Hello everyone!!
How are you doing? It has been more than a month since I even logged in to WordPress. Early November I was excited about NaBloPoMo, picked a topic ( a great one if I may say so) and the I went AWOL after Day 6. I picked up my phone a few times to continue but never did and the guilt added to no blog posts at all. I finally decided to log in and give y’all an update.
First .. Happy New Year!
I don’t think anything much has changed/will change but it is always nice to have new beginnings. It will help us to relatively compare and associate events and decide if it was better or worse.
So….2016? I think it was an interesting year. Some top things of 2016.
On the blog:
I had a mixed year. I started off great with my wedding series and lots of guest posts.
I started a Travel tab and wrote about my solo trip to Hong Kong.
I had periods where I was active and periods I went AWOL. I started with NaBloPoMo but couldn’t keep up . I hope to start afresh and finish the challenge I took up.
Personal life:
Well.. I got married!!! The whole planning and experience was awesome! Stressful yes.. but good 🙂
I traveled a bit more than I have before. East Coast, Pacific Coast, India, HongKong and some weekend local trips.
I had some unexpected physical and mental ups and downs in the last few months (which is what life is all about right?).

wait for it..MY BIG MOVE!!
Yes.. if you have been following my blog you would have noticed my posts about my long distance relationship with R. I finally made up my mind and decided to quit everything and move!
Aren’t clean fresh starts great? I think so. New place, new people, new home.. the last month has been interesting. I sure miss my “woman cave” but (married) cohabitation seems to have its own benefits ( like how he collects my coffee mugs around the house and washes them 😛 or how I can get away with just doing laundry and leave the folding part to the other person). I hope to write more about all of it this year !
I hope all of you are doing well.. I am going to go and start reading your posts now. I hope to be more consistent and disciplined blogging-wise this year*fingers-crossed*.
Happy New Year once again 🙂
Glad to see your post in a long time. I have made few trips to your site. Happy new year to you too.

Happy new year love! I hope everything went well with the move and I am glad that you are happy about it. Can’t wait to hear about your new changes. And blogging up and downs are just temporary, when life becomes more settled you’ll figure it out.

Happy New Year Jan! I don’t think anyone can blame you for being pulled in so many directions. I’ve learned when it comes to blogging to just go with it and when you are ready to get back to it. You certainly have had a lot of things happening this year! I look forward to the domestic cohabitation posts to see how closely I resemble R’s habits!
