Reflecting.
Monday, August 6, 2012 at 9:17AM This time last year, I was in New York City. Even typing those words feels surreal....so unreal....like it didn't ever really happen! But it did! Ella & I {and my big baby belly - Ryder at 27 weeks gestation} headed off to take on the world. It was a trip mainly for me. A chance to explore & travel & learn. A chance to meet my super-special online friend. A chance to grow & have different experiences and an opportunity to tick a shi*load of 'stuff' from my bucket list! It was a dream come true - made possible by my hardworking Husband, my store of long-service leave & my determination to live out my one, wild & precious life.

And to think....a whole year has passed since that amazing trip. We've traveled through 365 days of memories & moments since then.

This time two years ago, I had just undergone major surgery & was at home healing. Healing physically & mentally. We'd lost not only a pregnancy but some important parts of my reproductive system. I was hurting & confused & wondering if I'd ever become a Mumma again!!! Little did I know, what the next year would bring! Not in my wildest dreams did I envision it all panning out the way it did. Life's funny like that!

And now we're in August 2012. And yet again, sooooo much has happened & changed over the past 12 months. Big things, exciting things, scary things. I can't help but be reflective during such a significant month. And as my 30th birthday nears, I am finding myself thinking about the past, planning for the future but mainly - embracing the present.
What was happening in your world this time last year?
August, each year, future, memories, moment, one wild precious life, past, present, reflecting, travel in {Memories}, {My Life}

Wow I can't believe its been a year since your big trip already!!
This time last year I was preparing for Kirby's 2nd birthday and party...and now I'm doing the same for her 3rd, but no where near as organised lol!
Its crazy to believe that this time THREE years ago I was sitting around hoping and praying that today would be the day I would get to meet my little girl...she had me wait a few more days, but it was well worth it...I couldn't imagine my life with out her in it! And now as I sit here typing this another little life is growing in me...it really is such a special time!

Wow Claire! That's a lot in 3 lil years! Crazy to think that so much can happen in 12 months.
Thankyou for your comments - it was good to get out of the house AND with my camera.
Loved the Weekend Wonder link up, you'll definitely see me next week.

That is a big couple of years for you! Your upbeat attitude is an inspiration!
This time last year we were luxuriating in moving into our new home, the hut. I can't tell you how nice it was to finally have a place of our own.
Thanks for your comment the other day about my Mum, she's doing really well, the surgery went really well and her pathology tests were all clear, so fingers crossed we can put this cancer scare behind us now.
Wow, so much in so few years!! i love that you go out there and live your dreams rather than just sitting back and waiting for things to happen x
