Did January really just pass me by?

Haha... wow this years going quickly already. So many exciting things have happened so far this year. The Boy and I got engaged, we visited London, my Dad retired and gifted me enough money to write off a significant amount of debt, I've been offered and accepted a more important job at work. 2011 seems to be off to a good start.

Saying that, I'd like to take next month more slowly, settle into my new job and take stock of all the changes happening around me. And of course, once February is over the hubbub of birthdays starts again and I'll be busier than ever with requests for hand-made gifts.

Here's a list of some of the things I'm looking forward to in February:

  • The lifting of the post-Christmas blues. The emotional comedown after Chrimbo gets me every time and the end of January always finds me a little bit lost.
  • Chinese New Year. It's the Year of the Rabbit this year, same as the year I was born. Looking forward to a home-made Chinese feast!
  • Closely followed by Valentine's Day. A romantic meal for me and The Boy and love-themed treats for family and friends.
  • The weather getting a little warmer... maybe... please?
  • Finally getting a handle on our finances. We made a budget last year, we've tried it for a month and in February we get to tweak it.

Honestly though, what I'm really getting excited for is the Wedding, with a capital W. It's going to be a long way off, but I've got loads of things to share over at http://slogwedding.blogspot.com/ in the coming weeks. My Boy proposed to me, I still can't believe it and I grin to myself about it all the time. Ahh I best get off before I get too gushy on you!

Engaged!

I know I haven't posted in nearly a month but instead of making excuses I'm just going to drop a bombshell here!

I'm ENGAGED!!!




I started a wedding blog at http://slogwedding.blogspot.com/ (I don't know why because I struggle to keep my original blog updated!)
That is all :)
