waiting: 18 months on

In my last entry I spoke about how I should change the title of my blog to "Living" and not "waiting".
I am not sure that I am really waiting anymore - but rather taking all opportunities and going for it!

I think I have shocked myself too. I was never the "adventurous" type at all.
All I wanted was to have children, be a stay-at-home mom, baking cookies all day and going for play dates with my other friends who had kids.

If you had told me that at 30 I would be living in Singapore with no kids I would have laughed a nervous laugh!

But here I am!

No kids, living in Singapore with Mike, loving my job, traveling to places I never dreamed I would ever go and experiencing things that were way out of my comfort zone!
I would never in a million years think that I would ever go scuba diving - I freak out just snorkelling - but there I went and did it and felt such a sense of accomplishment!

So we are 18 months into our life in Singapore!
There have been challenges - but to be honest, in comparison to the grief and heartache that we have gone through in the last 4 years, they have been nothing that we can't tackle!
Team Gilmour has grown tremendously in all 8 years (nearly) of it's married existence. We have cried til we laughed and laughed til we cried!

Mike and I sat down and named all the places we have managed to travel to in the last 18 months and were blown away!!
NEVER did I ever think I would have an opportunity to travel there....

Our travels:
Sibu Island (off the coast of Malaysia)
