He's Home!!!

He's home! He's home! He's home! He's home!!! Yay! Yay! It was around four in the morning, so I was half asleep when he knocked on the door but it was the best feeling to wake up this morning remembering we have our daddy home! He is quite jet lagged as you can imagine today and at the moment in bed. He is happy to be home and told us he had an amazing time which we are all really pleased about. I am so relieved to have him home safe. I thank God for that because I don’t know what we would have done if something went wrong. Every day I prayed for his safety and then every day I knew God would bring him safely home. Now it's over and he is home it doesn’t feel like he was really away that long, it went really quickly. Mum and I did a great job with keeping the week moving! Now let’s get this week moving because we should hear about the job next week which I am feeling both excited and nervous about. Also impatient because I am so sure we have got the job I just want them to tell us.

Daddy brought us all home presents as well! Mummy was very excited with her Cath Kidston bag (under-statement!!) and I was delighted with shoes, and make up in little vintage tins! When I spoke to dad on Skype earlier in the week he said he had a surprise for me. Well! When he gave me my Nan's paints and brushes as well as pencils I almost cried! She is happy in heaven and left a while ago but she is always close in our hearts and to have her paints is such a blessing.

As a result of having all these lovely new things, I realised they won’t look nice in my messy room which had collected junk because I have put off cleaning it saying 'We are moving soon anyway.' But this morning I set myself to the task of cleaning it. I mean clearing it out! I went through every single thing I own throwing things I don’t want, organising my clothes (I have to say I did hang my clothes in colour order. That is how serious I got!) I vacuumed the floor and then by the end of it, with a headache and the sneezes from the dust I was content with what I had done and sat down to paint my nails a groovy purple.

I had a thought. This will be our last Australia day living here. In Australia. So, 'gd'ay to you mate!' because I won't be able to say that for much longer.

And now here I am and all I can think about at the moment, is how much I just want to be in England and how much I want to wear my new shoes out and how blessed I am to have such an incredible family who I love and adore with all my heart.
