Hi everyone!

I have not been posting on murmurs very much the last year, but some of you may remember me from a while back.
My life has been pretty tumultuous the last few years. Mostly my own doing, hahahah. Sometimes I guess we are a little lost, looking for something in all the wrong places. And sometimes what you were not even looking for suddenly becomes the thing you need the most.

There have been really dark times in my recent past, when I really wasn't my normal, level-headed self. It took a long time to come out at the other end of the tunnel. Which for the most part, I didn't even know I was in!

Last year, around REM's 30th in Athens, I met a wonderful guy. And everything fell into place. I guess all things happen for a reason, and therefore regrets are pointless and unneccesary.
We have been very happy together ever since. And are about to get even happier, because, some time next summer, we are expecting a baby!

I have never been happier, and am very busy living my life at the moment. Won't be around here very much, but wanted to share the good news with you.
Wherever you are in your life, I guess things have a knack of working out for the best!

Have a very happy new year, everybody!
