our life in a box
Well……. not our life, just our stuff. It just feels like our life.The box is a storage container where we’ll be keeping everything that we can’t carry on our back or drag along beside us for the year.(not including our children)
The last few weeks have been quite crazy. Packing up our house, making endless plates of food for end of year shared lunches, buying secret santa presents, deciding what we need to take with us overseas, getting the kid’s to sort through all of their precious belongings and only keep what REALLY is precious, selling things on trade-me to fund our theme park trips in Aussie, attending final assemblies and Christmas parties, cancelling accounts, sorting home-schooling material and lots of other things that I just really cannot remember right now. For the last few days we’ve had just our camping gear left in our house, so we’re all sleeping on camping mattresses and using our camping cooking gear for cooking etc. We do have the luxury of having our fridge until the last minute so it’s been quite fun really. It’s nice having a clutter free house and not much to clean up. We still have our Christmas tree twinkling in the corner. That’s just something I can’t do without and when we move into Adventure Specialties on Saturday we’ll take it there, cos I just couldn’t cope with having no tree leading up to Christmas.
So,the countdown is on and our adventure is starting to unfold!

I can’t bear it….”we’ve still got January….we’ve still got January” (eyes closed repeat over and over again….)
I can’t wait! It will be so nice to have an awesome catch up after this crazy month.xx
Do we need a book group get together before you go (without the books of course)?
Hi Guys, L has just brought home the Ad Specs Newsletter and your blog addy was very quickly spotted! It’s now on our Favs list (under the A’s!!) so we are looking forward to following your adventure. Take care and enjoy the last few days of your Kiwi summer!! Love The Edmeadesx
We will be watching! Not long to go – make the most of NZ cheese and chocolate (although at least you will still get them in Oz!) 🙂 I bet everyone is getting excited. love from daBears
Thanks for all your comments. Only 2 sleeps to go, all very exciting-just can’t wait ot go now. Keep watching-photos coming soon!
Just for the record Rob – everyone is not excited – I am not excited. Infact I have changed the way we count sleeps – from now on we count Sam’s sleeps – which are 6 a day so that means there are about 9 sleeps to go before you leave – phew – here I was thinking it was soon!!
