I myself am settling into reality after a rather fantastic 13 days at home, marred only by a few days of sickness and a general budget blow-out. It gave me a good sense of perspective as to my future goals and I look forward to heading in a few new directions this year - career, financial, health and spiritually. A little deep? Okay well perhaps we just focus on the photos!
STOP 1: FAMILY IN CALOUNDRA
Out on my brother's boat on the Pumicestone Passage - a perfect day...to get sunburnt just in time for New Year's Eve!
STOP 2: NEW YEAR'S EVE IN BRISBANE
It was the Jodie-Daniel-Aaron reunion show this New Year's, and it was a winner. First stop, a toast to Mrs McLaren at the Mt Gravatt cemetery, which was a special time for Jodes and myself as we hadn't seen each other for over a year. Next stop was Jodie and Barb's new apartment in Annerley, then off to the Kangaroo Point cliffs to watch fireworks and reminisce on days of yore...
STOP 3: BUNKING DOWN AT MITCH AND TRACY'S
Due to lack of accommodation at Brian's, I had to source alternative arrangements, and I felt very loved that so many of my friends put their hand up to have me stay. Nathan and Alissa, Jodie and Barb, Ben and Kim, Shannon and Mitch and Tracy all offered their beds and floors and it was the nicest feeling to come back after a year away and still feel that I had a home to go to :) Everybody....awwwwwww. Award for the cutest of cute kids goes to Macy and Ava who kept me entertained (and awake) for over a week, and I can't say enough good things about them!
Ava, being Ava - and Macy and the boys got haircuts together!
STOP 4: BARB'S 30th BIRTHDAY AT FAMILY
The one benefit of getting sick and staying for 6 extra days was being able to go to Barb's birthday in the private room of Family nightclub - a place I've always wanted to see the inside of! Mitch came with me, and we joined Jodie, Aaron and a myriad of special acquaintances for a very fun night!
STOP 5: AROUND THE TRAPS
The casino from the new Brisbane Square building (I didn't go in), and a chance meeting with Alaina before she flew home to Canberra was a very pleasant surprise!
The beauty that is New Farm Park, and the magnificent view from Shelley's apartment in Festival Towers.
Why, oh why, did I leave?!?!?!
Anyways, the blog is all good to go. Check back for much more regular updates :)

These few words of yours are very, very interesting. The photos I can take or leave, but your poetic musings are timeless.
