Life Lately - December Edition

Like I said in my last post, I haven't been able to post anything for a while because of the internet and I sound like a broken record saying that but It's seriously driving me bonkers! Given that it's been a good couple of weeks since I last wrote something, a lot has happened so let's get started....


Well I can honestly say that I had a really uneventful end to my November. My sister and her partner, Kyal, went to Melbourne for 10 days so my mum and I babysat their not so little puppy Bebe. Even though during her stay we had to say good bye to a remote control, a cane draw and 5 pairs of shoes (I cried real tears guys) it was really quite fun but mum would definitely beg to differ..

On the 27th of November, I had to get up at an unreal time to catch a bus into the city so that I could get my first aid certificate for before my course starts in late January. I was really dreading it because it was 8.5 hours but it actually flew by and I met some amazing people and we had a great instructor as well who made it interesting and fun..

The teacher would give us cards and we would join up with a partner and someone would act out what was on the card while the other one had to treat them. I was always given the ones that required either a head wrap or a seizure, which wasn't the easiest thing to act out and the teacher actually hung around me so that he could watch me act it out haha 

That night I went out with my cousin to "Christmas shop" but we really didn't buy any apart from one haha what we did do was eat at Pancake Manor and my goodness, it was so good. We followed that up by a holiday drink at Starbucks. Bonnie took photos but I literally took none, woops

On December 4th, I went over to my nan's place to wish them luck on their holiday because my nan, auntie and two cousins were going on a two week cruise to New Zealand so jealousy kicked in haha I did however have plans that day to head over to my Baba's place for her to teach me how to make baklava...

This was the end result and it tasted so good! 

That night I went out with my Dad and his fiance for dinner and a movie. I failed at taking pictures again haha but it was such a fun night! We watched Mockingjay Part II and it was worth the wait, I actually got teary in a few parts of this movie because I read the books and was just so happy with actually seeing how things worked out for the character.

On December 8th, I went out with a close friend to shop for a dress that I needed by the next day for a photo shoot with my sister and I actually bought a gift for someone so that deserves a round of applause ;)

The next day, my sister and I had photos taken at Currumbin by two photographers, Mandie and Bec. Let me just say that if you're looking for photographers to capture some beautiful moments then definitely get these two to do it because they create such a comfortable and funny atmosphere and it just makes the whole process effortless. And on top of all of this, they have amazing prices


Just a sneak peak before a separate post later on...

On the Thursday, I got out of bed with a spring in my step and attempted to brush the teasing and hairspray out of my hair and went out with one of my favourite people in the world for breakfast and a stay-at-home movie.
The morning took an unexpected turn when we were driving along laughing and singing and then all of a sudden we found two dogs just wondering the street so we saved some dogs and drove them back to their worried owner..

I didn't get any photos of our breakfast because we were so bloody hungry but we did get this one before we decided to watch 'If I Stay'..

Even though I didn't exactly do much on Saturday after I finished work, I did have probably one of the best nights because I did nothing except for watch TV, which ended up having my two favourite Christmas movies: 'Elf' and 'Deck the Halls' one after the other. This was when I snapped this shot that I gave an explanation for in the last post ..

This photo will never get old, just zoom up on his face and thank me later ;) 

I hope you all are having a fantastic December filled with everything merry and jolly.


Lots of love
