A new Chapter

Image
As we glide into the new chapter in our life  there is a feeling of relief. What a crazy stressful well 15months really. I feel like i had no time to do anything other than live day to day and get through what was happening that day. Be it Hospital visits, sick baby, bills, house hunting, moving and the list goes on. The over whelming feeling of having no home to go to is so scary and not something i want to experience ever again. As a parent you wish to provide for your family and for most  part provide a roof over there head and to not have that was awful. Aaliyah handled things as best she could but it did unsettle her having her things packed away staying one night here then another the next night then being out in an apartment for a few weeks. Lacey-Jay was a wee trooper and nothing really fazed her although she does get quite car sick so the drive from Brisbane up to Airlie Beach was tricky at times but we got there. I am so glad we decided to move to Airlie not Mackay
