Another good day!

Hooray, I have now officially had 2 great days in a row!
I think a combination of the Happy Drugs my beautiful nurse Jenelle got for me, and moving out of that 1st week post chemo phase....
Yesterday was a particularly exciting day because we decided to buy the camper trailer! We ended up getting a caravan type one, we were almost going to buy a tent one but ended up with the Jayco Swan Outback edition. I am so excited! It was like it was meant to be.
As I said I was feeling good yesterday so after my psychologist appointment, which went really well by the way, we thought we would go and have a look at the tent camper trailer again which was in North Parramatta. I had earlier in the week decided on the caravan type just for ease of packing stuff up and having everything you need already there for you, like the cooker, fridge, microwave etc.
After we looked at the tent trailer again I thought we could take the trek out to good old St Marys to the Jayco dealer. By this time it was about 4:00pm so I am sure the guy wasn't thrilled to have us arriving at that time on a Friday afternoon! Anyway, we had a look through it again and were more happy with the caravan option.
He took us inside to spec up what we were after and we went through all our added options. He said we wouldn't be able to get it until Feb 2010!!!! Apparently, the model we are after is their most popular so that's why such a long wait. Anyway, he then thought he might have a look at what they had in stock. There was one exactly as we had specced up ready to go, do you believe it! As I said, I think it was meant to be. Anyway, we said we would have to have a chat about it, by this time it was 5pm and he just wanted to go home too!
We talked about it on the way home and decided to just do it. We had been talking about it for months, so why wait any longer. So we rang him this morning and put down a deposit. We pick it up on Monday 9th November, (because we are going to the zoo next week), and I can't wait!!!! Jason can, because he has to learn how to drive towing something, and especially the reversing bit! I'm sure he will be fine, it can't be that hard can it.....lol!
We have also been looking at houses toward the end of the week, and we have found one we really like. Surprisingly, it's in Kellyville. We weren't even looking in that area, but an agent suggested we just come and look at this one because it had all we were looking for. He was right. It's perfect. It ticks all the boxes except it's in Kellyville not West Pennant Hills. Mind you, if it was in WPH it would be so far out of our price range it wouldn't be funny! So I will keep you posted on that one as we figure out whether or not to make an offer, and if so how much? The joys of house hunting...........
We went to an event out at Glenmore golf club this afternoon which was grat fun for the kids and us too I suppose. Jason and the big boys went on a helicopter flight so that was a great experience for them all! The boys got their faces painted and jumped on the jumping castle until they couldn't breathe. They are so funny to watch!!
Anyway, Happy Halloween, I'm off to sleep now, take care.
By the way, I don't realise how many people read this blog, and become concerned when I haven't written for a while. Sorry about that. It is generally because I feel like crap and I don't want to spend the whole time whining so I don't write at all! So please don't worry...if something bad happens, I'll get Jason to write so you know what's going on.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!
