Oh hey!
Where on earth have April and now nearly May gone??? I can't believe that it is nearly June. But on a more positive note - 9 days until we go to Orlandoooooo!!!!
So what have the last 2 months been filled with??
We have been getting the house well and truly sorted. I can not believe that we have only been in this house for 2 months. I can't even begin to tell you how much happier we are! We have got the garden sorted and brought a BBQ (and it has practically rained every day since).
I've also officially started my uni course - if you havent seen on Twitter or Instagram - I'm studying a Post Graduate Certificate in Healthcare leadership through the NHS Leadership Acadamy. I have literally spent the whole of my bank holiday writing my first assignment which is due to the week I get back from Florida. I am glad it is finally out of the way! I did have visions of sitting doing it on the plane! Phewwww
We had a lovely weekend in Centre Parc's back at the end of April. It feels like a lifetime ago now but we had a fab few days and a very relaying spa day on the Monday which was just what I needed.
At the start of this month I finally booked an appointment to get my hair sorted!!! I have been thinking about it for agggges as my hair has been feeling tired and drab for a while and I had been looking for a new hairdresser because my other one is closing down. I plucked up the courage and booked an appointment and OMG i am Sooooooo happy with it! It has really perked my hair up for the summer and I am already booked in to go back and get it cut before I go away.
A few weeks ago I spent a very lovely but very wet weekend camping with my wonderful Guides. Despite the fact we got soaked and one of the other leaders wanted me to sleep in the bunks inside I did rough it in the mud with the girls in my very own little tent!
The next couple of weeks may get a bit sporadic. The good thing is that we are staying in a villa and we have free wifi so I should be able to keep you updated on my travels! However if anyone wants to do any guest posts while I am away let me know!
One thing I am sure you will be able to look forward to is American Beauty Haul when I get back! If you have anything to add to my wish list let me know! I defiantly want to get my hands on some Its a 10! again if I can as I LOVED that when I used it before!
See you soon lovelies.

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Last monday we packed the car up and headed to Centre Parc's in Sherwood Forest.
I had never been to Centre Parc's before so I was really looking forward to it. We had lots of exciting things planned so I was very excited for our week ahead. We stayed in one of the Executive 3 Bed Villas with Adams Mum and Dad and his brother. The villa was absolutely fantastic! It had a lovely kitchen dining room and each of the 3 bedrooms had an on suite bathroom.
One of the noticeable things about Centre Parcs is that you are only allowed to take your car onto the site by the villas at certain times of the week (Arrival day between 3&5 and Leaving Day between 8&10) - since we got there at around 10.30 / 11.00 we decided that we would walk up to the village centre where the swimming pool was. We had pre planned this so we had packed separate swimming bags which meant we could just grab them. I would recommend doing this if you get there early - it means you don't have to worry about it.
Adam had promised me that when we got to Centre Parc's he would teach me to ride a bike (yep - I can't) so we went to hire a bike and I had a try, I could quickly tell I wasn't going to get the hang of it - I have very little confidence on it and couldn't get my feet going fast enough so we decided to go back and get me a Trik instead. Instantly the minute I got it I felt SO much better! It was definitely worth doing as we got loads of use out of this. This is worth doing on the first day/second day so you get the use of of it!
Wednesday saw me and Adams mum head off to the spa. Wendy had booked up a spa day complete with a Decléor Vitamin Glow facial which was absolutely amazing!!! I definitely think I need to start adding a facial in every month or 2 as a treat.
Overall it was a great week and I came back very relaxed and chilled! Now is the point where I spam you with pictures - you were warned!

I'm not going to lie - this wasn't even all of it!
It was wonderful how the wildlife just wandered straight up to the Window! This little guy even tried to come in!
Cheeky selfie with the boy!
The mummy and baby swans, they liked to come up to the window and tap on the glass
Mine and Adams epic game of Jenga
Me on the awesome Trik! I really loved this - I really want to get one
We even went onto the driving range and I hit a few balls about - I wasn't brilliant but I did hit the balls!
The wonderful Aqua Sana Spa! This place was AMAZING
Nothing like chilling in the evening with a fire and glass of wine!

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, tomorrow we are off to Centre Parcs for the week! I am really looking forward to it!!! I feel like I haven't had a holiday in aggggges (Ibiza in May just seems forever ago)
I have never been to Centre Parcs before but Adam has been quite a few times. We are going to the one in Sherwood Forest and will be spending the week in a luxury villa (hello hot tub) with Adams mum and dad and brother.
We had lots of activities planned, Bowling, badminton, the boys are going off to do Archery and the tree tops climb while me and Adams mum have a wonderful spa day complete with lunch and a facial and probably the most scary thing is Adam is going to attempt to teach me to ride a bike. Now I have 0 co-ordination and balance so it should be interesting!
I will be sure to update you on all our adventures when we get back.

First of all how is it the 1st of September tomorrow! This year is flying by seriously fast. I have done a serious amount of thinking over the last few weeks and made a lot of changes. I won't bore you all with the details but work wise its time for a change and I have decided to try and get back to what I love - Teaching. I am taking a leap of faith in order to do it so I just hope that it pays off - if you can all just keep your fingers cross that this works then that would be fab.
I was thinking the other day how much my life has changed in the past 9 months. At the start of the year I was contemplating another year of being alone while it felt like everyone around me was getting married and having babies. Now here I am 9 months down the line, sitting blogging in my own living room while my fiancé watches some crap on the TV. I couldn't have even imagined that this is what my life would be like!
I think I have finally realised how much my life has changed and so have my priorities. I love my little blog and I always will but I think in the past I have felt pressured into feeling the need to post content regularly. I want to be able to sit here and produce a new post for you every day but at the moment its just not feasible. Adam and I work sometimes the same shifts and sometimes different so any time we have we spend with each other rather than me behind a computer (with the exception of times like right now when he is watching a film i'm not bothered about). Rather than being able to sit on a sunday and write 5 or 6 blog posts for the week I have food shopping, planning, cleaning, cooking to think about.
I have decided to take some of the pressure away from myself. I love my blog and I am not going anywhere but I know for a fact that the posts right now may be a little few and far between. Next weekend we are in Sheffield to celebrate Adam's grandma's birthday then in a couple of weeks we are off to Centre Parks with his mum and dad and brother which I am really looking forward to as I have never been and me and Adams mum are going to the Spa one day while the boys go off and do boy things! I can't promise I am going to be able to update you every week or every day but when I can I will check in, hopefully by the end of September I should be able to get some sort of schedule where I can find myself some time to sit down and catch up with you and have a bit of me time for blogging! It seems the wedding fayres are up and kicking off - we are going to our first one next week and then me, my mum and Adams mum are going to the national one in Manchester on the 11th October which I am SO excited about!!! I'll be sure to keep you updated and catch up with you when I can :)
Catch me up on what you have all been up with!!! xxx
