"We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting, the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it? 

I want to repeat one word for you: leave. Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."

Donald Miller, Through Painted Deserts 

The story so far...

So it's official. We have handed in our notices, our return flights have been put on hold, and we're slowly selling our lives on gumtree...there's no going back now!!

Our plan for this summer was to go exploring for eight weeks, working our way through South-East Asia and end up in Australia for two weeks. However, in what seemed like not very long, two weeks in Australia soon became two years. So we're off! We're leaving in just under 15 weeks. We hope to get jobs and base ourselves in Melbourne, as we have friends there and it looks like a pretty exciting place to live.

We've set up a blog so we can share photos and what we're up to with our family and friends over the next wee while.

Hello new home!
