And those were just the things I had put on our calendar…
Before it became official, we knew there was a possibility that we would be leaving Perth earlier than expected. At that point, we decided to forgo a Christmas trip home and instead spend the $$$ on trips here in Australia. We asked the girls what they wanted to see before we left Australia, and thus our trips to Kangaroo Island (Morgan) and the Great Barrier Reef (Addie) were planned. We also decided to throw in Sydney at New Year's Eve because we weren't busy enough.
Our lives are busy as it is with swim 3 days a week, dance 2 days a week, playdates, piano lessons, training for triathlons and various other extra curricular activities…so you throw in three trips, a three week visit from my parents, Christmas, birthdays, AND packing and planning a move internationally, oh AND building a house from half way across the world and it is a wonder that Dustin and I have not completely lost it yet. Don't get me wrong, we are close…
But those moments when I truly question our sanity, I realize that despite being busy, we are blessed beyond belief.
Why are we busy on a daily basis?
Because we have two talented and able bodied children that can participate in activities.
Because we have friends to spend our time with and enjoy each other's company.
Because I was given an opportunity to get fit and learned to enjoy being active.
Because we have family that loves us enough to fly 24 hours to visit AND put up with us for three weeks!!!
Because we have built a FULL life here in Perth.
Getting on that plane on January 28th and saying goodbye to all the wonderful people we have met here and all the amazing experiences is going to be much harder than I realized.
So I will take being this kind of busy any day, and I hope that our family has many more amazing experiences together in the years to come.
