So I was reading my post from Feb 1st, stating that Lucas and I have been posted to HMAS Kuttabul in Sydney. Well here is the update... we have been OFFICIALLY posted to HMAS Sterling in PERTH! YES PERTH! Not sure what the deal is with telling us that we were going to Sydney only to get postings a month later saying Perth, but thats the Navy for ya I guess. While it was a bit annoying and sad that we won't be so close to Family and friends, its not all that bad. We did have to go to Perth at some point in Lucas career so this way we can get it out of the way and possible be able to move to Melbourne in a couple of years. But of course this isn't an announcement. I have learned that nothing is officially until you have that email saying, "Posting Order".
We move in Mid to late June and look forward to the adventures, trials and joys that our new home will bring.
Lucas is coming to the end of his training with only 7 weeks to go. YAY! It was a real blessing to be able to share Easter with him and visit Rob and Beth also. Although saying goodbye to him at the end of the week was just as hard as it was 3 months ago. But I know that these last 7 weeks will go by so fast. Lucas will be out bush all next week and then is out on a ship touring Asia the week after that for 3 weeks. Then we he gets back it will be time for graduation. While I will be here organising our big move, among other things!
Well I hope that everyone has had a great and wonderful Easter. For me it was good that Easter and Anzac Day fell on the same time, not only because I got to see Lucas for longer but for the fact that I was able to remember my Savior and what he has done for me. How he was resurrected and lives today and that as we as a nation paused to remember our fallen soldiers, I know that they will all live again because He Lives.
Love to you all...
P.S don't forget to check out Lucas's youtube video from my previous post! oh and the pictures are of Murrays Beach, Jervis Bay. It was gorgeous and it was a bit over cast too. Hyams beach is the one voted the Whitest Sand in the World but we didn't have time to get to that one! I LOVED JERVIS BAY!, if I had of known what it was like I would of moved down for these last 6 months for sure.
