My 2006
Well every ones getting very reflective about their past year, so i thought i'd take a minute to give my run down..
I can't choose any one word to describe the year, but it certainly was the biggest, most confronting and confusing year of my life emotions wise.
The year began at the Rosemount Hotel, where i went home at 1am due to a drunken state. This day was also spent at Perth cup, feeling seedy but looking pretty. January progressed with me working at the mine up until the end of February. I spent way too much time crushing over someone that it was never going to work with. I lost a friend in a tragic mining accident, and watched my dad go through it all in the most courageous manner possible, and admired him so much for it. This all sent me into a bit of spin, which ended in the fundraising night in March that I helped to organise. It was this night when i drunkenly kissed a boy.. The very end of march was the departure of Mel and Kate on their expedition to tackle the wider world. And I missed them like crazy!
April 7th marked the first date with this boy, Greg, that i'm still with now. This whole relationship game was different to anything i'd ever tackled before, and it's made me a much stronger person. I'm still independent, but having someone else around is nice too. April 30th marked a good friends 21st birthday, and my mum and dads 24th wedding anniversary. I hope i find someone that will hang around me for that long, and to still be a great role model!
This was the year of 21sts, and i helped many friends celebrate these. I won't write a huge list, in fear of forgetting someone, but each of these helped to show what great friends i have.I celebrated my own on the 29th of May, followed by a party on the 2nd of June (that's right Raynee- i changed the date for you!!!). It was a great night, if my nana had been there it would have been perfect, but health problems meant she couldn't fly. Greg organised for us to stay at the Hyatt, which was beautiful and it was around then i started to think of us as more of a couple.
It wasn't too much longer after this that Shannan, Larissa and Nikki dragged their arses over to Kate and Mel, and i was left almost a complete loner. I did embark however on an interstate trip to Melbourne (to spend time with my Nana) and then onto Brisbane/ Byron Bay for Splendour in the Grass (with Adam, Chris, Irena, Will & Eugenie). This would have been a much better time had it not been spent with Hives, causing much discomfort. I later found out that these were linked to an allergy of mould (don't ask)...
Study was all going well, and i achieved average marks for semester one. seemed as though having a boyfriend took a toll on my study, but hey, i was having fun.
Time flew for the next month or two, Alexis departing on her contiki, spain and london party times, and not long after, Mel and Kate were getting ready to head back. They joined us again mid October and Alexis followed not long after. It was good to have an expanded friend group again! (Alexis, Vic, Louise, Dan, Allisha.. anyone i forgot... thanks for making it that i was actually able to have a social life during this time period). Greg broke his leg at the mustang bar, which ment our 6mth anniversary was spent at Royal Perth Hospital. I had to call up and cancel the dinner Greg had booked- we would make up for it another time.
October flew by with exams and prac preparation, babysitting greg and little patty turning 16. November consisted of prac with very little social life. I regretably missed Louises paint-balling adventure to celebrate her 21st due to stress/ way to much lesson planning.
November 26th marked summer holidays (as well as a few birthdays!). As much as i'd hoped again for summer work, i commenced working in childcare again. As much as it annoys me, it's money and i get practice some of my children-skills. early December my mum left for melbourne, came home 2 weeks later, and returned 2 days after that as my nana was very sick. Nana died on the 16th of December, and was one of the saddest times i've ever experienced. This ment the rest of us flying to Melbourne for 4 days. We returned and celebrated christmas the following day, but it was hard to get into the spirit.
Shannan and Cam returned xmas day after their global gallivanting, and our friendship group was almost back to completion. So Larissa and Nikki, we'll be looking forward to seeing you shortly.
And that leads us up until about now, the day where greg rejected me (his beautiful girlfriend!!) for family and flew up to Darwin. We have made up from our little tiff however so everythings relatively peachy :).
Best wishes for 2006 all, i hope it brings you everything you want, but still throws a few curve balls your way- coz it's those things that remind us just how lucky we are.
(i hope i haven't forgotten anything tooo significant!)
