My 2018 In A Nutshell

Yet another year is coming to an end, and I am unsure what to make of it. As most people in my life have observed, it felt like 2018 was trying to kill us. 2018 didn’t try to physically ‘take me out’, but my husband wasn’t so lucky. For those who don’t know, Husband Dearest broke his foot in April, had to have surgery to get all the bones fixed in place, and in 2019 he needs to go back to get all the metal in his foot taken out. Apart from him taking a dive off the stairs, a few friends have commented on what a disaster the year’s been, and I have to agree that it wasn’t the best of times. Still, when things weren’t falling apart, the year was actually quite exciting.

Belated Honeymoon

In March, Husband Dearest and I were fortunate enough to go on our belated honeymoon, where we explored Bela Bela and surrounding areas. It was a memorable, once in a lifetime experience. We got to interact with elephants and vervet monkeys, visited a crocodile farm, went on so many game drives it isn’t even funny… We even went on a horse adventure! Me. I climbed onto a horse and actually stayed on the thing for the entire trail! Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s probably not a big deal for the rest of the world, but I’m actually scared to death of being near horses (in general).

It was a truly special trip, even if we both agreed it was two days too short.
