there in my head!

Now I just need to play the waiting game until the tix for Canada.....

Aug 12

So I've been looking at maps of the area in Canada I could be moving to! It looks nice, nice in a good way, not nice in a "umm yeah that's really nice" kind of way. There are a bunch of little towns in the area and a massive lake with little islands. I'm getting very excited about the thought of going there. But I can't believe it's only 2 weeks til I head to London, and see one of my greatest friends get married....very exciting. Then back home for a few days then over to Canada for a look see. I must admit I'm kind of freaking out a whole lot at the amount of work I have to do before I go because september is going to be a total write off work wise!
On a completely different topic I got an email from someone that I haven't heard from in ages, it was kind of weird. Not entirely sure what to do about it. Oh well, it's just something else to think about!
Until next time

Aug 8th 2010 - it begins

Good evening.

So I have jumped in and decided to write a blog. Why? I'm not entirely sure, maybe as a way to process all the stuff floating around in my mind. I seem to have a very full plate at the moment, but really who doesn't?

I guess the biggest thing is that in possibly 3 months, yikes that's 12 weeks, we (my husband J, and I) will be moving. Not just any moving but moving country! When I start to think about what that involves I feel more than slightly sick! I currently live in a not too big not too small city in the southern part of Australia and could be moving to a very small (less than 5000) town in central Canada!

I also work for my parents at out family business, which has it's own set of stresses, even if I didn't leave. In fact my dad is already acting like I'm not at work anymore, which is very frustrating. But I also think it will be exciting to leave, start anew, be someone that isn't defined by what my parents do. The thought of that is exciting, a little enticing and also a little scary.

Anyways, so I thought I would write down my experiences of moving country and see how it goes. The first step is a site visit which will happen in 6 weeks, and then if that goes to plan then moving 6-8 weeks after that.

So here goes....
