L, M, N & O – Alphabetical dates are back!

It feels like ages since I've had the opportunity to pop up a blog but we've still been chugging through the alphabet dates. In the last month we've done L, M, N and O. I had my tougher exams this week which has taken up a lot of time lately so alphabet dates haven't been...

H, I, J, K Alphabet Dates!

Having taken my usual haitus after the Christmas blogmas mayhem I'm back and ready to go stronger than ever. But it hasn't worked out nearly that way as uni seems to have the same idea and has thrown us right into the deep end once again. I really cannot complain as I love having so...

A Flying Visit Home

The last few weeks have been quite hectic. To start with I’ve had a wee surprise trip home this weekend which, as always, passed way too fast. It was lovely to see everyone and I’m so grateful to have such a supportive fiancé and family whose pride in me keeps me focussed. Here’s a recap...

T’was the Season to be Merry

So, Christmas and New Year passed in a blur of Masters degree applications, note taking, work and days out. I was delighted to return home with Joe and our piggies for Christmas and for the family new year meal on the 3rd for a few days. Those times were the post exciting but we've had...

Will You Marry Me?

Nothing compares to a person asking you if you would spend the rest of your life with them. Crouching down on one knee, pulling open a small box and smiling up at you. We had this once in a life time experience this weekend – Joe asked me to marry him and I said yes....

Home- Where my Heart is!

It’s so good to be home. The flight from Heathrow was quite good once we took off. We spent a considerable amount of time waiting to get to the runway due to an unfortunate delay. It frustrated me more than I anticipated since there was only that wee fly separating me from home. I was...
