Sorry I havent written in over a month...

Sorry I havent written in over a month, I have had so much going on.
Well firstly, Rob & I have moved, Our new home is wonderful, its a 2 storey home in a quiet neighbourhood in a beautiful little country town called Chiltern, which has been great because it means I can finally get some sleep.
We have been here for about a month now, we have most of our things unpacked and im just slowly going through everything else 1 box at a time.
I am still going to the gym and loving my new lifestyle, All though its a bit painful at the moment because I broke my big toe a couple of weeks ago.
It was my birthday last month, I turned 29, This is my last year of my 20's.
For my birthday rob and I went to Woolshed falls for a picnic lunch, Its beautiful there.
On the way home we went to Mt Pilot, a bit over a year ago it took me 57 minutes to get to the summit and I was determined that as a birthday present to myself I would reach the summit in less time & I did, I shattered my old time by 47 minutes, This time I reached the summit in 6 minutes 10 seconds, That feeling that I shattered my goal well, it was wonderful.
I am enjoying life alot more now, I still have my down moments but I am learning how to deal with them.
I am finally nearly under 140kgs, Only 2.7kgs to go till I am finally under it.
Rob and I got invited to Melbourne by the Eureka Tower & The Melbourne Zoo to celebrate my 1st year cancerversary in a couple of weeks, It was a massive shock & I am so excited.
We are going to spend the day of my cancerversary at the Melbourne Zoo, then at night time we are going to the Eureka Tower to go in their glass cube, Im really looking forward to it even though the glass box scares the buggery out of me. I am terrified of heights but im going to give it a go, What a wonderful way to celebrate being cancer free for a year.
What a year it has been, Cancer took so much from me, The chance to have a baby, Alot of my pride, happiness & health, and of course the family and few friends who walked away and there was so much more, even though it took alot, in a strange way it taught me alot as well, I learnt that no matter what life throws my way and even though I might fall at times, I will always get back up, even when im going through hell & I feel like giving in, I can do anything I put my mind to.
Ive learnt to take the time to laugh and enjoy life because it only takes a moment and your life is changed for ever.
There is a really old saying which goes
"Take time to appreciate the small things for one day you will look back and realise they were big things"
That couldnt be true, I now pay alot more attention to the little things in life.

Anyway I better be off, I will write more regularly now, Thank you to all those who sent me emails to tell me they were missing my blog.

Love Always
Mandy
xoxo
