February 2011

Is it just me or is this year racing by?

In the last 5 years I have seen so many marriages, births, significant birthdays and challenges that I am really starting to love what makes the 30's special. If the 10's is about exploring your local area the teens your fellow humans and your twenties the world. For me the 30's is about bringing all that back to the centre and home, kinda like you did the research and now you are living the findings.

I am also almost 3 months into my new job. It challenges Whirlwind for the most fun workplace where I am surrounded by creative, energetic people everyday. Below is the photo diary of Feb so far.
