The glorious south-west, we miss you WA!

This week marked one month since our epic trek across the country to make Brisbane our home.

Ok, maybe epic is overstating it, but this time last month as I geared up for the last week in my office, I felt overwhelmed.

I was staring down the barrel of packing, cleaning and winding up our lives in one house, while planning, packing and getting set for our lives all the way across the country.

In one week.

Saying goodbye to friends, colleagues and the lives we had made for ourselves in sunny Perth. We donated, sold, gave away and gifted over half of what we owned.

Simplifying our lives as we prepared to head East.

As we embarked on what turned out to be a huge clean up, I found myself realising how much had happened, how much had changed since we moved to sunny Perth in 2008. I began to realise our kids weren’t babies anymore, we were now a family with no pets (how we miss our girls), and that it was a good time, the right time to be closer to family.

As I mopped the floor one last time, while the kids burned off their nerves/ excitement, I took the time to think about all the great times we had exploring sunny Perth, and looked forward to finding new places to explore, hang out and have fun in Brisbane.

Now, here we are.  Almost unpacked, getting settled, seeing a lot more of our lovely family and beginning to discover all the fab places we can go in Brisbane.

Yes, it was a pretty epic move in hindsight, but I know now we made the right decision.

Have you ever made an epic move?

Enjoy xx
