Happy New Year everyone, I hope you had a blast.
My New Years was very quiet Digger, The Poppet, Frankie and all went to stay at my parents for the first time all together since Miss Poppy was born. I fell asleep early and was woken by the fireworks at midnight.
New Years kind of made me a little sad though. I saw soo many facebook updates from people that really didn't seem to have the best time in 2011. It made me feel bad for them, especially since my year was one of the best I have had to date. Sure I may have been waste deep in dirty nappies and I have not slept through the night for more months than I dare count. And sure some not so great stuff has happened to us this year (even around christmas) but I just can't help but feel incredibly blessed. I wanted to be a Mamma more than anything else in the world, it might not have been a BIG dream compared to what some people wish for but it was my ultimate dream and realising it... well I will never, ever be articulate enough to convey just how wonderful that was for me.
I really do hope you all had an amazing new years and are enjoying 2012. I have so much planned for this year, but that's for another day and another post.
Instead I thought I might share some of my favourite moments of 2011 with you all in no order other than that which they pop into my head ...
* The arrival of Mr Archie Michael Rose an awesome little addition to an already awesome family
* Watching my brother marry to lady of his dreams (heavily pregnant and fighting back tears the whole
time)
* The arrival of Miss Poppy Nell Meager.. light of my life love of my heart
* Actually theres a tonne of Poppy related ones, her first smile, her first word (mum), her first dance.
* Finally starting this blog
* Spending time with family and friends
* Falling in love with caffeine all over again
There's a heap more good stuff from 2011 and I am certain that 2012 will be full of plenty of happy surprises too.
2011 you made me understand and appreciate the concept of family more deeply than I could have comprehended before and I am so full of love and hope as we dive into a new year...
I hope you all are too.
