The expecting!

Not so long ago, back in May on the day of my daughters 3rd birthday party we decided, on a whim, to do a home pregnancy test.
I'm not sure why, I was only a day late but we had one lying around so I thought "why not?". So off I went to pee on the little future changing stick and not even a minute later the faintest of second lines started to appear before my eyes. Shit!
I gave the mister the test and I think we kinda just stood there in shock before he finally broke the silence "guess we should postpone the wedding then?"
And so we did. We told me family 10 days later on my birthday and true to their form everyone was stoked.
We've only just reached 12 weeks and I have that long long stretch ahead of me. I'm not looking forward to being uncomfortable and huge, but if it's anything like the last pregnancy it won't be to bad.
We are due on the 27th January... I personally can't wait!
Watch with space for future updates haha.

So much can happen in six months!

Well hello there!

This will be my first post in nearly six months. SIX loooooonnnggggg months! Bloody exciting if you ask me!

So what's new?

Well, as I type this my FIANCÉE is in the kitchen making me dinner.. Yeah, I'm engaged now! How awesome is that! The lovely partner proposed at the most gorgeous look-out point after taking me out for dinner on the 21st  March, 2012. It was so romantic.... even for the cynic I am haha!

My daughters third birthday is this Thursday coming.  I have been an amazing mummy for three years now, I still find it hard to believe I have raised this absolutely gorgeous, strong minded, lovable little girl.

We are currently in the midst of planning our wedding, which is set for September 21, 2013. We had to post-pone the date due to "finances". We have found our perfect venue and pay the deposit on Monday, and we are currently looking for photographers and a celebrant. Planning a wedding is so very exciting!

We all went to Tasmania last month. That was pretty cool. Tasmania has been a place on my vision board for the last year and a half now, so I was pretty happy to mark it off my list. We had a great time there. We visited the cadbury factory, picked fruit, check out some old goals. It was loads of fun doing stuff as a family... just the partner, Tilds and I.

Thats pretty much whats been happening in the last six months.. besides working, easter and mothers day. We also got some pretty cool news to share, but I'll save that for another post!

New

New years is nearly here, as I post I'm in the car coming back from Gosford. We took Tilds to see the 9pm fireworks. She loved it.

I guess the purpose of this post is to recap the year.
So, was it good? To an extent. The good has by far outweighed the bad.
I got many beautiful experiences from the year, I celebrated my second year of parenting, my gorgeous daughters 2nd birthday. I met many amazing people. I let my hair down. I danced, I laughed, I went to the beach and watched the sun enter the atmosphere. I made friends, I lost friends. I hurt the person I cared about the most, and in turn was hurt by the person who cares about me the most.
I went out and celebrated life, I've spent way to much money, we tried new experiences, we played in the rain.

This year has been pretty good and I am more then excited to bring in the new year with my wonderful partner and beautiful daughter.

2012, I say bring it on. I'm ready and waiting!

Laugh, love and be merry. See you in the new year!
