Back in August when Luigi finished chemo he made the decision to move up north again and continue to run the company outside of Mackay. So for the past few months his been working away during the week and flying home for the weekends and while it worked for a while and I loved my freedom in the long term it just wasn’t working. I missed my husband, the kids missed their one on one time with dad and I was silently going insane.So for the last few weeks I’ve been taking the steps to pack up our lives {again}. So today were leaving the city behind us and heading back to the bush as a family.
I am absolutley heart broken to be leaving the city but right now this is the move for my family. There is many things I will miss and many things I won’t but I’m looking forward to taking a step back from civilization and life and re-connecting as a family and re-builder those walls we use to call home.
For a long time now I have felt disconnected from my family, my friends and my husband and right now I’m not the best wife I can be. I’m not the best mother I can be and I’m not the best friend I can be. But eventually..I’ll get back there, I know I will. Keep watching and perhaps you will notice the change.

Oh lovely. That can't have been easy. I hope the moves goes well. Thankfully you're still so connected to everything via the internet – so hopefully you can reconnect and stay connected. x

It can't have been an easy decision to make but sometimes being apart just doesn't work. I know my girls would struggle if CJ was away. I wish you and your family all the very best! I bet Luigi is looking forward to having his family by his side again!!

Good on you for making the call. It's a hard thing to uproot everything and move. I know you'll love it.

You needed time to heal too. And now it is your time to slide back into the wife, mother, friend role.
Good move, and we'll be around to catch up with when you fly on in!

I cant totally relate to all of this. Moving for the family unit and attempting to reconnect as a person to everyone. The move for me of course has been the opposite from town back to the city and there's been good and bad that has come with it. I terribly miss Launceston and my life. I love what Melbourne has to offer (more food related than anything..lol) and I could really give or take the family drama that has come with being back here. Hope it all goes well for you Dani and you once again enjoy the slower pace of life xx
