Word of the Week

Over at The Reading Residence I have found another great weekly linky hosted by Jocelyn. After the events that have occurred over the course of this week, I couldn't resist linking up!

If you have been following my blog for a while, you'll know that the last 7 months have been something of a living hell for my family. You can read more about it here. In the space of a week, just seven little days, all that has changed for the better! 

I applied for a housing exchange before Christmas. As we live in a fairly remote village, not many people want to move here so it has been quite tricky finding someone to swap with. We found someone keen to swap then had to wait over the Christmas holidays for our decision as to whether we can move or not. I know that isn't long but believe me, it has felt like forever!! 

This week we have passed our house check so we have the go ahead to swap, we are just waiting for a date! 

My husband has been working in Chard for the last few months. It is an hour and a half drive to get there from here so he stays in a B&B for 4 days a week. It is so difficult to form and maintain a functioning relationship when you are only together for a couple of days a week. 

This week my husband has been offered a new job just down the road from our new house!! 

If that wasn't amazing enough, I found out today that our case with Social Services has been CLOSED!! 

This has to have been the BEST week ever and it's only 11 days into January! I cant wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us. One thing is for sure, I cant wait until we are all living under the same roof again.
