“Memories become more precious with time…”
In the past, we have had many photo hiccups, from failing hard-drives, through to water on the laptop, iPad breakdowns, lost SD cards when they have been “safely” put in a little box to avoid being damaged and lost, when in fact, of course the opposite happens and they accidentally and painstakingly still get thrown out, with no back-up! Heart sinking and stomach churning insert “here”! Ugh, I sure have had my fair incidents with precious memories and moments being lost. I think that one of the worst was our European holiday which I accidentally moved the folder to the recycle bin and it didn’t restore, they were also the photos we believe where on the forever lost SD card. I think the universe just wants us to go back to visit Paris and Italy now that we are a family of four, what do you think? Lol. I’m a big believe that things always – happen for a reason!
So, despite a few years and precious moments and memories being missing on our now family PC, I have scoured my emails and blog posts from previous guest blogger opportunities to savour these precious memories to share. I am a big photo-addict. Self-confessed, through and through. I wasn’t always. On schoolies, I remember being so scared of breaking my camera that I think I took one or two photos. (probably for the best there! haha 😉 But now that we are a family and creating special memories, every day, I see the value of photos more than ever. They really do, without a doubt, get more precious with age. So here, I will continue to document, our life as, The Tickner family. But this little blog post beauty, is all about the past. I’ve been with my husband for 12 years in August of 2019 and we have know each other longer than that. Married for 7 years next year too, gulp!? Where does the time go. I really don’t know. I know that this Christmas, I hope to take out my trusty camera, (with my SD card holder for good safety back-up measure) and make some awesome new memories on our road trip to the farm! I hope to sneak some blog posts in along the way, so be sure to follow our journey. Next year, if luck is on our side, we might just have some more road trips. That’s the goal, for now anyway!
