Almost a year later we are just starting to feel more settled but it is a long process. The new job sounds exciting and hopefully dressing will be a fun distraction from the everyday chaos. Keep at it one day at a time and I will be thinking of you and your family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-948043 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 13:33:20 +0000 anne 948043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to those who chimed in on the last few days! I was up in the city - today we had an interview at the girls' new school. Seeing it is making them a bit more positive about the whole move. Then we dropped nearly $700 on school uniforms and bags!! (this was hard for frugal old me!!) with 4-5 pairs of shoes still to get.</p> <p>DH will have the computer back at work tomorrow I expect, so I may not be able to write much here, though I can read your responses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-947681 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 22:53:20 +0000 Lyn D. 947681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang in there Anne!<br />Congrats on the new job, and I am sure&nbsp;your girls will adapt quickly to their new school- good practice for the High school transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-947490 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:50:31 +0000 rachylou 947490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the job! How exciting! It's decorating time <i>and</i> fashion fun time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-947245 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:28:52 +0000 Deborah 947245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne this is so exciting. I know there is a lot going on but one day at a time. When we moved 2 years ago DS (8 at the time) had some struggles settling in but church life and our new church family definitely helped us all settle in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-947061 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:14:07 +0000 anne 947061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann!! Yes - no blue shirts this time!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-947049 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:52:49 +0000 Beth Ann 947049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed your original post, so I'm glad you sent an update.&nbsp; My DH spent 10 years in a church plant, and I'm well aware of the blessings and challenges involved!&nbsp; It's encouraging to have family nearby and a job lined up!&nbsp; So many changes at once can we overwhelming, but new starts can also be so powerfully wonderful!</p> <p>We miss you, but will be ready to help whenever you start assembling a work wardrobe.&nbsp; No blue shirt this time? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-946681 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 04:10:13 +0000 anne 946681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the encouragement. I am encouraged by having the job, though apt to be nervous as I haven't done this type of work since 2004 and not worked fulltime since 2002. I am pretty nervous about accommodation as there is a housing shortage at our destination &nbsp;and rents and house prices are high. We are staying with my mother initially though, so I know we won't be on the streets!</p> <p>Gingko, my older 2 daughters (nearly 10 and 7) are not pleased about the move and we have lots of sadness. The youngest (5) says she is excited and pleased but has the least grasp on what will actually be involved!</p> <p>bj - I am in WA and am moving within &nbsp;the same state. You might be thinking of Katiepea, who is in QLD.. As for school, we have an interview on Tues with a new school for them, and yes that will be a big transition - they are very happy at their current one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-update-1#post-946676 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 03:47:00 +0000 Anonymous 946676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With so much to deal with right now, I hope having the job search sorted will help eliminate some stress.

LOTS of changes here. Deep breath. You are all going to be okay. Just got to get through the slog of moving and live with the unending mess for a while.

It will be a big change - back to working full time in a corporate environment - and I daresay might require some YLF dressing advice!!</p> <p>I haven't shopped at all - I do need clothes but getting the time and mental space to do it hasn't happened yet. </p>
