BIG day yesterday! Phil and I are now home owners and I have resigned from my job. Big step, as it was quite comfy there.. but perhaps too comfy? And after a bit of a break Im going to persue my art. For a while now I have been waying up my options.. I have been so proud to be part of a magazine from the start and so happy that it is so successful today, but I feel strongly its time for a change. Breaking the news to my boss over the phone was not easy, he was at first a bit shocked and thought i had perhaps got a job with a competitor; I explained my shoulder was hurting (from RSI.. ) and I want to give it a break, and I really love my art so I want to give that a go and persue it professionally. He got nicer and nicer about it on the phone... maybe he was worried about my RSI??? anyhow it ended good and then I had to go and tell my supervisor-the creative director and the rest of the crew. It was hard but i had to get to the point, i got a bit emotional even.. bit teary but jason was good about it. Everyone was being so nice but really didnt want me to go.. but everyone understands it happens... I had given six weeks notice so its ample time.. I could do this because I wasn't going to another job and I think they appreciated this. Soo.. got some champagne from work and actually got some wine from the real estate agent- when she gave us the keys... got some interesting tips/facts from her too.

Apparently a few years ago, Stormy Summers (one of adelaides oldest and most famous madames) lived across the road.. making the then tenant move out immediately. It was supposed to be a private residence but this tenant could see people going in and out of the house all the time. Its assuring to know Stormy Summers have moved out since then! :)

Got some quotes for an alarm system to be installed. Prices are interestingly varied. Andrea came with us on our first trip to our new place.. ooo a special moment :) Had some beers at the Ediburugh later on with andrea, jindou and adrian, nice pub!!!! We went out later on as well wtih jindou but were feeling shagged! It had been a crazy, long day with ups and downs. Well mostly ups really, AND it was the chinese mid-autumn festival! No mooncakes for us tho.. but it was the full moon, so I did expect more of an emotional day.

More cleaning and getting ready to move out of nth adelaide and move into blackforest! I guess its all part of the fun! THen not long after that were flying to NZ again for phils bro's wedding.
Will get to meet the rest of phils family.. and go up to where he grew up.. it will be fun :)

ciao for now!
