Tangalooma Adventures

Well Tangalooma was amazing, lots of quality time with the boyfie and felt like we were falling in love all over again. The ocean was crystal clear and we had a lot of fruit packed to be able to eat healthy (that's another post for you later on). 



We snorkelling the ship wreck and played archery and mini golf. It was so lovely to have quality time while Millie stayed with her nanna. 

Any who we arrived home and decided we definately want a lifestyle change so yesterday I spent my day up the coast with job interviews and hunting for daycares, fingers crossed it all works out for us! 

My mum is still driving me mad, controlling and questioning everything I do. Yesterday I had 6 missed calls and about 8 text messages "where are you", "what are you doing"... "Why are you not replying". Very irritating. 

I am really looking forward to hopefully settling by the beach with a lifestyle change and Millie is beach mad so she would love it! 

Neck is still extremely sore and still on a lot of painkillers start back at work next week after 3 months off, should be interesting I have come to feel like an outcast. You would expect your employer to ask how you are etc after a major accident but I have barely heard from them all they want to know is when I am coming back to normal. 

One of my oldest friends also showed me a house she has just bought! Her first one purchase which she plans to renovate as her partner is a carpenter. So exciting going through the house talking about renovations gets me excited for he day I can build my own home! (Hopefully sooner rather than later). 

We are looking at trying to be "earth friendly" and build a mud house, I hope it is feasible for us !

What are my readers thinking ? 

Sweet dreams,

The Future In-Laws

Sorry for the lack of posts I have spent the last week with the boyfies family as they are here from overseas (where we used to live). I must admit I absolutely love his family, they are amazing. His mum works for a church and fully accepted me and Millie the minute we walked into the boyfies life. She was just loving and open and has constantly supported our relationship and for that I am ever thankful.

His sister is just as ridiculously good looking as him, long perfectly proportioned body, long beautiful hair and a pretty face. When they stand next to each other they are like a walking advertisement for anything health and fitness related, she can go to the gym for like a week and have abs showing. Meanwhile I stand next to them and its like "oh hey plumpie" Plumpie is the boyfies nickname for me. In the nicest possible way,  I know he loves my curves and I do not get offended. I actually find it really funny how he loves my curves so much and it really shows in my own confidence.

And his mothers boyfriend (his bio dad lives on the opposite side of the world) is lovely too, very sweet and great with Millie. She had a ball being around them all at the beach and it just shows me what a family should be like. I have the most dysfunctional family ever, and I am not joking when I say that. I like to think I am one of the more normal ones haha!

Anyway I am absolutely loving having this space to vent about my life, frustrations and also the things that make me happy. Let me know if your liking what I post or if you have any questions I would love to answer :)

Night Night,

Tangalooma and Migraines

I have spent the last few days planning my birthday trip to Tangalooma Island. Yes I have 3 nights and 4 days child free to spend with the boyfie. If you have never heard of Tangalooma it is the famous "dolphin island", also where Scooby Doo the movie was filmed... see below absolutely beautiful!



I am SO excited!!! have given myself spending money so we can eat and sleep and have a good time, we have dolphin feeding and snorkelling to look forward too and I really hope the weather is fantastic and warm for us. I am an absolute beach baby and spend all my time at the beach or dreaming of the beach. This is a huge reason why we are also looking to move to the Sunshine Coast. I love it up there and have a few interviews lined up next week! Fingers crossed then we just have to house hunt! I am a bit nervous as I have heard its very hard to rent up there, however hopefully having a background in real estate I will be okay.

The other thing that is really bothering me lately is bloody migraines! My neck is still extremely sore from my accident and I still have appointment's most days for doctors, physio, psychologist, neurologist and anyone else who wants to poke and prod me. I have been given the okay to head back to work in 2 weeks after having 3 months off! Surprising what someone can do just by crashing their car into yours, still angers me she walked away with not a scratch on her and the whole thing was her fault! So I have been having these killer violent migraines which make you feel like you've been smacked over the head and in the stomach multiple times with a bag filled with bricks = not fun at all! You would think the amount of medication I have (I am pretty confident I could easily open my own chemist at this point) that I would be able to take something to help. Forget about that after valium, endone, neurological pain killers, Panadol, codeine and nurofen still thumping like crazy, ended up curling up in a ball closing my eyes and just hoping I didn't die.

I have never suffered from migraines previously and I can tell you now people are not exaggerating when they say they cannot see/are throwing up an absolutely bed ridden. I will never judge someone who suffers from migraines again, they are the WORST! I seem to have good and bad days and it keeps going up and down I am praying for some stability as soon as possible. Plus my supervisor at work was a bit of a dick when I said I was only allowed back part time certain hours and not allowed to drive once I got to work, Jesus you would just think they would be happy I am back.. obviously not. This is another reason the thought of moving to the coast is so appealing. A fresh start.

Millie has been wonderful and is constantly asking me to take her to the beach (must get this from her Mumma), so I also think she would absolutely love the move. Fingers crossed everything pans out for us.

Ta Ta For Now,
