I was told The average girl begins to plan her wedding at the age of 7 She picks the colors and the cake first By the age of 10  She knows time, And location By 17 She’s already chosen a gown 2 bridesmaids And a maid of honor By 23  She’s waiting for a man Who wont break out in hives when he hears the word “commitment” Someone who doesn’t smell like a Band-Aid drenched in lonely Someone who isn’t a temporary solution to the empty side of the bed Someone Who’ll hold her hand like it’s the only one they’ve ever seen To be honest I don’t know what kind of tux I’ll be wearing I have no clue what want my wedding will look like But I imagine The women who pins my last to hers Will butterfly down the aisle Like a 5 foot promise I imagine Her smile Will be so large that you’ll see it on google maps And know exactly where our wedding is being held The woman that I plan to marry Will have champagne in her walk And I will get drunk on her footsteps When the pastor asks If I take this woman to be my wife I will say yes before he finishes the sentence I’ll apologize later for being impolite But I will also explain him That our first kiss happened 6 years ago And I’ve been practicing my “Yes” For past 2, 165 days When people ask me about my wedding I never really know what to say But when they ask me about my future wife I always tell them Her eyes are the only Christmas lights that deserve to be seen all year long I say She thinks too much Misses her father Loves to laugh And she’s terrible at lying Because her face never figured out how to do it correctly I tell them If my alarm clock sounded like her voice My snooze button would collect dust I tell them If she came in a bottle I would drink her until my vision is blurry and my friends take away my keys If she was a book I would memorize her table of contents I would read her cover-to-cover Hoping to find typos Just so we can both have a few things to work on Because aren’t we all unfinished? Don’t we all need a little editing? Aren’t we all waiting to be proofread by someone? Aren’t we all praying they will tell us that we make sense She don’t always make sense But her imperfections are the things I love about her the most I don’t know when I will be married I don’t know where I will be married But I do know this Whenever I’m asked about my future wife I always say …She’s a lot like you

I'm lucky enough to have people in my life who believe in me and this only gives me the determination to help others feel empowered and encouraged too.

I am lucky to be loved by inspirational and supportive people who help me to reach my dreams.

I'm sure as hell going to give those dreams my best shot!

For those night shifts and early mornings!

15/02/2013 & 22/02/2013 Interviews!

Hey my lovelies, I've had such a busy week after heading to Plymouth until yesterday with an interview today (madness, I know!) Last week (15th) I had an interview at a university after passing my English and Maths tests two weeks prior. When I left I felt okay but was so unsure of how it went that I worked myself up into thinking it was awful but we'll soon see when Track is updated. Today's interview went a lot better as far as I'm aware. After a morning of tests and a group discussion, only 7 applicants made it into the individual interviews so I felt privileged to have got an interview. After lunch we then proceeded to the individual interview which I felt went well but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. Getting onto a midwifery course means so much to me that I'm so over critical of my interviews and always work myself up. All of my interviews are done now so I just have to hope I've done my best and shown them what I have to offer. How is everyone else getting on? Love and luck to you all, H Xxx

Yawwwwnnn!

Another tiring weekend at work but one weekend closer to starting uni which is even more exciting! I cannot wait to never work in retail again!

Currently in my onesie (no surprise there!) completing more college assignments whilst it continues to snow outside. I have a feeling tonight is going to be a long one but on the up side it prepares me for night shifts. Maybe?

Hope everyone has had a great weekend. I'll be keeping people posted about my exciting interview this Friday! 

Lots of love,  X

Keep calm and drink tea!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! After a hard weekend at work and stressful week at college, I am relaxing with a cuppa! My feet are on fire but I'm snuggled in my onesie so everything is good again :) Looking forward to an exciting couple of weeks ahead with more interviews. Love and luck to you all! X

P.S. Excuse my boyfriend’s hairy legs in the corner.
