I'm starting to feel more at home in cowra. I'd move back to Sydney in a heartbeat, but I had to make this work.
I thought I needed to find a friend, a true friend that I get and she gets me. I was wrong.
I thought I needed to find something to do to fill my time here so I wouldn't think so much about not wanting to be here. Well, that has helped in many ways.
But as I reflect back on our time here so far and the roller coaster my emotions were going on, what it really took was time.
And learning that my home is where ever my husband and children are. They are my home.
May 2015 has been an awesome month. Kerry and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary by going on our very first holiday together totally alone!
We spent a week on Hamilton Island QLD which was absolutely beautiful. There was an obvious bitter sweet being away from our kids for the first time, for the longest time but we survived and so did they.
I am continuing to create a healthier lifestyle by exercising regularly and watching what I eat. I've lost about 13 kilos and am working on losing 12 more.
But what I'm most proud of is what my body proves to me each time I push it a little further. I'm even more proud of the significant cut back of processed sugar in my diet. I have felt addicted to sugar for the past 15 years and I finally feel like I've broken free from it. I still allow the occasional treat but no longer crave to over indulge in them.
Our kids are growing so fast. The last week Carter goes to bed when we put him to bed and stays there. No longer needing Kerry or I to stay with him. So for the last week all three of our kids go to bed and and sleep on their own. This is a first for us in 8 and a half years of being parents. Not having a child that depends on us to put them to sleep! Also a bittersweet! Carter especially is finding so much more independence.
I have signed up to become a Thermomix consultant. I am nervous but feel I have great support especially from Kerry and my family.
Busy but exciting days ahead! Wish me luck Xx
