Ending a dry spell

I never hoped or planned to be one of those pathetic chops who start a blog in hopes that their lives would be so ridiculously interesting that they would have tons to blog about and the world be waiting with bated breath to read their next post; but I was. And to my utter dismay and delight more times than not, my life was and is in fact, the exact opposite. Plain, boring and rather un-blog-worthy.



While I've grown a bit (both in physical size and maturity, I think) and now realise and have accepted how perfectly average my life it; a lot has happened since my last blog post. The world has changed, I've moved to the beautiful, sleepy town of Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands, got two new cats (Mya and Maddy), started 2 new jobs and I am now someone's wife.

My new hope for sharing my life in all its average glory is less about my hopes of blogging fame and more about putting my often absurd and boring thoughts into some kind of context. Looking back on other entries on this page I see how I've grown up, things that mattered 3 years ago are but a pin drop in the larger scheme of my life.

I'm now in my mid-20s with a husband and 2 fury babies, a job I love and live in a wine lovers dream town. Im more comfortable with my lack of fashion sense, tight thighs and tiny flat. I appreciate having my own space, a space I can proudly say I worked for and got. My husband is both source of all things good in life and my biggest challenge. There is NEVER a dull moment (even the dull one's are pretty exciting). All my siblings are officially grown (which makes me feel a bit old). I'm still pretty lazy about working out but see the long term value in it more than I did before. I work with a group of the most driven, intelligent people I've ever met and they often challenge me to keep up (which I love).



I've made new friends and lost some (a blog topic on its own if you ask me). I often find myself bobbing and weaving through feeling like I lack major life purpose and goals to feeling like I've conquered smaller goals daily to take me to the next big thing. While I feel a little more in control of my life (I'm a self-professed control freak) I must admit to still being a typical 20-something feeling all kinds of insignificant at times and other times like I've got it all figured out.

Meh, enough random thoughts. The dry spell is broken and I'm looking forward to sharing more in the coming weeks and months.
