so that was september...

From left to right:

*Out from the dusty depths came my tights, boots and coats. It wasn't the happiest reunion but I think I'm just about over it now and ready for that thing we call Autumn.

*Nick and I celebrated 2 years of being married. So much has changed since that lovely day but I'm very thankful for where we are.
*This was my very first month of Freelance Fridays. Aside from the pleasing alliteration, it's been so amazing to have an official day dedicated to doing my freelance projects. It's made my weekends a lot more relaxing. Welcome to my studio...our dining table.
*Leaves are turning golden and lining the pavements. Nick's 'I love Autumn' t-shirt has been worn all through Spring & Summer but has finally lost it's irony.
*Plans have been underway for our church to move for a trial at a new venue next Sunday. For more info check out the Trinity West blog.
*My favourite children's illustrator came to town! We made the most of it by visiting Mr Jeffer's new exhibition at Lazarides and spent an evening listening to him talk about his life, work and inspiration at the Southbank Centre. What a legend!

Time flies...

Today we woke up to our 2nd Anniversary! Another year has flown by and I know I’m ‘meant’ to say this but it genuinely has been even better than the first. God dealt us a bit of a game changer and sent us down a very different path together but I’m very happy he did. The learning to live with each other and REALLY getting to know each other part of the first year has left much more time to just relax and enjoy each other this year and that's been loads of fun. We feel so blessed to see God use our marriage to chip away at our naturally stubborn and selfish hearts to become a little bit less like ourselves and a little bit more like Jesus. Things would be pretty different left to our own devices! There's no other relationship I see God's love and grace extended to me more than through Nick. I love that boy and in my more morbid moments I wonder what life would actually be like if he was no longer around and usually conclude that I'm gaining a much greater understanding of the phrase ‘like losing a limb’.

So how did we celebrate?...well by receiving a big, fat window into our old age together of course! I came home to my husband flat on the floor on Thursday evening. A bad muscle spasm in his lower back had left him unable to move for the previous hour and a bit. Anyway panic ensued, as well as a feeble attempt to try and lift him up with my puny arms. Paramedics arrived, gas and air was flowing, sending Nick into a trippy spiral and a late night trip to get some hard drugs was in order. To begin with he still couldn’t get out of bed so our day of swoony Anniversary fun arranged for the Saturday seemed like a long shot. As I was dressing Nick in bed, pulling him up and arranging all necessities at a reachable level we burst out laughing wondering how we ended up here at 2 years when this had been resigned in our minds for at least 50 years down the line. So tonight we’ll head to community group, and eat without a candle, wedding photo or romantic playlist in sight and we’ll postpone our celebrations until next weekend.

Today is our Anniversary! We were saying this year has gone so fast but at the same time can't remember what it was like not being married, except that it wasn't as good! I'm looking forward to another humbling year of growing and learning together as well as some exciting new adventures. As far as all my creativity goes, it's heavily encouraged by Mr Muncey so if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be doing any of this blogging lark at all.
