This time last year I arrived in Australia with my life in a suitcase (and one box that i shipped a few weeks earlier). It was incredibly scary and exciting all at the same time. Exams finished and financials in order, I left for greener pastures/ employment opportunities. I was very lucky to be arriving to a warm welcome from Chef Boy and his fab family. I moved in with Chef Boy's parents and became an honorary Irish daughter to them. They kept me fed and watered untill I found my job and got a house of my own. Having all that support certainly made the move that bit easier I must admit and I am very thankful for all their help. Mummy Two Hoots has been very brave this year and has kept herself busy in my absence with quilting.....
I miss all at home - but for now it makes sense to be here where I can get work!
A year on I have accomplished soooo much:
- Still living with Chef Boy - That is a big accomplishment for us both- We havn't killed each other yet!!
- A job
- A visa
- A great little home
- A new car
- An Iphone
- Learnt to sew
- Started blogging
- Made some awesome great new friends
- Kept in touch with old friends at home
- Kitted out the house with furniture
- Survived my first Christmas away from home
- Grown my first vegetable garden and not killed it!
- Graduated from my bachelors
Lots and lots and lots
It was a big year!!
So to celebrate I baked a yummy brekky for chef boy and I last weekend.
