The rest of 2009….

 

Wow, it’s been a while since I last blogged.

2009! what a year! At first it didn’t look very promising for us with the GFC at the start of the year and us having to come back home early, ending

our trip abruptly in London. But the second half of the year has been very very good. We (in a nutshell) during the last 6 months have;

- Moved north to Brisvegas;

- Found great jobs;

- Found a great place to live in;

- See some of the local tourist spots in and around Brisbane  (when talking to the locals about Brisbane, they say the best part  about Brisbane is everything around it!)

- Got back on our feet, and integrate our way back into the rat race.

last but not least, the best thing about 2009 is that,

- We’re having a baby!!!

 

 

It’s been a massive year for us. And next year it’s going to be even bigger with two becoming three :)

This time last year we where in Henley, England spending Christmas in an old English cottage, with Bernadette’s Family in London. This year we are at the opposite end of the world, Hellyer, Australia. The weather is beautiful, the food is great and the company even better.

I had my 30th birthday this year,  Berna couldn’t make it beccause of the pregnancy, but my mum managed to put on an amazing party with family and close friends. It was amazing, seeing people I grew up with as kids all grown up with there kids. Time really does fly. The best part of the party was seeing some of my closest friends there, having a laugh about old times, speaking in our parents the Filo accents and laughing about it. Amazing, how all those memories from when we where young kids still burn strongly in our hearts. The last time this group of people got together was when I had my 21st birthday, which was 9 years ago! Time goes by quick. It was a great night, and was topped of by one of the funniest card opening sessions, probably in card opening recorded history! (it’s one of those, you had to be there moments)

The biggest thing for Bernadette and I next year will be our little one, our little LeoBee (it’s what we have called our baby for now) or LeoBee whan kenobee… I like it! LeoBee is our little jedi warrior! lol. This I think will be the best adventure of all.

It will be great, all those sleepless nights, all those loud crying sessions, all those temper tantrums, and that’s just me, imagine what LeoBee has installed for us.

You can only really take it one step at a time, which is what we plan to do in the new year.

Hopefully, 2010 will be even bigger than 2009!
Peace
