Rekindling my love for Agnes..

The last 2 weeks have been tough.
So tough that it's made me think about how far we really are away from our family & friends. I miss them all so very much. And I know how much they miss us & this beautiful boy that we have. That makes me miss them more.
But it's moments like these today that make me love this little piece of paradise we live in all over again.
It makes me appreciate what we have right on our doorstep.

Today my very special boys (Benson included!) picked me up from work at 3.30pm..they had a special treat for me..because it was Sunday..and because I didn't get to spend the day with them due to work.
And a special treat it was...
An afternoon to remind me why we live here & just how beautiful it can be when you make the most of what it has to offer...
Not to mention the love I already have for my complete little family. I truly couldn't ask for anything more.

This afternoon my love for Agnes begun all over again...thanks to the love of my very special husband, beautiful boy & the pup. Without them my life wouldn't be complete...and without them my day wouldn't have ended so perfectly ❤

2 0 1 2 to date..

6 months of the year have already flown past...
This one is for our friends & family back home who haven't seen us since Christmas! We miss you lots & hope we get to see you all soon....

But until then...this is what we have been up to ❣

A new beginning ❤

It's been a while since my last post...time these days just seems to get away.

But something in the past few weeks has sparked my interest back to my blog...

So here it is...a new beginning ❤

Happy Days..

My brother...
I love him & miss him...and I wish we lived closer so I could see him more often...
But the times we do get to share together are always special.


Here's a snippet of what we got up to while he visited Ol Agnes Town for 5 days...
It was just like old times...nothing but comedy everyday!
Thanks for coming to visit homo x x

We spent almost 3.5 years of our Agnes lives living at the farm...
The little old shack about 20km out of Agnes Water @ Captain Creek.
Situated on 1200 acres of land...whoever would have thought that we would have ended up there, living that lifestyle for so long, and loving it?!
But of course it never actually occurred to me just how many fun & happy memories we had out there until we had to remove all of our stuff from there for good...which wasn't until January this year...
We did the big old clean out ready for new tenants to move in...and the little old place scrubbed up so well (it looked much cleaner & more appealing now than it ever did when we decided to move in!).
But it wasn't until I was mopping the floors on my way out that I stopped & took a look around at what once was ours...
It made me sad! (Or maybe that was just the pregnancy hormones kicking in?!) Either way I had a tear in my eye.


SO...this prompted my next blog.
Our life that was 'On the Farm!'
Living in the little old shack that never failed to produce mould - and a great deal of it in the wet season! Stinking hot in Summer...but so warm & cosy in front of the fire in Winter!
I never anticipated living on a large property in my life. And I certainly didn't think that in my lifetime I would have:

• Hand raised a calf & named him so that he could be our pet!
• Learnt to ride a motorbike & loved it...and miss it now that I'm pregnant!
• Lived on 1200acres...and LOVE it.
• Lived in a house with a toilet & shower that was outside & share the toilet with the biggest green tree frog you have ever seen.
• Learnt that there is no such thing as locking a house in a rural area.
• Come to terms with the fact that spiderwebs would always out number us & to just leave them alone would be easier than trying to fight with them!

The Farm...the home that was so easy to love but so easy to hate at times.
It had character & charm in its own special way...and its this that I know we will miss.


Its nice to learn how to love the more simple things in life...and we certainly learnt this from living on the farm.
We will definitely miss what we had there...but without a doubt, we have some awesome memories to take with us on our next adventure!!
