What a difference a 7 year hiatus has made in my life!


Just decided to have a look at my blog after 7 years. So many things have changed! Too many things to write about which has happened during that time. A short summary should suffice:
2011 - Got engaged to Mr X ( yes, on my birthday!)
2012 - A very difficult and emotionally labile time as Mr X was away for quite a whilst.
2013 - 6/12/2013 was our ROM date.
2014 - 4/10/2014 was our wedding ceremony which was held at Rohrbacher Shclosschen at Heidelberg. Had a fantastic wedding planner ( Britta Kees). Thoroughly enjoyed myself that day and the photos were wonderful.
2015 - Finally completed all my pathology exams! Yay! - November 2015 - the day we found out that a new member was joining the family! Sweet!
2016 - 25/6/2016 ( The faithful day that we welcomed Baby E into our lives)! What a year! Truly a year of new beginnings!
2017 - Year of Jubilee + perpetual tiredness! Yes, Baby E has greatly enriched our lives - even when fatigue sets in. So amazing how fast babies grow. In a blink of an eye, she turns 1! Am eternally grateful to God for watching over my family and I. - Career wise - things were going smoothly. Received my promotion which was great. However, with a promotion it also means more work and responsibilities and less time with Baby E. Juggling work and family was tough at times. Working mother's guilt used to surface every now and then. In all circumstances, God has always been good to me and sending friends at a timely fashion.
2018 - The year has just started and I am sure there will be many more good things in store. This will be a Year of Grace and Thanksgiving. Need to keep reminding myself to be less negative and critical and to be more optimistic and encouraging.
