Times a changing

This is proving to be a very busy but very exciting time for us at the moment. I don't know about Glen but I love being engaged! Our wedding seems so far away but it's exciting to prepare for a lifetime together.

Our big project at the moment before we even think about the wedding is the building of our house. After much stalling thanks to the bank, we've finally signed the building contract and are moving ahead at a frantic pace so that we can get the design and plans approved so the builder can give us the bank pack which they need before they'll finalise the loan and which we need soon to be able to get the First Home Owners Grant. Phew! Bloody paperwork...

Our builders have so far been great in moving things ahead though. We got our drawn plans last week finalised and today we got all the info for making building selections in the post. Tomorrow I'll be ringing the companies and making some appointments for us to get all our selections finalised. Very fun stuff! Thankfully Glen and I aren't in horrible disagreement over anything... yet.

In amongst all this my studies have been going well although it's approaching the busy part of the semester so I hope I can maintain my focus for just a few more weeks and continue to get good grades.

I've also got more responsibilities at work which means very full days and somewhat stressful days but I'm trying, for the sake of my health, to not let things in the workplace get me down so much that I'm thinking about them at all hours of the night. Work will be madness now until at least August, and although the extra pay I'm getting is very helpful and very welcome, I don't want it to be at the expense of my health. As an aside I also interviewed for a higher paid position last week - hopefully I find out how that went soon.

I don't believe anyone visits here anymore but I refuse to remove this page! Hope any that still pop by are well :)
