Life // New Resolutions for 2011

The Number 1 thing about 2011, is that we are going to be home in Australia :-) I almost feel like I could end the blog post there!

I mean the first week of 2011 will be spend in Nepal, but after that it will be all things Aussie and family and friends! I'm so excited!!

I'm pretty proud of myself in 2010. I was able to complete my 2010 'goals' which consisted of:

• To take French lessons
• Stop buying stuff online
• Go to Paris

Numbers 1 and 3 easily done, but number 2 was a little bit difficult!  In comparison to 2009, I definitely decreased my online spending, but it was still up there in the "probably shouldn't have bought it" category.

So for 2011:

• Eat healthier food (more home cooked meals; start putting together recipe book).
• Go to America (LA and SF [and also NY?!]- for my cousins wedding in June).
• Visit 2 new countries (then I can cross off "20 countries before 25" on my bucket list).
• Get a job (since I don't have one at this point for 2011).
• Buy a Chanel classic quilted black bag (my husband finally said I could - but it's dependent on the job issue!).
• Sponsor a couple of Nepali kids schooling for the year.

What's on your 2011 goal list? 


Hope you have a wonderful 2011 filled with fun, friends, food and fabulous-ness!

Life // Christmas in Nepal

Christmas Eve begun with a ginger bread decorating contest between my husband and I. Clearly he won (his is on the right)!

 Then we had an intimate lunch on Christmas day at our friends place. There were 3 couples, a roaring fire and a gorgeous Thai/Nepali/Swiss mixed baby girl :-)

 The table set...

 The cook herself and some amazing food she made!!

Me and my fantastic Christmas present (that I've wanted for a while - you would know about it if you have been following my blog!!) A wall-sized World Map :-D

Life // t's Christmas!

I can't believe it's Christmas already! I guess it really doesn't feel like it since we will be spending it here in Kathmandu, Nepal. It's a bit sad that we aren't home with our families and friends, but I guess we just have to look beyond that and the fact that we will be in Australia on January 14th and get to (hopefully) spend the whole of 2011 with our family and friends! Two weeks from today we will be leaving Nepal after 2 years of trial, hardship, excitement and joy.

Anyway, more on that later...it's Christmas!

And I hope you have a very merry and blessed one :-)
