Tomorrow we wake up to a bright, new year but this year, my goodness… This year. Where do I even begin?
Looking back on the photos from 2012 I can’t quite believe all that has happened and how much our lives have changed, in both big and small ways. We made new friends, welcomed Daisy to our little family, settled into a nice routine in Bendigo, then uprooted ourselves and moved again! We’ve contributed to a book, road tripped all the way up to Queensland and spent a few days on a sheep farm with family. We have spent many happy hours trawling through the flea markets and antique stores in Castlemaine and Daylesford, eaten countless hot chips in the park with friends and been on many long, rambling walks with our puppa. Of course there have also been rough parts, but on the whole it’s been a good year. A very good year.
This year has been a very big one in terms of personal growth for both Reuben and I. In 2013 our goals, dreams, values and ideals became clearer. Our vision for the future solidified. We practiced gratitude and patience and were filled with hope. Little by little we are becoming the people we want to be and building the life we dream of. We have huge plans and exciting changes instore for 2013, and we are both so excited for all that lies ahead of us.
Thank you so much for being a part of our journey in 2012. As the blog world grows and countless new voices join the party every day, the fact that you choose to spend a small part of your time visiting here does not go unappreciated. We feel so privleged to be allowed into your world, and we are truly grateful to have you in ours. We can’t wait to share the coming year here on House of Humble.
So Happy New Year friends!! Wishing you and yours a world of goodness in 2013. (I have a feeling this next year is going to be a great one!)
