The cat is out of the bag {or box!}


A few posts back, I asked you to cross your fingers and your toes for me, and that I would be able to tell you what all the hooplah was about soon... well. Soon has arrived folks, and I can tell you the goings on now... Wait for it... waaaaait! Okay Okay, Im moving! {like the picture of the boxes didnt give it away huh!} Yip! And not just down the street either. Im moving cities. From Wellington, to Auckland. Ive been thinking about making the move for a while, and while yes, of course I am going to miss my home, my friends, and especially my family, I know that there are new and exciting opportunities waiting for me in Auckland. So, come september I am going to be packing all my things up, chucking them into my car, and making the 10 hour drive up to the city of sails. Oh I am so excited! The other part of the news, is that Im hoping to attend Graphic Design school up there. I know what you are thinking, I have just graduated from a major University, and I am going to go back and study more...surely I am crazy, but, this is something that I am so passionate about, and if a little bit more study means that I can wake up every morning and go to a job that I love and am excited about, whats another year right? My application has been accepted, and I have an interview in 4 weeks time! If everything goes well, I will be starting my course February 2011. So. I have a few months to sort myself out with a job, and all those other things that living in a new city entails. Lucky enough for me, I have some really amazing friends in Auckland, who I know will help me out if I need it. {God knows I will propbably need it} So yay! Lets have a glass of wine to celebrate shall we?

We should probably have another glass of wine too! Its my birthday in 17 days! and my party in 19 days!Wahoo! The big two one! Thats exciting isnt it? The invites are out, the venue is hired, now all I need to do is finish my dress. *gasp* though, There is still time! {There is always time, right until the last minute} Im really excited about having all my friends and family together for a big celebration. I even have some beauties traveling from both ends of the country just to be there with me. {see what I mean. SO BLESSED!} Its going to be such a huge day/night/weekend! Yay! Watch out July 22nd. We are coming to get you!


This is the last week to enter the photoswap. Go on! It will be an adventure.
