Early tomorrow morning we're heading off on our much anticipated trip home to Coffs Harbour. I have to say I felt this day would never come. It been a really tough time for me lately with family stuff and personal stuff and it's so much harder going through it all when all your family is 600kms away. I'm very close to my Mum and I miss her terribly. We haven't been home since January and it feels like a life time ago. My Mum's getting excited too, we speak a lot on the phone but she's rung so many time in the past 3 days just to literaly say hi and hang up......she's beside herself with excitement.
We're going to try and leave by 4am and so we'll be in Coffs by midday and I'll surprise Mum at work, she doesn't think we'll get there until evening time
It's a funny feeling that comes over me once we hit about Bellingen (30 mins out) and then we get to Coffs and drive up the hill past the Big Windmill and I suddenly feel like I'm home and I'm ME again. the air is different, the atmosphere is different and the people are different. I just can't wait. I have a new family member to meet, which will be very emotional but exciting.
We will be catching with my extended family of course........Janice and Steve, whom I adore and can't wait to catch up with again. There will be a naming ceremony also for the new tractor, which is Luke's job.....LOL We miss Thomas but I'm sure this new one will be just as special. Oh and Janice make sure there's space on your windows for Luke......LOL I'll make sure I bring some bourbons too. See you soon!!!!
Luke had his Pre-school birthday party today as it's not his birthday till next week but he had to ahve one with his friend's before we went away. He'll have another party in Coffs with all the family too down the beach. I picked out one photo as the other's had all the other kid's in them.
