2013 roundup

So today is the day I do a round up of my year.
Ready?
Set...
GO!

January: January I spent some extra weeks at home. I'd just got together with Chris so 6 weeks apart was pretty hard. But it was great to spend some time with the family. I'd done half of my degree. I also started to produce a friends radio show on a Thursday afternoon

February: I had my first valentines. Generally I hate valentines day because I don't understand why one day a year is set aside to tell someone you love them and spoil them. If you love someone you should tell them everyday. And treat them. (this goes for girls to boys too.) But I actually enjoyed the evening. (I wasn't completely converted mind.)

March: I had a day trip to York with Chris in March. My family visited me for my Mums birthday. Chris turned 21 so we celebrated that with his family.

April: Easter holidays. Then a lot of work started. The second half of my second semester was crazy busy with loads of work to do. So I had to crack on.

May: I had an exam. My first exam for years. (I got 70% so it wasn't all that bad.) I got extremely stressed and ended up going home for a few days. But returned.

June: June was a mega month. I'd finished my year at uni and spent 2 weeks doing different things with Chris. He took me to the ice cream parlour, Lickety Split. We went to Alnwick castle and garden, we saw Cats at the theatre and then to top it off, we went to see Bon Jovi at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland. That was an incredible night. Then it was time to move back home. (And plan our first summer meet up.)

July: My brother turned 19. And me and Chris met up in July to go to York for the day. (Half way between us.) I then went to Maidwell. My first camp of the summer.

August: I came back from Maidwell with a broken toe thanks to crocker. I had my 21st brithday. A wonderful day. Chris came to visit me a couple of days later in Nottingham and we had a really lovely day. I then went to Ingestre. I was leading on that camp. A dorm of girls aged 13-14. It was an experience I love. And consequently, I'm returning there next summer and leaving Maidwell.

September: The start of September saw me head of to Forum. My final camp. This was the Christian Union training week. It was intense. And hot and sunny. And wet when it wanted to be at the end of the week. I came back exhausted. And with one week left to pack for uni. I headed off back to uni for my third and final year and settled in quickly.

October: October was fun. Me and Chris went to Alton Towers for a day. Which was fun. He got me on so many rides. We really learnt a lot about each other. And I really learnt to trust him. It was a long drive and I'm not such a big fan of big rides so I was trusting him on rides I didn't really want to go on. I also went to the Midlands Women Convention with women from my Church at home. So I went home for a weekend.

November: Not much happened.I went to Northumbalandia with Chris. That was the highlight.

December: Me and Chris celebrated 1 year together by going back to Newcastle to see Fenwicks window and back to the museum where Chris made his feelings known. Christmas has happened and now I'm here writing this. It's New Years Eve.

All in all I've had a most excellent year. I can't believe what I've done this year. It's manic. But I've loved it and I would not change a single thing. I'm ready for 2014. See what it brings.

Happy New Year everyone. :)
