Felt Like Hiding Today


Sorting through all your stuff certainly gives one pause to consider the following....
a) HOW in the WORLD can 2 people accumulate so much junk??
b) WHY??
Our theory of putting an hour/night into sorting and either piling in the garage sale pile, chucking or keeping has had trouble becoming reality....so far. Maybe tonight?
Put the car in for a RWC today and......it failed! But, only need to replace the windscreen, which is great testament to how good Lancers are. Mine's 9 and still runs well.

Duh!

A BIG apology to all those trying to visit our site after my email invite.
Hmmmm...I am obviously technologically challenged. Got that address wrong twice!
But hopefully you are here now.
Thanks to our 2 'followers' - you are so cool & obviously far more intelligent when it comes to technology than I am. 
A little amendment needed to our first post....we have not sold the Lancer after all. So....if you're in the market for a reliable, zippy, economical 2nd hand Mitsubishi...call us:)
Heard a timely sermon today...thanks Pastor James. From Isaiah 43...God is doing a NEW thing. You bet He is! But our challenge is to realise that He will often leave us in the 'wilderness & desert' and ask us to 'see' what He is doing right there. Hmmmmmmm...I wonder......

We have a PLAN!



The last fortnight has been very exciting! We've decided to hit the road in 09 and travel around Australia. WOW! What an adventure:)

The time is right....feel a real sense of God-given peace, there are no kids as yet and a number of other factors have also contributed to the decision.
Here's a few:
  • J was sick earlier in the year and that time raised a few of life's BIG questions. Pointed him in a different direction in many ways.
  • We had an awesome touring holiday in Tasmania and Victoria. Life on the road treated us so well that we thought we'd like to do it again...for longer. Highlights included cruising on the Great Ocean Road; chasing wombats; climbing mountains; eating cheese and sitting in front of log fires.
  • It's in K's genes. Mum and Dad did a 6 year working holiday around Oz in the 70s and I was on the road with them for most of that time.
  • We visited 'Leisurefest' and were introduced to the Carry Me Camper (Google it!) which is our accommodation of choice for next year. Sleeping in a tent for a year. Hmmmmm.
So the plan began to formulate. 
So far we have:
  • Told our bosses we won't be around next year
  • Put a snorkel and lift kit on the Navara
  • Set up Skype
  • Starting piling up stuff for our November Garage Sale...please come
  • Sold J's motorbike and the Lancer
  • Ordered our camper
The wheels are in motion.

We're very excited to have you join us on this adventure....keep reading our blog for future adventure updates.
