So long and thanks for all the fish.

Our moving date has been pushed forward and not even half the house is packed. I am about ready to kiss Alice's nice feet in appreciation for all the loose ends that she is tending to right now. She is even coming in on Saturday just to help and be there. I am going to miss her so much. She really is the best.

I will not miss Joburg, and there is really no reason for any of us to ever come back here. I am going to miss my mom and my brother and Alice and our friends. I am going to miss my job, I love it here. I love my boss, Janine. She is just too wonderful. Everyone has promised to come visit us and some of our closest friends came over to tell us that they are ALSO moving to Cape Town in the next month, so we are just over the moon. I know that my mom will move back there too, I know that she wants to and won't manage without Noah. I think that Granny Annie will also join in. It really is just a matter of time before everyone we love will be there with us, I just know it.

Observatory. Our house is really close to here. And it's amazing. This is Lower Main Rd. The heart of Obs!

Right now, I am drowning in admin. Flights, trucks, leases, insurance, school, banking, deposits, ordering furniture, doing hand-overs at work, packing, selling, buying, searching. Somewhere in all of that, I am also mentally decorating and organizing a killer housewarming party. 

I will be in Cape Town, with the Benjamin on Monday. My Claire has taken off work and she will be there fetching us, taking us, and she will be there when I am handed the keys for my brand new home! Then (my darling pudding) I will make her help me offload boxes, the car, unpack and delegate the movers. I'll throw in some wine and really loud music for good measure. Graeme and Noah arrive on Wednesday, and I want everything ready. I want Noah's bed ready and all his familiar objects to be in the house and I want him to feel like it is home. I want lunch ready, his favorite DVD playing in the background, his pillow and blankie waiting on the couch. 

I am completely and utterly excited. I'm glad that we're giving the boys a better lifestyle. I'm grateful to everyone that has helped us achieve this goal. I still don't 'really' believe that we're moving. And that for the first time in my adult life, I don't have a job. And I don't know why that doesn't completely freak me out, but it doesn't.

I'm going back to school for a bit, part time. I'm going to be writing, part time. I'm going to be doing bits and bobs until I find something suitable or more permanent. I don't know why everything is working out and working out so well. I feel so grateful and appreciative to the universe right now. Please do keep the awesome coming.
