The new year- as it was.

Why hello 2014. Yes I am back. It's been awhile since posts and these last few weeks I have had every intention of writing the very first two-thousand-and-fourteen blog post but each time, I would continue to ponder and I'll be honest, simply forget. A lot has happened in the last 7 weeks. No, actually thats an understatement. A mammoth amount has happened in the last 7 weeks. From finishing our jobs, to moving back to Victoria, to celebrating Christmas and New Years, to getting married (a separate post to come!), to honeymooning in Lombok and the Gili's, to starting our new jobs and finally, succeeding in the hunt for a house. We sure have bulk-achieved. 

With all the craziness over and long-lists ticked off, we are settling back into life in Victoria...as Mr and Mrs! I'm excited about this year and what's ahead. No longer is my brain in "wedding-mode" but instead I have created a new list of goals and to-do's. Continuing my healthy lifestyle and love of cooking will result in more blog posts about meat and wheat free delights! This also includes keeping up my good exercise habits. Since having to join a new gym, I've began a Saturday morning boxing class- the best way to start a weekend! 

I'm giving my camera the ultimate workout this year and hope to go the next step with my photography and pursuing my dream of becoming a people photographer. Travel may or may not be on the cards. Having returned from our honeymoon, I began to feel a little sick and tired of flying, however that feeling soon passed when I received my regular members emails from every single travel website I've signed up to. Mr wants to do the Camino de Santiago, something I am very much considering. Hello Sangria and Paella!

All of this while being surrounded with the love of family and friends, weekends strolling the streets of the city, being lazy at home or planning my next trip to the West to see all who I miss dearly.

I have to caption photo 2- Christmas day and my mother, in her true form, raced out to the garbage truck man only to hand him a Christmas gift and say thanks. Bless her kind heart.
