We've given up our jobs, we've sold our unit ...
Now we're ready to live life - a caravan, a car, just the two of us . . . the possibilities are endless.

Come join us on our adventures ...

We near the finish line... at work anyway

I'm now a week out from my last day at work, and as you can imagine, getting extremely excited!  

It's such a strange feeling after working full time for the majority of my adult life.  With this excitement naturally comes a little apprehension .. for a moment anyway .. then the excitement comes over me in a wave (like a tsunami!!) and I'm ready for what the universe may send my way.  Bring it on I say!!

Our unit is still sitting lonely - ready for someone to come and love it as much as we did.  I am confident that it will be snatched up very soon.  

In the meantime, we've been keeping very busy with the caravan.  Aaron had his first go at backing the caravan down the driveway - which I might add is not your normal straight driveway - we're talking steep, winding road - with steep embankments down one side.  I must say, rather proudly, he did pretty darn good  - and managed to get it down in one go.  It's now sitting just next to our shed that we're living in now - together with many spiders and insects.  I am still amazed at how much of a spider web magnet I am - no matter where they may be hiding, no matter who has walked before me, I ALWAYS seem to end up swinging my arms like a mad woman trying to get the spider webs off me .. I can only imagine how ridiculous I look!  In the 2 days the caravan has been parked outside our shed (rather than up the top of the driveway), we have already taken all the doors off, pulled the wall out near the door and checked all the lighting.

We've now made a list (which is much, much longer than anticipated!!!) of things to fix and buy before we set off on our adventure... so far we've managed to tick a few off, which is quite satisfying :)

So after next week, I will be a housewife, looking after my husband and getting all ready for our trip.. which will now be a few months later than first anticipated.. but gives us longer to prepare .. yay!  Life is good.. no, life is great!!
