September

My goodness! What happened to September?  I feel as though I got lost somewhere after making Banoffee Pie, which now seems like a lifetime ago.

For me, September was filled with so many amazing moments. The month signified the end of our third term which was the longest one of the year. The month started with my Mister receiving his transfer which means that he will be leaving our town at the start of November to head back to the city. I also received my teacher transfer which allows me to follow him a month later to teach primary school (yay!) . It also means that after three years our time living in the remote Australian outback is coming to an end which is excellent and devastating but the great thing about life is that it is full of moments like these.

So that was just the start of September! The rest of the month was filled up with hens parties, bucks parties, copious amounts of last minute planning, phone calls and rushing around, all in preparation for our amazing wedding!

The week leading up was filled with so many hazards. There were some complications with our cake (but it all worked out perfectly), our poor celebrant became very sick (but she got better and it all worked out perfectly), we had a miscommunication with our decorators and some of our decorations were not available (but after some *calm* negotiations it all worked out perfectly), the day before there was a mini cyclone on the beach (but on the day.....yep - it all worked out perfectly). We could not have asked for a better, more memorable day to unite our love with friends and family surrounding us.

And then there was the Honeymoon! We spent 3 days in Kuala Lumpur loving the city, the people and the shopping. Next we headed to the jungle of Sabah. We stayed at a beautiful resort on Dalit Beach. Relaxation. Sunshine. Orang-utans. Massages. Food. Oh the food! Stay tuned for some Malaysian inspired dinners.

So that was September and after negotiating around 30 hours of travel we are back home.

Now it is October....almost half over! There are 8 weeks of the working year left. I have a prac student to guide over the next 5 weeks. Report cards to write. A house to pack up. And a new life waiting just around the corner.
