No harm in jumping on the band wagon...
A year is a difficult amount of time to really remember in one stretch. Peoples lives seems too busy to really sum it up in one set of text. Anyway a few things to make me smile when I think back. (I will not talk about this years soccer here... everyone else can do that instead)
I saw my stern and practical mother turn to mushy mushy mush for her first grandson. I secretly hope she still has the same enthusiasm for when I have children. This pic was taken last night while my nephew was cooling his toes at the fan.
My brother finally married his beloved. The wedding was beautiful and romantic and everything a wedding should be. I should resent them for having an awesome wedding except after dating for 8 years.. they deserve the happy ending.
The Monkey is one of my oldest friends. I think it is really kinda cool to have a friend or two who knew you when you were uncool and teenaged and weird and finding yourself. The Monkey and I haven't really got much in common other than our shared memories of being friends for more than a decade. And that's why he's awesome.
The Lindt Fairy made me an awesome pair of hand painted lace up shoes for Christmas. And beyond her access and generosity with great chocolate, She is thoughtful and super creative and always remembers birthdays and Christmas with her special unique touch.
Heatherina is my best engineering friend and one of those few special people who can understand the fashion disaster involved in wearing safety boots and a business suit.... as well as the delights of getting construction site mud out of pinstripe trousers and ladies work shoes. Bizarrely, of the whole varsity buddies gang of 5 of us, Heatherina and I were the only girls and the only ones now working at voltages above 220V.
This is the guy who got me through my final year of engineering and his lawyer girlfriend. I considered him my bestest friend at one stage because we spent so much time together. We still see each other on a regular basis but as time passes and people get busy they naturally drift apart. I really miss him some days and his special brand of constantly streaming factiods and debates my way. I think his girlfriend really "cuts the mustard" and she is of course pivotly important to the varsity social circle to settle arguements with the legal perspective.
So after all this soppy sweet talk about my friends, I must also mention that I acheived a life goal this year. I took the big step and moved out of my parents house into my own little castle. It is rewarding to feel so independant and to plan meals and stay up late because I feel like it and to decorate and plan. It is so much hard work to cook and clean and wipe and clean and vacuum and clean and sweep and disinfect and clean. I miss my mommy and daddy and my kitty cats and having fresh fruit and veggies and cheese on demand without stressing how fresh it is. I realise I can't easily reverse this step and fit in again at home and there are many reasons why I would or would not want to go back home - but I can see a future where I might enjoy sharing a home and halving the chores (of course in exchange for sharing a bed)
My home has a pink rose bush :)
And finally MrT, so much to say about MrT... but I think the one thing I should say (given he reads this blog and will get a kick out of this) that honestly, truthfully, somedays I like MrT, somedays I don't like MrT, some days MrT doesn't like me, But I do love MrT... and he loves me :)
