The first week has been pretty full really. Mostly, we have been trying to settle into out little cabin and make it home. Our house isn’t ready yet so we have to stay there for a month or so. At first I didn’t think it was going to work but it is and I actually quite like it, it is quite homely really. I love waking up every morning and listening to the birds and sitting on my front door step and looking up at the mountains on the blue skies. I love going to bed at night and it is so dark and there are so many stars.

I have also been trying to find a job. I have managed to update my resume and send it to a few places and so hopefully something will come up. For those of you to whom I winged and moaned to about this endlessly I also got a Cert IV. In the end they gave me full credit for my degree and experience. Still annoys me that I spent all that time making a portfoilio and had to pay $350 for something that they ended up saying you already know all this stuff but it certainly was much less time and money than if I had to actually do it. I hope I find a job soon. I am starting to feel a little lacking of purpose and meaning in my life. As nice as it is to not do much I get to the end of most days feeling a little nit toey.

I have also been trying to get involved in the different things and meet some people. On Friday we went adn heard some live music at the Laneway. It is the coolest venue. On the roof of a laneway cafe so you can listen to music and look up at teh stars. On Sunday I went to the Catholic church, still trying to work out if I’ll give it another go but that’s a whole other post. Also watched Martin play soccer with the other “soccer wives” (it wasn’t as bad as I have made it sound, it was actually fun). Last night I went to Campfire and tonight I have been invited to a woman’s group. Everyone is really welcoming really but it takes awhile for people to feel like friends so I am missing everyone heaps.
