Trying to get back to normal!

One thing that I didn't think was so hard is to write a blog post after several weeks MIA. But here I am struggling to find the words to describe the somewhat short journey ive been on since arriving back home.

I arrived home from South Africa on December 6th which for many people started the run up to Christmas, for me it started the question " what next? " What would I do in my future.
After much consideration I decided to drop all questions and let Christmas pass before I worried about ' Tomorrow '

The Christmas celebrations started the very night I returned home at the Wyldlife Christmas Club, we played silly games, had a halarious Christmas Calculator skit and we even met santa even if it was in the form of a good friend of mine Jordan :)
The next Christmasy thing to look forward to was Moonlight Missions that is held at my church every year, this year the theme was frozen. As always it proved to be a good night.

Now with only 5 days till Christmas everyone excited for Santa and presents there was only one thing on my mind...

The next few days proved to be manic with visits to the family, Christmas eve communion at church and the Christmas day service celebrating the main reason for the season... JESUS, the fact that he came into a normal family in the most innocent of ways 'a baby ' born into a mess so that he could fix our Mess.

Christmas Day arrived and it was off to Grandas to see the family and surprise him with his present :) A Shitzu ( excuse the spelling ) called Jake :D BUT one thing that I knew we were all thinking was " if only Nanny Violet was here ". My dad, my brother and myself then indulged in the beautest Christmas dinner ever at my Aunty and Uncles.
Christmas Day Night was then spent at my Great Aunts house, who hosts us every single year for nibbles and drinks :)

Boxing day was again spent at my grandas house, all the boys where at their annual boxing day football match (Linfield vs Glentoran). Boxing day was a great day with good food and even better company :)

I don't know much but one thing I do know is that my Nanny Violet would have been soo proud of the family all pulling together to have a really great Christmas. 

It's now 30th December 2014, the year is almost over and now I am still answering the same questions "what's next? "
Ive just applied for my dream job,  I have the greatest friends and family ever so I guess the answer is "Just wait and see"
And to
Live life everyday as it comes because tomorrow is never guaranteed ♥

This is a messy blog post and again I'm sorry for the lack of structure.

Busy doing nothing

ILet me say one thing first,  im sorry (kind of) for not posting in six weeks but I've been busy doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

In other words I have no real reason for my absence.
Let me rewind to three weeks ago when I was greeted at the airport by four of the greatest people I know,  my bestfriends. Straight home to leave the bags,  a quick chat with my dad and then off to the church for a Chinese and lots of fun at Wyldlife. 
It was such a great day seeing everyone again after 10 amazing weeks In South Africa ♥


 

What have you been doing since then I hear you ask ( or not but ill tell you anyway)

Ive been sorting pictures, been at moonlight missions,  and Christmas time. 
See ? I told you I've done nothing.
This post was just a follow up ans im going to try and post regularly ( not making any promises tho)

Much love... Courtney xx
