This time next week we will be farm owners!

This time next week, all going well, we will be the proud owners of 18.5 acres in south western victoria. A bit of a childhood dream come true sort of story..... well it is for me anyway!

I've always loved the idea of moving to a farm... having my horse out the back and not being able to see the neighbours.. but until now it has seemed a far fetched dream rather than anything remotely possible. Especially when you spend over 4 years at University, your career is based in an office and a computer is your only tool of the trade

So...... the deposit has been paid, the packing is well under way and reality has surely set in. We are moving again... and for only two people we sure have a lot of stuff! It all becomes a bit overwhelming when the easy stuff is all packed up and you only have odds and ends left that don't seem to want to fit into any box you have available.

At least hubby seems to be quite relaxed about it all! I am not sure if it is because the whole size of the task has not yet sunk in yet, or because he moved so many times as a child it all seems second nature? What ever it is... I know he has never had to worry about the stress of making sure the keys are handed in on the rental house on time, that stuff moves down to the house in an orderly manner... or that the rental house is clean and the carpets done!

the stresses of the move, the first home purchase, being so far way from mum... all the worry that I have is beaten down by the absolute thrill and excitement that I WILL OWN A FARM! I am sure that it will be heaven on earth.... and I just cannot wait to get there!
