I am still here!!! I have been in Guernsey for a week and The Mister and his Mum joined me at the weekend. It has been lovely to have some time at home and just do a few bits and pieces towards the wedding, whilst also seeing my family. So, we fly home today and then it is all systems go with the move. The Mister and I go back to my flat today, pack everything up and my parents arrive with a van on Thursday which we then have to pack, drive up to Leeds and on Friday we will unpack the van before Mum and Dad come back down to catch the boat back to Guernsey on Sunday. Should be a busy few days!!
I have to admit that I am still pretty anxious about the move. Not because I don't want to go, but it is such an enormous change. I haven't had to develop a whole new community for about 10 years, so this is going to be a test of how good I am at making new friends! I am sure it will be fine, it will almost certainly be easier if I find a church to get involved with. I have to admit though I am quite liking not having a job at the moment! But (before The Mister starts shouting in my ear that I have to get a job) I have applied for a job in Leeds working with the homelessness team as a drugs worker. Looks like it would be quite an interesting job. The closing date is next week so we will wait and see what happens.
So, this is a week of enormous changes. I would appreciate your prayers that the move goes well, that I don't have a complete nervous breakdown and that The Mister and I are truly able to enjoy the start of our new life together.
(I am hoping we will be online as soon as we move in - broadband was one of the first things we got sorted out... how sad is that???!!!)
