Another adventure comes to an end. With less than two weeks left, I am excited to go home! Yet I can't help feeling a bit sad. I will miss this beautiful country and the opportunities it has allowed us. I will miss looking out over the lake each morning and seeing the hot air balloons go up at dawn. I will miss watching the sun set over the mountains and seeing Telstra Tower light up at night. I will miss our walks around the lake, to Questacon, the Museum, and even the shopping center. I will miss the coast, the gum trees, and the kangaroos. But most of all I will miss the people and the friends we have made. I will miss playing with Kalista, the Seaches, and the Olsons. I will miss Mary, Lucy, Penelope, and Monique and the love and patience they have shown working with my children. I have never been one to linger over goodbyes, and I don't see the point in prolonging the inevitable, but I find myself wishing I had just a little more time here. Even so, I am grateful for the experiences, the friendships, and the memories, and I'm glad I can take those with me!

I am so glad you have had a wonderful time! I am so glad you will be coming home too! We miss you and can't wait to see you soon! Enjoy the last few weeks and let me know if there is anything I can do to help!
I found your blog through Tisha's You have such a cute family. I didnt know you were in Canberra, Josiah served part of his mission there. I loved looking at your pictures, it brought back fun memories. It would be fun to talk to you, I'm sure we know a lot of the same people. We were there in 2004, and can't wait to go back. my email is sharlamccarty@gmail.com email sometime when you get the time!
Heather I love your blog! I hadn't been on for a while and it is just great to see you and your kids. So good to hear about what you are all up to.
That picture is beautiful. Its wonderful hearing all the stories from abroad.
You've been gone on a couple days and we already miss you! What a sweet post, for some reason it didn't show up in my dashboard so I just barely checked your blog and read it. I'm so glad you came to Canberra and we became friends! I'm also glad you enjoyed your time here so much and that rather focusing homesickness like I did at first, you embraced the opportunity from the start and made the most of the adventure! Can't wait to see you in June!
