So I walked around my melbourne house for the very last time. All the rooms were empty and i could even hear an echo when i talked. It was strange feeling. 13 years of growing up in one place and now it's goodbye. Thanks to a certain someone, my last couple of hours in melbourne will be one to remember. This person shall remain anonymous coz i think he does read this blog. So he dropped in and we said our goodbyes and exchanged well wishes. Next moment I hear a banging on my window once again and he's asking me for a coat hanger...turns out the smart person that he is 'accidently' locked his car keys in the car and locked himself out. So thanks to wireless internet and my neighbours internet connection(they should consider getting it secured) we googled "how to pick a car lock with a coat hanger" and what do you know..after a few attempts he managed to unlock the door. So now i know how to rob a car muahahahaha. Anyway...we finally left Melbourne at 8:30 pm last night because my parents came up with this brilliant idea of avoiding peak traffic. To our horror, we nearly couldn't fit everything in the car. The boot was packed to it's full capacity and there was hardly any room to sit in the car..plus there was my dog. But oh well...we survived.

It was 6am and after having fallen asleep for an hour I woke up and realised the sun was up and we had arrived in Sydney!! =) Having done this road trip countless times before there was nothing new about it but this time..it did feel different. This time it wasnt just a holiday. This time it was saying hello to our new home. We got caught in the early morning crawl to work and arrived at my cousin's house around 8 after having breakfast at maccas.

So I'm here at my cousin's house until Monday coz that's when all our stuff from Melbourne will arrive and that's when we'll be moving into the house we have rented for the next 10 or so months while our beautiful new house is being built. Actually..I dont miss melbourne that much yet. I'm kind of hoping that it'll stay like this..though i do doubt it. I'm looking forward to going to church on Sunday and hopefully meeting a whole bunch of new people and my cousin talked to me about approaching the worship coordinator to get myself involved so yayyy!! It'll be exciting to be part of a new band with different people and a larger congregation :D we'll see i guess. It'll all come together in time. Anyway..HAPPYY VALENTINES DAY! love youuu =) Hope you all had a more romantic one than mine :p Take care guys! miss you heeeaps.
