#1/100: Life Update

Hello digital land!

Long time no chat. How's it going? Missed me? I thought not.
A lot has happened since my last post, here's a quick recap.

* I decided to go back to study! For a while now I've been really interested in Marketing and wanting to pursue this career further. After a few unsuccessful attempts of trying to entering the marketing industry, I decided that best option was to dive head first into the year long Sales and Marketing post-graduate diploma at Manukau Institute of Technology. I hope to share some commentry on this course, or at least give you some tips.

* I got married! Honestly the luckiest girl in the world, marrying my best friend and forever hype man. We tied the knot in March, in the sunniest country town; Opononi, New Zealand. We have some family land up there, close enough so both of or families can attend - and it turn out perfect. We were praying for sunny weather and light winds on the day, and oh man did He deliver! I might share some photos in a later post, i've been dying to share my experience!

 * I'm teaching design classes! Church is a big part of my life, and what comes with that is giving my skills and time to help build the House of God. Part of that is expanding the design team and taking on others who want to learn a new skill. It's been an interesting experience, I never thought I was the teaching type, nor had anything worth contributing but I've really enjoying imparting into others and helping them think creatively and problem solve more in their fields. It's more philosophical than technical at the moment, but these guys are so hungry to learn!

* This is an (unofficial) 100 day challenge! I kept saying that I want to get back into blogging, whether it was contributing to another space, post design or blog lifestyle. And with many awesome ladies around me who are so good at what they do, I was constantly comparing myself to them and was thinking 'would anyone even find value in what I say?'. So after discovering that there was a #100day challenge being organised, I thought it would be a good excuse jump in and just do something, anything, utilising this space.

So here we are. I have no plan with what I am going to say for 100 days - but I know something good will come out of this. If not, it was nice knowing ya! kidding, but thank you (if you got this far) for reading, I really appreciate it!

Cheers to the journey!
