#127 (7/5)

The day has arrived!  I can't believe we're taking this journey.  So much to happen.  I'm excited and nervous but also incredibly grateful.  There have been times over the last year when I really didn't think this would happen.  But it has and the fun times are about to begin!

Last day 'at home'.  Went and helped move some wood into a trailer for the Mothers Day stall at school, then we headed back into Wangaratta to sort out a few issues, then it was home for a final pack.  Last day before we leave!  It's getting so close now and we're all excited.

A day in town doing all the final stuff for before we leave on Sunday.  I took Ebony out of school today so we could get to meet the newest member of the Bloomer family - little Fletcher Roy.  I'm grateful today because Eb was so happy to cuddle Fletcher.  She has never shown an interest in little people until today.  That made my heart very happy.

Today was the last day fully at home before we leave to go.  Life seems a bit out of control in some ways, but I have to say that, in packing to go away, it seems that for the first time I can recall, we are way, way under weight for travelling!  That's a huge yay from me!

Well - tonight we did our Pharmacology exam for the Ambulance Service.

I have been nervous for DAYS! I'm so, so, so grateful it's over!...but I'm making a promise to myself to get to know the pharmacology side of things heaps better so I don't go through days like these again!

Today the packing started for our journey to China.

We leave on Sunday and it's taken me a while to feel excited about this trip - but it's now starting to appear.  I'm trying to be very wise with my packing so we don't need to carry much and there's no stress associated with baggage!  

I feel like, thus far, I've achieved what I want!

My little girl and I walked to school today.  I'm so grateful for these times we have together.  Times to walk and talk about the things she wants to talk about.
I'm also grateful that she is happy to walk. The days are getting quite chilly now - but nothing stops this little girl.
