Thank you all so much for your congratulations and for those Sydnians (is that what we call you?) who put up your hands to offer some help in our move. I will be in touch with you all shortly :)
David and I are slowly starting to sort out the things we are taking/not taking to Sydney with us. I have to try and sell my car and we need to sort out sending our cat over to Sydney. It turns out that sending fluffy balls of cuteness to Australia is pretty darn expensive! But I can't leave her.
We got her from the SPCA when she was about a year old. She had been abandoned with her litter mate at a house, where she caught the feline flu and could have died if she wasn't rescued by the SPCA.
I've also been looking at the rental situation in Sydney basically everyday since we found out and I've been looking at the job situation - living in Sydney is going to be rather more expensive than it is here and so a job is the second biggest thing on the 'to do' list after finding a place to live once we arrive.
On top of all that, its pretty darn exciting, and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people and doing something new, somewhere new!
David and I are off to Naseby for the weekend, so I'll hopefully see you all next week (I'll be officially on holiday!!).

I meant to say congrats on the other post! you must be so excited for this new exciting phase in your life :). Hope everything starts to sort itself out slowly and surely without too much stress.
will be a shame that you are leaving NZ though!
Cute outfit! :)
That's great that you're bringing your cat along! I've never understood how people can leave their pets behind when they move. Though I imagine transporting an animal to a new continent must be difficult!

The term you're looking for is Sydneysider :)
Oh, and if you do want some help my email is plon8506 at uni dot sydney dot edu dot au

OH my GOD! I totally missed your post about moving to Sydney... I'm so excited because *I* have recently moved to Sydney :) I'm working at the University of Sydney also.
I'm also a bit disappointed that you didn't end up in Melbourne too, because I'm sure you'd end up loving it as much as I do (being originally a Melbournian) but I'm very glad you're coming here. Having just moved here I don't know many people in Sydney :)
Congratulations to David and good luck with all the preparations!
(P.S. I totally get what you mean about being scared of not knowing anyone in Syd - I was the same way - but on the whole I have founds Sydneysiders to be very friendly, chatty, outgoing people)
(P.P.S. They call themselves 'Sydneysiders')
Sorry for the long message, I'm just really excited :)
I have been meaning to comment for a while now, and now I finally am! yay!
I wanted to say that I absolutely adore your cute outfits! I've gotten some ideas to do with my own things now. :D I love those shorts!!! They are soo adorable!

Ooh, congratulations on taking the plunge and moving to Sydney! You are in for the adventure of a lifetime. I'm currently planning a huge move that will take place in early February, so I'm in the same boat as you...trying to find a place to live and a job. I think it will work out for the both of us once we get to our dream destinations!!
Loving your ensemble - red, white, and blue are such pretty colors. And your high-waisted tailored shorts are truly covetable!! :)
Congrats on the move!!! Australia sounds like such a beautiful place!! xoxo
What a beautiful outfit! I am in LOVE with those shorts and the interesting neckline on that pretty top.
I love that shirt!!!! Monica
