Can't believe its been so long since I blogged. This year has been yet again another year filled with excitement and new experiences, just when I thought it cannot get any better, we find ourselves more things to look forward to.
I've been meaning to update this blog but life has been so different lately, I have been so tired lately, its not easy to do anything with the amount of energy I have these days.
Anyway, 8 years ago I went on a first date with Frank, and now we are married and expecting our first baby together due in 2 months. How time flies and how life has changed for us.
Blog more soon hopefully, can barely keep my eyes open.
I love you Frank, happy anniversary (yesterday) and yes we both got too busy and forgot to celebrate, looking forward to many many more happy years with you. This year is probably the last year we will celebrate/remember this anniversary date because once the baby comes we will be too busy. Let's just stick to marriage anniversary from now ay. Sweet dreams.

My first promotion
So it's been one year since we moved to Whangarei.
I have been working in the same job ever since we moved up.
Last week, I got my first promotion to become the dispensary manager. It's going to be a new challenge. I'm a little nervous about the new role and expectations, especially since I only have 1 year experience, but I gladly accepted the offer and took the challenge. I guess everything works out for my career afterall, moving away from Auckland was a good move. When I first started in this company, I thought that since this company is so big with so many people already in the higher managing role, i will not get the chance to move up. However, I guess my hard work was noticed in the end.
On a random note, Frank and I were talking about whether we are a dog person or a cat person. I still think I am a dog person although I do love cats a lot too. It's hard to choose between them because they are so different. It all comes down to which pet suits our lifestyle more. Growing up, I've always imagined myself having dogs when I grow older and have my own home. I wanted my kids to grow up with animals, and teach them how to love animals the way I do.
However, I now understand why it was always so hard to convince my parents to buy us a dog. It's the commitment involved, not just the caring of them, but the time we need to provide for them. I don't want to be one of those parents who would not let my children have pets, but now ever since i started working full time and moved out from my parents home, I find it hard to give time to Pinky. She had to be left alone at home all day. I feel like we are neglecting her, and she deserves a lot more time and love from us. but with full time work commitment, it is very hard. She was so used to having someone at home all the time, and now being left alone home all day makes her depressed and anxious.
My dream of having another family dog when i have a family is probably not going to happen, because I think even when we have kids I would want to eventually go back to work, and that means no time for pets. I do not want to do the same thing to another dog, leaving them more than 8 hours home alone during the day. Unless ofcourse, I become a housewife, even then it doesn't necessarily mean i'll have the time for both kids and pets.
On the other hand, Cody is so much more independent, although he also seeks attention at night when we come home, he is so much easier to look after attention wise. Me being an animal lover, i cannot see myself growing old without any pets, so we might have to stick to having cats instead. Let's hope our allergies don't get worse.
My babies are not getting any younger, Cody is turning 9 this year, and Pinky is turning 8. We will keep doing our best to keep them safe and happy, and hopefully they will stay with us for much longer.
