End of the Book

I know most people can relate to this...when one is near the last quarter of a book they are reading, it gets pretty hard to put it down. The end of the book draws near and demands our attention so much more that the rest of the book. It makes us "jump" into the roles of the book and often, we are even thinking of the characters even on our non reading hours.

We are near the end of another book. I am consumed with it and I am desperately wanting it to end. This book is the book of our lives here in Wollongong.

Over the past 6 months, we have had a series of changes in our life. Alex went through a few job prospects and we've finally settled into one that will tie us through. Just the last month a job came "seeking" Alex and we decided that the opportunity is too good NOT to give it a try. after so many rejections and less than attractive offers, we were prepared for this ONE to be just another one to filed as "experience".

Since then, we've been offered work, to relocate and to uproot our young ones again. This time to Singapore. Alex is 90% away from closing the offer deal and we were told we have up to 6 weeks to MOVE.

The girls do not know anything yet. We plan to keep it from them as long as we can. So I appreciate your sensitivity in the matter (if you see them!). We are honestly living in "limbo" at the moment. There's so much to plan and do yet, we don't know where to start.

The funniest bit is, my mom (see previous post), after spending a near fortune to arrange for a year's visa to come visit and spend time with us, she noww gets here only to learn that her holiday has to be cut short. The good news is, at least for the time we are there, my girls will have better chance to be multi-lingual as well as have more chance to relate to their family (physically see them and touch them, instead of just telling them about it!!).

We are praying for a smooth transition. Pray for us, for direction, strength, wisdom and loads of good choices and decision making.

The next blog just might be titled "We are NOT going!!" as if all becomes to difficult, we might just stay in Australia.
