New Years Eve

So this will be the last blog of 2012, I'm happy and sad all at the same time.  2011 has had its amazing highs, and some very low lows.

My Beloved and I

The Highs - Our Wedding, what an amazing few days we had, from the start when I walked down the aisle on my beautiful Sisters arm, into the arms of My Beloved, a man I love and adore, and whose wonderful children have welcomed me into their world, ungrudging and with good grace.  Our Wedding dance with family and friends was an honorable experience, from the Grand March to being thrown over the Clark shoulders, every moment is a treasured memory. To the family bash at our house, where my lovely Lily and Amelia amused us with their new friendship.  The Wedding cake designed and made by Cake Affair was something I look back on with a huge smile, not so much when we were trying to finish it before the honeymoon, big bellies in swimwear is not attractive.  And then the Honeymoon, wow the best two weeks of my life, spent in the company of my new Husband on an island so beautiful that words are not enough to describe it.

The lows are what they are, and you have to look forward sometimes and try very hard not to look backwards, we cannot always get everything right, but that does not mean we stop trying, right or wrong we are who we are, and what happens to us makes us who we are.


Huge hugs and love are sent out from The Mather family to The Fullwoods, The Hobsons, and The Parkers, for welcoming us into their families and for being the friends that they have become over the years we have known them.  To Isobel Donald without who's advice and friendship I am not sure I could have managed, she kept me straight and sorted my scrambled brain on numerous occasions and I love her like the sister I chose for myself.

Huge snogs and hugs to My Beloved who has taught me that you can have your cake and eat it, and we eat it together.  He has taught me so much about love and life and I am honored to have him in my world.

Happy New Year to all my lovely family and my wonderful friends I love you all and wish only the best of things for you all in the New Year.
