Well what can I say, its been a while since I posted a blog so a big SORRY to people who have sent emails requesting an up date. I thought I better up date everyone on what we have been up to since getting settled into our house here in the Perth hills. I think the best way to describe our time in one word would be "adjusting" to the change. Getting back into a normal life so to speak back in Perth has taken sometime. The nightmare of unpacking all our things from storage and overseas just went on and on but the positive to that was going through and sorting the items we wanted to keep and the items we didn't.

Over the past couple of months Ben started his new job where he works away for 8 days up in the Pilbra area and is home for 6 days area each swing, Paige started at the local primary school in the PP1 class and me well I have been taking each day as it comes. I seem to ask myself where does the time go?. I am sure there will be blogs on that later. The process of sorting the house out seemed to take ages and seems never ending. When we moved into the house there where a number of jobs around the house we wanted to do like replace the old green plastic roof in the out door area, put a fence up around the pool area, replace the pot belly stove and so on, so we had been busy working on all the items. I am glad we can say that we are nearly at the end of the list for now. We are really happy with the area in the hills suburb we chose to buy. Rents here in Perth are just crazy. The area has a real country feel about it with lots of trees around the streets and the local shopping area of Kalamunda is not far away, everyone seems really friendly. We have some great neighbours which at times I feel truly blessed for all the help they have given us. With Ben having to go to the airport quite often the drive there only takes 20 minutes.
Here are some pics below of the house we call home. We hope in a couple of years we will look at extending, as at the moment our house is a 3 bedroom by 1 bathroom home. Who knows it may take that long to finally get sorted........................................................ at times it has felt like that.
