Wow, where has the year gone? It's flown by.

Every year around Christmas and New Years time I think back about the year that I'm leaving behind and the year that I'm about to step into.

This has been an odd year. With extreme highs and extreme lows. It's been a very difficult year. The highs have been very few, but they have been incredible!

I feel I can't end this year without mentioning the lowest point of probably my entire life.
I've had to face some amazing losses in my life. Some by choice, most not by my choice. It's been a real struggle accepting this new situation. I"m still not fuly there yet, but I'm doing loads better. I've made some important steps to change some things in my life, and I feel very good about those steps, and making these changes in my life.

But I defenitely wanna end this year on a high.One of my few highs has defenitely been the 9 days I spent with my son in the UK with 2 amazing friends! We had such an amazing time here (meeting even more amazing people). Thanks for opening your house and hearts for us. We love you so much and can't wait to have you here with us!



The Twilight Saga has entered my life this year (yeah, I know, about time right LOL), and it's defenitely here to stay. I've seen so many great films inspired by people who play in the Saga, and also met some new people because of the films.
And Ring* Con was defenitely my high. I've met an amzing new friend there. Someone that has shown me that it's ok to trust new people, and to invest in a new friendship.
With that new friend, and my best friend, I met even more incredibe people. The actors of The Twilght Saga (well, those I met anyway) are so nice and so open. You can have a real laugh with them. Which is exactly what we did!

And I wanna say a massive thanks to the 2 people who've truely helped me to survive this year! My son and my best friend. God, knows where I'd be without you. You helped me cope and were there on my darkest days! I love you soo much and will never ever stop!!!!

I'll leave this year with some pics of the highs of this year we're leaving behind.

Winter Wonderland

Well, it's properly Winter here in The Netherlands. With snow and everything.

I totally understand that snow isn't enjoyable for everyone. It's a nightmare for the elderly to make their way over the sidewalk.
But I personally love the stuff! It's a beautiful sight and it's great to play with and in.

They say we're getting more snow overnight and tomorrow. I'm already looking forward to it.
We'll be having a white Christmas. That will be amazing!

We'll be having a brunch at my parents house on Christmas Day. My sister, her husband and their baby will also be there.  After that Christmas will be all about my son and myself spending quality time together. We'll be playing board games, playing outside in the snow and watching films. I'm sooo excited about it all!

Just one more day of work tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a quiet day. Just relax and enjoy the Christmassy mood!!

Have a great Christmas everyone!!!!


I'm not cold, honestly!
