Sasha is home and we moved into our house

So we picked up Sasha from the airport on sat (21st may) and she was so pleased to see us and we were so glad to have her back, she looked well fed and happy so I needn't have worried about her!!! we have now moved into o9ur new house and it is great the kids have a great garden to run about in they are so happy. things are going well and its been 3 weeks now and we are FINALLY getting to the stage where we can start to enjoy it more. It has been such a hectic 3 weeks getting organised and kids starting school etc we haven't stopped but it is all worth it in the end!!

2 Weeks in and all is well

Hiya all just an update on how things are going down under for us!! well we been here 2 weeks today and all is well. we have got a couple of cars and kids started school last thurs and absolutley love it. They have made many friends and have settled really well. Darren has got a job and starts on the 30 May and is looking forward to it. I am waiting for my qualifications to be assessed to find out wether or not I need to do something else eg: a course to become qualified as a social worker etc!!! I am ion no rush to find work at the moment though and we have been thinking that I will stay at home with the kids until after xmas and then look for a job. we have found the most amazing house to rent and it is actually a spooky tale. On the 2nd day we arrived we went out looking for cars and we got lost!! we ended up in the hills on a lovely street where we both said we would love to live. The next day i went looking on the net at rental houses and one looked great so when I looked at where it was it was on the exact same street that we got lost on and the best thing is that it has been empty since we moved out of our house in the UK how wierd is that!!! we move into it next fri and even though we will have nothing in it as our furniture doesn't arrive until end June we are not bothered.
The weather here is fab it is winter next week and the coldest day we have had has been 20 degrees they do say it is unusual at this time of year and they are in dire need of rain for the farmers to plant next years crops but hey I am not complaining!!! Adelaide is a truly wonderful place and a very vibrant city. We both feel very settlerd here already and have deffo made the right decision. even the kids have said they don't feel as if we are in australia as it is very similar to uk as in driving and language etc but is very different in a lot of ways too.
We are due to get our much loved Sasha back on saturday and we are all really excited about it as it means we aree all here and complete but we have missed her so very much (well me especially anyway!!)

We had a long and tiring flight here but it was well worth it. We are in temporary accomodation at the moment but have rental properties lined up to view so hopefully we will be in our own house soon. We have just biught our first car a bule Holden Jackaroo 3.5 V6!! it is like a tank but it is what everyone drives here nd it is great!!! The kids will soon be starting school and hopefully Darren will get a job soon!! All is great and we are all settling well!!!
