New Years Eve 2006

This year had been a very busy, eventful, exciting, happy and sad year. To sum the year up in point form:
  • J and I decided to start trying to concieve in March
  • Experienced horrific painful sciatica for the first time in May (we believe due to a slipped disc that occurred when I fell down the stairs in 2005)
  • Car accident in June (car written off completely)
  • Broken arm due to car accident, J had an inflamed rotator cuff
  • Got brand new car (in bright yellow!) due to previous one being written off
  • Took J to the Sydney Theatre to see Umbilical Brothers
  • Bought plane tickets to go to the US to see J's family in February 07
  • Great deal of professional advancement and considered an 'asset' and valuable person in the Dept
  • J proposed (yes.. after we'd been married a year!) and gave me an engagement ring he designed
  • J built me my very own computer (very snazzy and all mine!)
  • Many wonderful movies/dinners/shows seen with J
  • Got offered a new permanent position at work
  • Found out we were pregnant - very very excited and happy
  • Turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy - emergency surgery, little one and tube removed
  • Family went to Peru; leaving J and I alone for Christmas and New Years

Looking at that list it doesn't look like the greatest year does it?

I'm so blessed for the past year however as it has taught me many things.

To name a few : patience, faith, importance of family and friends, how much people really do care about me, value of beliefs and value of self, pain management! (no pain in the world comes close to the excruciating pain of sciatica.. I will endure any other pain I experienced the past year again except the sciatica).

Next year is going to be a year filled with amazing opportunities, experiences and wonders. Next year is going to be a great year.. whatever it holds.
