Thought I'd update my blog as it's been quite some time! I guess I feel I don't have too much excitement to report on...but I can't complain, as life certainly isn't boring either :]
Last week we were on our annual camping trip to Fraser. It was fabulous, and for the first time in my memory of Fraser trips (almost every year since 1990), we had NO RAIN - every day was stunning! It was so lovely to relax with the fam, and to spend quality time with Braddles. Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up with the business that we don't realise how wonderful some quality, non-work time together is! And it's too rare! We are going to change this :] Spend as much quality and fun time together in the next 12 months as possible...before TTC and babies come along :]
Speaking of babies, there are three to be born to family and friends in October. I am so excited!! Brenda (my SIL) is due with a baby boy on 19/10, Amanda ('cousin-in-law' / my cousin's wife) is due with a baby boy on 23/10, and Chele (good friend) is due with a baby girl (she already has a little boy) on 28/10. It is all so awesome, I can't wait to meet each sweet little babe. Also, my cousin Naomi is due with a bubba in March 2010 :] Yayness! Babies galore!
Next year is the year that Brad and I will be TTC. I am excited about it but also a little anxious as I know there is a lot we want to do before babies, but there's a time limit so we can't put babies off forever. It's hard to find that balance. But I just figure that everything else can wait, but my youth will only last so long!
I have ideas about the kind of nursery I want, and it excites me :] We will have a soft purple feature wall, and on that will be this gorgeous wall decal in white, and white furniture. I just think it will look so beautiful <3
Brad and I have FINALLY finished getting the house to how we want it. We absolutely adore living here, in the bush, in our lovely house. We actually haven't done much to the house at all (except paint the roof and trim), but we have done a lot to get the yard to how we want it. We've put up fences, re-worked gardens, re-turfed, graveled etc. A lot has been done and the place just looks so stunning now...just in time for Spring :] Now that the house is done we will have free weekends and we look forward to spending all our time doing whatever we want!!
Until next time...xox

Hey, I came upon your blog from Rachel's blog :)
TTC is fun but kinda frusterating when it doesn't happen right away. We started trying in November 2008 and got pregnant in May 2009...so not that long trying.
Good luck with everything, I know what you mean about finding that balance!! I am already finding my days pretty full and the baby isn't even here yet!! :)
Thanks for your comment, Laura :] Yes, life can get hectic even BEFORE babies!! Congrats on your pregnancy xox
