So Long... Farewell...

So we are officially on the move. I must be honest, I havent really had time to think about it all properly yet and register that we are going.

The pack and uplift (army term for 'removal') went well. You should have seen the size of the packing containers our stuff was loaded on!! We will have photos to upload and show when we arrive in Canberra. Our stuff is going by rail to Canberra, should be there by now. We have been totally blessed with some wonderful things to set up our home with.

For those who gave money for our wedding this is what we have been able to purchase so far:

* An Iron (Platinum Iron - Mark needs it to be good for his uniforms)
* A Kettle
*A Wiltshire Knife Block & Set of Knives
* A New Pillow For Mark

In Canberra we plan to purchase:
* Bookcases (too hard to purchase here and ship over)
* A Small TV
* A Fridge/Freezer
* Internet Connection
* Personal Wills
* A Spare Bed (For Guests!)

And.... A DOG!!! :D Yay!! Weve decided to get a dog, something medium sized, from the pound of course (we want to save a beautiful life from there) that will be loving as well as protective while Mark's away. Some company for me and hopefully will help us to go on daily walks together in the evenings.

We leave next Tuesday and we'll arrive and collect the keys on Wednesday arvo - that's all be finalised now. As my mum pointed out the other day, 6 must be our lucky number. Our engagement party was the 6th September, wedding was the 6th of December and we move interstate on the 6th of January. Funny, hey?

We have a wedding in Sydney on the 10th Jan (my cousin) and Mum, Dad & Laura (sister) will be coming down from Sydney to visit on the 11th Jan.

Mark and I have a family information induction for army on the 12th and Mark leaves for 8 weeks (minimal to no contact) on the 20th of Jan.

We will attempt to get the internet up and running as soon as we can.

Much love to my beautiful sister and 'sisters', Laura, Angie, Lynette and Wendy, who have been a constant support, encouragement, love and have been through alot with me together.

Hello to Fiona and David, Nick and Aunty Rose and Uncle David, who we know are following along and reading our blog.

So... this is farewell for now. We'll see you on the other side. :)

Much love to you all,
Megan & Mark
