What an incredible year 2016 has been – our family is most definitely counting it’s blessings this year!
We’ve been welcomed into a wonderful community, our house has been transformed into a beautiful home by some very talented and patient contractors, and we had the opportunity to spend some fun times with family in Australia.
It wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns as my husband is still working on another continent. Plus there were other speed-bumps along the way, but for what we have and the life we live, I am truly grateful.
For all the support and encouragement I’ve received through this blog I am also extremely grateful. To be greeted with unexpected kind words of a morning is the greatest way to put a spring in anyone’s step!
From our house to yours, may there always be angel watching over you and your family not only at Christmas but throughout the new year – may your blessings be great and your troubles small.
What a thoughtful post, Joanne. So glad you are now settled at the edge of BC and spending time with your Aussie family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Perps.

Thank you so very much Jet for your kind words and for all your support this year, it’s been truly wonderful. Hubby arrived home safely on Wednesday so it feels like we have already won the Christmas lottery here – the gifts under the tree simply a nice bonus! Wishing you and Athena much fun and frivolity over Christmas and an exciting 2017! xx
