I started my round of What of a year! Part 1 but only got half way through before I felt we needed a comfort break!
To recap we are half way through 2012, my mood has lifted, I am back at work, I've started a blog & I've been married a whole year, okay?
I went looking for a car & ended up buying one! That was one expensive window shopping trip. Of course New Car Equals Road Trip.
New car smell & banging tunes - great combo!
I am settling in well at work, getting used to the office & patients again when I get a bout of toothache. This is the kinda pain that stops you in your tracks. I bite the bullet & decide I have to see a dentist, not an easy decision when you have Dentophobia. I manage to pluck up the courage & they some how talk me into coming back - cue my Reoccurring Dental Nightmare! I have to say though I am very proud of myself for finally facing my fear & getting my oral health back on track. I have a few more sessions before I am classed as 'dentally fit' (yes, apparently that is a term in the industry) but I am well on my way to a celebrity worth smile.
My birthday month. Another year older. My work colleagues really pushed out the boat & made me Cola Cupcakes!! I have a bit of a diet coke addiction, something I am hoping may be part of my new years resolutions, if I make any!
Ahhh my first holiday of the year & I crank up my knitting again.
My first Brown family holiday! My first time travelling as Mrs Brown! Just before we go on holiday we accept an offer on the flat - We are Under Offer!! & we are now on the move.
My second holiday of the year! Another first, this time my first time flying business class. I think it suits me!! Also my first time in Turkey & my first time on going out with Mr Brown for business with his colleagues. A lovely break but I did bring along a bit of anxiety on holiday.
Then my proudest achievement of 2012 - my Glass & Fire Walk for Charity. Enough said! Just goes to show I can do anything I put my mind too!
We are getting there I promise!!
A milestone - I have been back to work following long term sickness with depression & anxiety for 6 months. I am proud of myself & how I am Dealing with my depression.
I wrote a guest blog post for Black Dog Tribe - Loving Someone with Depression.
We have a new house & move in 14 days!!
And some how I managed to squeeze in another holiday before Christmas in Prague!
So as I wave a fond farewell to 2012 - I say "What a Year!"
What did you do in 2012? What does 2013 hold for you?
I love the pictures you took! & that cupcake is making my sweet tooth come back!
The cupcakes were amazing! & loved pulling all the pics together didn't realise I'd taken so many this year!
I used to have a wicked Diet Coke addiction too but somehow I stopped it this year. I don't know how or why it happened, but I'm glad it did. Although I still miss the taste sometimes.
I am really bad for it! I was hoping you were going to offer some tips on how to kick the habit! Maybe this year I'll manage to at least cut down!
