2016 year in review: a month-by-month look back

What a year of epic proportions. There were highs, there were lows, and there were moments of humility and humbleness. It’s time to look back at all of it.

January

  • I ran/walked 100km over the course of the month to raise money for the Wish foundation
  • As a result of my sudden jump back into running, I uncovered hip issues that would still be under treatment at the end of the year
  • Locked in the venue for our wedding, and realised that I would be married by the end of the year
  • Started watching all of the star wars movie and finally understood what was so great about them
  • Nearly died from some chilli mixture thing Mario made at home (we were struggling to breathe because the air was so thick with chilli from the carolina reapers)
  • Gave myself a second ear piercing….accidentally.
  • Celebrated my aunt’s and uncle’s 30th wedding anniversary
  • Enjoyed the hot 91 sky show with Bel, Kat, Adele and Bridge
  • Enjoyed Australia Day at Emily and Nathan’s place

I’m feeling a lot of anxiety about the day, largely stemming around the fact that I’m not good at having the spotlight on me. I can handle doing presentations for … Read more

I’m ba-ack!

It’s been quite a busy year, and admittedly my blog hasn’t got much love. It wasn’t until a friend of mine decided to start a blog that it sparked my interest in my blog again, and I realised just how much I’ve been missing it. Once she’s got hers up and running and she’s given me the all clear to post a link to it on my blog I’ll be sure to share it all with you – she’s doing great already!

So, what’s been going on in Kelly’s world? Let’s sum it up:

Kelsbells does dumb things (episode 673)

2nd piercing
