A Year Goes By Fast!
Posted on 08. Dec, 2008 by Laura-Jane - Whimfield in Inspirations, Life Dream
A year goes by fast! In other words, I can’t believe that it has almost been a year since we started this epic journey!
About a year ago, Cameron and I were kissing our mothers good-bye, loading our trailer full of our stuff, and moving across the country in the middle of winter.
And suddenly I’m now realizing that a year has come and gone.
These four photos were taken from the same spot on the road during different times of the year.
We arrived in winter.
Then came spring and summer.
Spring and summer turned to fall.
And now the snows have come again.
I don’t know where this past year went. My calendar says that it has been about 365 days, but, in all honesty, it’s been quite a blur. When I look back on the photos in this blog, it seems that we’ve done a lot of work! Memories are strange. This past year, to me, is really just a blur of emotions and images. The specifics are a little fuzzy.
This past year has been a year of struggles, happiness, and discovery. I cried. Whined. Dreamed. Grew up. Worried. Laughed. And learned a lot.
But today I’m realizing that our home is warm, that the roof is on, and we’re here to stay.
