Boy, what an
emotional roller coaster the last couple of weeks have been! It all started a
couple of Fridays ago. The day had started off super exciting! Our wedding
invitations arrived and they were gorgeous! We were so happy with them and we
really needed to get them sent out as I was a little late getting them
organised. On the same day we also had our taste testing of the food they would
serve at the wedding. Yes, we got to taste the food options for the wedding and
pick our favourites. Yum! It was such a fun and exciting morning. Then the day
took a massive downturn as I found out that our Grandfather had sadly passed
away. Talk about going from an emotional high to low within one sentence. I
actually went to Mackay to be with my mum while she and her brother and sisters
organised his funeral.
And then, a
few days later, another emotional turn when we found out that our Madison Nappy
Bag had WON the My Child Excellence Awards in the Favourite Nappy Bag Category!
We couldn’t believe it when we saw that Gold Medal in front of our bag and feel
so grateful to everyone who voted. It really made our day as we are such a
small business and to see that everyone loves the bag is such a huge compliment
so thank you!
Our emotions
coped a battering again at our Grandfathers funeral. It was a beautiful service
and apart from Kym forgetting to tell me not to look up (when doing a reading)
it went off without a hitch and I think he would have really liked it. Seriously,
if you are going to do a reading at a funeral, just look at the words you are
reading, don’t look up at everyone!
Grandad
would have also really liked the wake! It was actually so nice to see all of
our extended family, some we haven’t seen in years, that we had a really good
time. The State of Origin was also on that night and we like to think Grandad
helped with that field goal because he loved seeing the Maroons win.
So if we
have seemed a little off or absent lately, this is why. We are getting back
normal and have been playing catch up (or trying to) all week. Thank you again
for voting for our Madison nappy bag and also for your kind condolences.
Until next
time,
Kym and
