Okay, so since I decided I was going to move there are a couple things I put off a bit but needed to be done. The first one was to find my kitties a home and the second was to find someone to take over my lease.
So the first one and by far the hardest thing I needed to do. A home for my cats. I love them so much and I would take them with me in a second. Taking cats into Australia is stupidly expensive. So, I had to find them another home. I tried to figure out how to do this, and then my friend suggested I make a facebook thing. So I made an event but instead of asking people to take my cats. I asked if they couldn’t if they could instead invite all their friends and so on. This way more people hear about it faster. It worked; I met a really nice lady. She seems so excited and happy to be taking them. I will be very sad. This is the hardest part about moving. I have my babies for the rest of this week. On Sunday we will take the adventure to their new home. The great thing is I am allowed to visit and she will keep me informed on how they are doing. I can’t imagine what my life will be like without them. I have had Vader for 4 years now. I know that pets are a bad reason to pass up chances to travel. I just love them so much. I know they are going to a good home. It will be hard to say goodbye, but at least I know they are in good hands.
Second. Finding someone to take my apt. This isn’t as hard as it sounds. I have a lady coming to look at it on Thursday. I hope she takes it but, we will see. It is not what I worry about the most right now. I know I will find someone.
For now, I am going to go cuddle my cats. I still have them till Sunday so I will make the best of the time I have left.

Wedding dress on a budget
So yesterday morning I woke up and went on an adventure to find fabric for a wedding dress. The trick was that I had to manage to keep the costs of the fabric low enough that I would still get paid enough to make it.
The dress is for a friend so I figured I would help her out. She told me she had a budget of about $500. Not much for a wedding dress. I wanted to get paid at least $400. Wedding dresses are a lot of work and take a lot of time. So getting paid $400 is not much when you look at it hourly.
Not only did we find everything for $150 including stuff for a couple ties. I am still going to get paid what I asked for and that means the budget went over by a slim $50. I am pretty happy with myself.
This wedding dress will be my last sewing project before I leave and it is going to be beautiful. I am excited to start working on it and not excited at the same time. I am sure there will be some interesting posts about it.
