The year the world was “supposed” to end....don’t even
get me started on that one!
I have to admit that it was a rollercoaster of a year!
We began 2012 in our first real place that we could call our own! I loved that little one bedroom flat. It was ridiculously hot. (We had no windows that actually faced the real outdoors! Our flat was completely incased inside the building with windows into the sunlit hallways!) We were cramped and didn’t even have a lounge suit when we moved in! Yea we were sitting on blow up couches like we were in high school all over again!

But it was ours and I loved it! We spent 6 gloriously HOT
months in that flat.
In that 6 months, Hubby Dearest started a new job. Still
in the towing L
Lil Mister turned one!
I started a new job! The wonderful one I have now at the
farm! I love it!! And it has been a huge blessing to our family!
Oh...and we found out I was pregnant...again!
At the end of that 6 months we decided we needed to move
on to bigger things. We found a lovely two bedroom house on a farm 10km from
town. It was perfect. We quickly found someone to take over the lease on our
flat and packed our things. Only to find out on moving day that the owners
decided to give the house to family members instead.
Oh yea....so what does a family of three waiting to be
four do in a situation like this?
We moved back in with our parents! YAY!
Actually, living with them isn’t so bad and I loved the
time I spent with Ma and the closeness it brought between Lil Mister and his
Ouma and Oupa!
Times continued to move along.
We (Lil Mister and I) met our Ouma Pop for the very first
time!
Hubby Dearest got a new job...again! This time as a sales
manager for AutoZone! We are so happy and he LOVES what he is doing now!
We can finally plan things around a schedule and no more
driving to townships in the middle of the night!
We also got into a new house! Finally on our own again! I
love the house too!
And last but definetly not least....
LJ joined our family on 12-12-12. What a beautiful way to
end the year!
So looking forward to 2013.....there will be no more
pregnancy surprises! Hubby Dearest has decided to take care of that one! ;-)
My training will not be interrupted this time! Looking
forward to my first 5km!
Lil Mister is starting a new school.
And I am roaring up to get back to work and start in on
some new projects.
I see a bright year ahead. I know there will be pitfalls.
I know there will be obstacles. But with family...anything is possible!
Shana..
What a nice review- such a positive outlook on situations that others would have viewed differently. Best of luck in the new year!
