The big move!!
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???!!!)

Not sad at all!
A joy to hear from you and to hear what is happening. Prayers ascending from Down Under for peace and serenity among the madness, and for a most wondrous start to your and the Mister’s life together.
what Ian said : ) my thoughts are with you this week – lots of busy days ahead! and the beginning of a new journey. take care, cross things off your ‘to do’ list, and take comfort in these enormous changes…with all of the support of your friends, family, and wibfolk. you will soon begin creating a new community… and it starts: now.
excited for you and praying. We decided maybe miracles do happen when our phone and broadband transferred the day we moved, tis not sad at all to want to stay in touch.
The possible new job sounds very interesting – our homelessness service is undergoing a review and there are lots of exciting jobs like that in the pipeline
So it’ll be interesting to hear more about that if you get it!
Good luck with the move xxx
ooo no, we had broadband on two days after we moved in, television took another 6 weeks
… gotta keep in touch with the world! Prayers for all the business 
Good luck with the move – hoe everything goes well for you!
Prayers def being put in for you from this direction and virtual hugs being sent to you both. Really hope it all goes well for you and that it soon feels like “home” and the job thing works out how you want it to.
