What a freakin’ year!
Compared to last year, shit felt pretty quiet. But really – it’s been a year of tremendous growth, awesome achievements, and fantastic travel. Ain’t too shabby! Continue reading “Hello, Goodbye: 2018”

Hello, goodbye: 2017
And here we are, at the end of 2017.
I could focus on the bad shit — Trump, loss, depression, not becoming obscenely rich — but I’ll focus on the positive. 2017 was a year for: Continue reading “Hello, goodbye: 2017”
2016 – in review
Well.
What a year. I’m still kinda shocked that it’s over, because it feels like it’s January and we’re still getting ready to move. But for a year that gave me heaps of challenges, shocks (Trump?!) and periods of ridiculous struggle, there were so many good things that happened, and I’m thankful for the place this year has brought me to: more assertive, more honest, and *fingers crossed* more focused on what I need. To recap, 2016 highlights – Continue reading “2016 – in review”

New Years Eve Huntsman – ACKKKKK
My first Aussie summer nearly killed me. I will never take a/c for granted ever again.
We cooked so much at home and tried heaps of new recipes – some failed, like this buffalo chicken meatball sub.
Australia Day
Good Life Choices
So. Much. Visa. Paperwork.
But looking back at all our letters and treasures was fun.
Beach land! Slowly but surely, I am getting more comfortable with open water filled with danger.
I had a few really bad days, and a lot of great days.
I fell in love with the 27mm lens, and blood-orange roses.

So much baking
Seriously, Paint by Numbers is the best calming, meditative act

New Year’s Day
It’s a New Year! Huzzah!
We welcomed in 2015 with a low key party for two. Three if you count the creepy raccoon pillow, Billy Ray. Due to the craziness of Joel’s work schedule and the expense/logistical difficulties of planning a 30 hour getaway, we just opted to stay at home. We had booze and salty snacks, a champagne toast, Indian dinner, fireworks, pointy hats, and even an encounter with the biggest Huntsman I’ve seen to date.
2015 so far has been lazy, hot, full of couch hangs, *knock on wood* Huntsman free. Bodes well for the rest of the year, I’d say.
Happy New Year, everyone!
