As 2012 approaches- Scary I know!
I'm caught looking back on the past year,
* I travelled to Sydney by myself!
* I moved away from home, away from the norm and into the big wide world..... AUCKLAND!
* I began and completed my first year of my Bachelor of Business at AUT University.
* I got my first ever job, at McDonald's Britomart and have the best network of friends there! Supportive, loving, caring and helpful =)
* I've continually prayed and thought about my loved ones in Christchurch.
* Every day i've missed my friends.
* November 11th marked a year since I braved the bald and shaved my lid for a brave kid!
It's been a year since I finished high school, since i embarked on a new path and parted with my sisters i'd spent 5 long, hard, exciting years with! 5 AMAZING years!
Every month theres a new 1st time...
In January I travelled abroad alone alone.
February i not only moved out of home but moved cities.
In March I started at Kakamai Guides- my first time as a guide leader...
April, flew to Napier for the first time as an Aucklander...
May, did my first mammoth road trip to Napier
June I had my first birthday away from my mum and dad.
July visited chch for the first time since Sept 2010
August went on guide camp instead of Midland division kids camp. AND got a job.
September went to a rugby world cup match
October finished my first year of university, moved into a real flat...
November remembered the sacrifice i made a year earlier... without those who supported me the year before...
December spent my first christmas unwillingly away from home. Away from my friends.
All these things so little and insignificant have been massive challenges for me, massive learning curves and a massive emotional and physical battle.
I'm thankful for unconditionally supportive friends and family, my saviour who never leaves nor forsakes me and most of all the love given to me daily by all!
Hugs xx
