It’s been nearly 2 years since I wrote a post for this blog. I don’t know what made me stop writing but I did, and now I’m back.

I made it through the final year of uni, qualified as a paediatric nurse and moved to London to start my dream job. I needed a fresh start and my move to London couldn’t have been any better timed or more perfect for me. I’m not the same person I was 2 years ago, I highly doubt I ever will be – but, I’m happier, more confident and appreciate life again.

I now have a niece, she’s only 5 weeks old and I haven’t cuddled her yet (thanks Covid…) but I have so much love for her. She’s so quickly becoming this tiny little human with her own personality and she is possibly one of the most spoilt baby’s on this planet!

My parents have both retired and now have their own holiday cottage and it’s beautiful, I wish I could live in it! Although Mum very quickly put a stop to my new living arrangements when I aired my opinion…

My sister is absolutely smashing her final year of uni, she’s helped with a book that’s soon to be published and I’m so proud of her. This year hasn’t been the easiest for anyone, but she’s still doing amazingly. 😊

And all the pets are still with us, Oscar remains the whirlwind he is and Arthur, George and Aggie are still relatively chill! 😂

The biggest change in life is my boyfriend. I genuinely thought I would never be in another relationship after the shit I went through at the end of 2018, but I gave myself time to heal and be comfortable with being by myself and then I met Alex. He is quite honestly the love of my life, I knew it from the moment I met him – pretty sure I got home from our first date and told my best friend I’m going to marry him. She is wholly invested in this happening and being bridesmaid! 😉 Alex is kind and funny and unbelievably patient, he has listened to me and taken the time to understand how my brain works, he has helped me heal and he has shown me what real love actually is. The first 4 months of our relationship was in a country wide lockdown and after that, I think we’ll be able to tackle anything! His family are the nicest people, they made me feel so welcome and a part of their family from the beginning and the only thing I wish was that I could have met his dad, who sadly passed away before I met Alex.

I’m going to make a conscious effort to write more things for this blog which would make my uni mentor SO happy if she ever knew about it! But it also gives me a space to write my thoughts and feelings down when my brain gets too full.

Until then, I’m going to snuggle in my Oodie (BEST PRESENT EVER🥰 ) and watch Tangled! ❤️
