A New Adventure

It's been an embarrassingly long time since I last posted - but this is now hopefully going to change!   I've changed the title of the blog, which used to be Naïve-Freda to A New Adventure because it reflects what I will be embarking upon.  I feel that reading back over a few of my previous posts has been fairly cathartic, but also enlightening - and quite often than not it has been both negative and positive.  The positive aspects are having the ability to look at where my journey has taken me from to where I am now - I have felt like I have finally been able to leave the past where it is and move on in my life.  I have also gained independence in learning how to drive (last year) and myself and Craig are looking to buy a house rather than be in rented accommodation.  I see these milestones as things that I can tick off my list, and I feel like I am growing.  Hence the definition of growth underneath my new blog title.

We've also gained a lovely cat called Henrietta, I've become an Aunty again, having the joy of holding my niece and am anticipating a new arrival in January of another one!  I also have a gorgeous nephew who is only 5 but is as tall as a 7 year old! 

Another side to my returning to blogging is in writing about our journey of adding an addition to our little family.  I want to chronicle the story as an online journal/ diary (although I will not be writing every day!) It will serve as a time capsule for me to keep, and, if others are interested, to read!

So, here's to our new home and our next set of exciting adventures!
