As you can see I have some catching up to do with my Blog. Something that I hope to do over the coming weeks. So much has happened just in the past 2 weeks that it makes my head spin let alone what's been happening since mid November my last bog entry (as I update I'll try to put them in chronological order .

The biggest news!! We begin our new Overseas adventure on the 19th January 2007. Flying out of Sydney we get into Amsterdam Saturday 20th. Marcel has a 6 month contract working in the Netherlands. We still can't believe it but it becomes more real as we pack up our belongs for storage, book airplane tickets and plan to say goodbye to our dear family and friends here in Australia.

Despite the hectic pace I'm feeling surprisingly relaxed and on top of things. Goes to show that the past 2 years of planning is paying off big time. We are so excited about this change and anticipating the culture shock and wanting a complete change to our Aussie lifestyle. We have so much we want to see and experience! What a blessing to be able to do it this way by savouring a whole different world over a longer period of time.

Will keep you posted as we go along ...... love Shelso xxx
