Many of our friends and family are aware that Anthony & I are taking the big leap....no, not marriage, we already did that, just last year in fact. You could probably still call us newlyweds. We decided to make an investment in our future.....no, not the purchase of a home, we already did that too, in fact, I just wrapped up selling it a few weeks ago. We are MOVING!! And not just across the state lines, not even across the borders, but halfway around the world and on the other side of the equator! We're Australia bound!!
Anthony has actually been in Melbourne, Australia since the beginning of July, getting settled into a different job at his current company. We'd been talking about moving overseas for a couple years now actually plus the idea of downsizing to be more mobile. This was just the push that we needed to actually pull the trigger and sell a lot of stuff that we could have easily lived without and our house, which was probably too big for us. So while Anthony was enjoy the nice cool winter in Melbourne, I was suffering in the 100+ degrees Texas weather to put our house on the market, get it sold, then move to an apartment. It probably wouldn't have been too bad but you tack on 3 high energy dogs into the mix and it was time consuming and extremely tiring!! But after all the tears, blood(you should see how often I cut or bruised myself moving stuff!) , and heartache, in the end it was worth the effort.
We decided having a blog would be a good way for our friends and family back in the States and Asia to see how thing are progressing and what new adventures we find ourselves in Australia. As we make our way through a huge change in the way we live our life, I hope in the end, this decision to move will make us richer....in love and life.
So stay tuned! We'll update as often as we can!!
