Update from Jen :)

To celebrate 6 months together a few weeks ago, we went out for a meal. We thought that the chicken looks rather like a heart...


Arw, cute stuff.

It was also our first VD together in Feb - we went to a charity gig where my Dads band were playing. There was a meal and free *cough* roses for all. Ok. The roses weren't free, you had to pay for them. But the tickets to go to the event were very expensive and we thought having to pay for the roses was a rip off. So we took them instead. No one knew. Gosh. Also, we won the raffle and I got this gorgeous Dove box set. I love dove products!



Last week we welcomed my nephew Noah into the world, the cutest bundle of joy there ever was. Well, on par with Jorja actually!! I love having cuddles with him so much, and I think Lee does too!



We've also babysit Jorja a couple times in the last month or so, and really enjoyed this. My one regret of going to NZ is missing the first year or so of her life. She didn't really know who I was when I came back and it's taken her months to "get used" to me. I don't think it's help that I often go days and even weeks without seeing her, my brother or my sister(in law).
But lately that seems to have changed and she seems to really enjoy being with us - we have so much fun reading, doing puzzles, even playing hide and seek. I love giving her baths and spending time with her in general. I'm so proud of my neice and nephew!



Lee is also officially "uncle lee" which we were really chuffed about and I think he felt honored.

In other news ... life has been really hectic.
I've been feeling quite down lately with what feels like and over load of work and studies. Some days I feel inspired and on the ball, but most days I just don't understand what the heck I'm doing and feel like quitting.
I will not do this.

Yet.

I've been reuploading my website, and using photoshop a little more. You know what I'd love? To be able to be financially comfortable, not worry about having to make ends meet. To be able to spend my days being entirely creative. I want to make jewellery and sell it. I want to push pixels to the extreme, and hate that I can't because I have to work.

Life's like that, I suppose.

Our time will come!

6 Months

So...

It is the 22nd of Feb 2009. Which means that Jenni and I have been together now for 6 months!

Time just flies by and you don't even realise it until it has gone!

The best 6 months of my life and there isn't one thing that I would ever change about it!


Throughout the 6 months we spent our first Christmas together and our first Valentines day together! And there will be many more years of spending those 2 days together!

I love you Jen and you mean the world to me! You really, really do! I just wish there was a better way to explain it! Seems love doesn't always let you do those kinds of things eh!?

The last 6 months have been spent with the best person in the world and I wouldn't change anything about it!

I love you!

Bit of a rant

Lee and I just spent two nights apart, which we realised is the first time we've done that since our first date back in August.

And I'm telling you, it's been pretty dire. I feel so lonely without him! Just someone to talk to at the end of the day, when you climb into bed. It's so nice to have him there to discuss the events of the day, etc.

And, oh.

Yeah.

So that's been awkward. I think absense has made us realise just how in love we are! Ew gooey I know, sorry.

We're gonna try hard to press on with our studies for the first couple months of the year. It's a huge priority that we both need to get under our belts so that we can be qualified and better ourselves in our careers.

But I'm finding that so hard. The reason we didn't see each other yesterday is because I had a lot of coursework to complete. I didn't get much done, to be entirely honest! I felt a bit blocked - didn't have a clue what to write. I feel like I have to do essays on the most stupid things.

Oh well.

We've been discussing renting a place together, we unofficially made it a goal to be living together by the end of this coming year... but once I started veiwing properties online, it sunk in a bit and we don't have the support we would like from some people so that's been a bit of a blow really. Made me feel upset!

On the other hand, we've only been dating for 5 months so there you go.

Off to work myself now, and Lee is currently in college. I don't finish til late, sometimes 7ish, so won't see each other til tonight but believe me... we're both counting down the hours!!

New Year

The start of a very new year!

The start of our very first year together and hope that it will be one of the best yet to come!

Hope everyone had a good start to the new year and have a very good year!

bday

Happy birthday Lee!!!

Wahooo, love birthdays, so exciting!

Pub tonight with all his friends, should be fun! Um, and yeah.

Christmas is near, and it's all so exciting!!

RAWR

Guess it is my turn to blog!!

Well, as of Friday 14th November my tonsils decided to become swollen again.

Went to hospital today, Tuesday 18th November, and went to the E.N.T specialist so he could have a look at what was wrong and see what the best course of action was.

OMG Why do i always get the non-english speaking doctors?? Can't understand one word they say!

Anyway, Got more antibiotics, Amoxicillin and Metronidazole. And then he told me to come back in 2 weeks [2nd December, 3 days before birthday.. uh oh] to then be placed on the tonsil removal list!

Yay! No more sore tonsils!!

I've always wondered what it was like to be put under General Anesthetic! My chance to find out!! woooooooo...!!

Other than that.. my lifes pretty straight forward :)

Sparkles in the sky

We went to Wye last night. Main purpose? We thought it would be a good place to scope out some free fireworks. But the weather was crap and we couldn't see much of Ashford... but then some 'hooligans' (honestly, I sounded like I was an old woman the way I was going on about how irresponsible they were being, haha) came along and exploded loads of fireworks in the field right opposite where we parked. In all there were three seperate groups of teenagers at three different times, all came complete with their very own firework display. Score.


Eventually, and I say this with love (because they were 2 hours late!), some of my friends arrived. I think then the purpose was to write loads of messages to Freya and take a million pictures to upload to facebook, so we coud make Freya cry, or something. She's my bestest ever best friend, and she's been in America for ages. Now she's in Auckland, NZ (sounds like home!), and I'm partly jealous, partly excited, and mostly missing her.

So we spent over an hour in the rain laughing and dancing, and we had a really good time. I was happy because my friends don't leave Lee out of the equation... heck, even Ash was hugging him by the end of the evening! And I was also happy because.. well... nights like this used to happen every night. They don't so much these days... people move on, yknow. But it makes it even more special when it's a rarity.

So it's about 5 weeks until Freya graces us with her presence again, and I actually can't wait. She doesn't realise how much she as been missed! Even by the famous Blitz....

On a more normal note... Lee isn't ill anymore, and life is bubbling on as normal. We've done a lot of babysitting recently for my two wonderful little cousins, Coral (2) and Maddy (10). My Grandad has been in hospital having an operation - he has cancer and has had a lump removed, and... oh. Life is a funny thing. But Lee is definately the best event of my life so far... and there's been some events, let me tell you!

Come home now Freya, I miss you dancing in my bedroom.....
