Recent happenings/learnt things

Let me premise this entry (?) by appoligising for the shocking quality of the photos, they are phone photo after all.


The first photo is of the beautiful Lisgar gardens (link) where Flo, Jono and I had a picnic lunch. Here I learnt that even nature that is not totally 'all natural' can truly beautiful. Check out these gardens. Places like these never cease to amaze me. These little nuggets of nature (even if sightly manufactured), tucked away amongst the bustle of suburbia.


The second photo is of my wall after I took the couple shots of Scott and I off and put whole heap of new ones up. He's still on my wall though, he was after all a huge part of my life. This was a really hard but necessary thing to do. I guess this was a comforting reminder that I'm really not a vindictive person and I am pretty proud of that. 






The next photo is of my win in Small World, 100 coins! Yeah! Fia, Phoebe, Jono and I played Small World, this surprisingly awesome board game. Here I was abruptly reminded not to be judgmental and that things I've never tried before can actually be quite fun. Thus I should try new things more often.




The final photo is of a little waterfall I found on my run today. I use the terms 'found' and 'run' fairly loosely. Due to the facts; that I went looking for it when I heard it and there was very little running involved respectively. God revels himself in the most beautiful of ways. I am trying to go 'running' more often maybe I'll even get up to a stage where I can say I'm going for a run and not have to follow it up with 'well walk' or 'I'm gunna try'.



Other lovely things without photos:
Our bible study had a what can you fondue night on Wednesday night, super yummy.
My boss just gave me another studio permanently.
And and.... I can't think of anything else which is a shame lists I feel are more complete in threes.

I guess I should mention the elephant in my life at the moment...
Ahhh the wedding (my ex-boyfriend's (weird that's the first time I've written that) brother's wedding) that I'm still invited to and consequently am going to. Am I nervous? Yes. Does my mother think that I'm going to have an emotional break down? Yes. Do I have trepidations? Yes. Am I ultimately excited that two people I care about are finally getting married? Yes!

To be fair I am pretty scared about seeing him at the wedding, I do think I am underestimating how hard it will be for me. I think that's a me problem I abhor weakness in myself. I need to let myself feel whatever comes. (But please God let the tears hold off until after the ceremony, on the way home?)
I am super blessed with the most awesome of friends. One in particular, Flo who's driving down and back to the wedding with me. THANK-YOU.
To end on a happy note: I got the perfect ribbon for my shoes to match my dress! I post a photo of my outfit after Sunday.
