ABOUT

Cherie017

I met my now husband eleven years ago in a seedy little bar in the Western suburbs of Melbourne.  I was bartending my way through my university studies, he was drinking his way through a recent football premiership victory.  We spoke, he immediately stopped drinking & switched to ice cold water on the rocks, & then he took a seat at the end of my bar & dedicated the rest of his night to helping me study for an exam I had the next day (in between my serving patrons, of course).  

He’s been my lover + my best friend ever since.

We live in the outer Western suburbs of Melbourne, but dream of a life in Melbourne’s inner west.  One day.  

We became a family 9 months + 14 days after we were married.  Our son was fourteen days overdue.  Feel free to do the math.  And now we are about to add a little girl to our family of three, she’s due to fill our lives with love at the end of July.     

So, I keep this little blog where I chronicle our lives.  I do this because whilst I can’t take photographs, I can string a couple of words together.  And I guess I whole-heartedly believe my family might just be grateful for my efforts one day.
