22.

Turning 22, the days when taking photos in cool mirrors is still acceptable, especially in a cute looking toilet...

So I know this is a little late but I wanted to make sure I got it posted! I turned 22 on the 18th September and had a really lovely day. I opened some presents, went into uni then went out to dinner with the family for the evening. It didn't stop there though! I had a mini birthday party with Tim and Natalie who spread bunting all over the lounge, then a yummy cake at home group. Then a week later I was surprised with a trip to see Fantom of the Opera which was fantastic.

I wanted to do a little summary of where I'm at going into my 23rd year... eek!

As mentioned above, I went into uni on my birthday- but this time to Brighton. I graduated at Winchester with a 1st Class degree and I'm not onto my next adventure doing primary teacher training. So far I'm really enjoying it, I've met a great bunch of people and I'm looking forward to getting into the classroom. There's just a lot to do at the moment before we get there, and having tips from Olivia is so helpful... I graduate from Winchester next week too which is really exciting, I'm looking forward to catching up with everybody. I'm getting there with managing my time, with pressing uni work and other bits to do at home. I've left my part time job to make more space for other bits which I'm hoping will make a difference! 

I'm enjoying weekly running with Tim and Natalie then James joins us for Bake off in the evening! As the season is changing I'm loving Autumn, this is definitely my favourite time of year where we can wear layers, catch the leaves and do some Autumn crafting, which I'm hoping to write a bit more about in the future. Homegroup is going well too as we explore Mike Pilavachi and Andy Croft's book, Naturally Supernatural, the challenge is implementing what we discuss into our everyday lives.

James and I are thinking about jobs along with making choices to help with our future decision making. We know that wherever we go God will be with us on the journey!

Lastly, we're beginning to put together the music for our Christmas song releases as similar to last year, with a few changes this year round. James is working hard on the arrangements and I need to make sure I've learnt them... We're both looking forward to Christmas, especially our little holiday! Is it too early to play Christmas songs yet?...
