My oldest child Scott who is 25 this year is leaving us yet again, he has been back home for over two years upon his return from the UK, but now he is leaving this city to go to the big smoke Auckland.

He has been seeing a lovely girl for over five months now, and they have decided to move in together, he just had to secure himself a new job, which he did, first job he applied for he got, so he is very happy, will be more responsibility and a little more pay, which he will need as it is more expensive to live there.

Next weekend we will take a trip up there to meet his girlfriend Amber for the first time, i have been emailing her and getting to know her a little, she seems lovely, Amber is 22 this year and a primary school teacher in her first year, she has one older sister and sadly lost her mother when only nine years old to cancer, she is half south african.

So although i am so happy for him, i am sad too, i will miss my lad terribly, even though he will only be two hours drive away, travel is not something i can do easily, i will have to rely on him to come home more often, my sister and family are in Auckland too and he has a couple of mates there, so all in all should be a positive move for him.

Just wanted to share this happy event. Thanks for listening.
