Topic 2: Jobs

What did you want to be when you were growing up? Even now, what is your dream job?

Over the years my passions and dreams have changed and with that my jobs have also changed from business to front of house. Today as it stands I work in a secondary school as a Sign Language Assistant. In other words I work with deaf children and communicate with them the lesson through British Sign Language. I started working there two years ago and from then my love for sign language grew and I knew I wanted to take this as far as I could. But somewhere along the way I've lost my heart and passion for it. However, in a twist of events it has shown me what I truely believe I want to do now,  teaching. Im focusing on my future and taking the steps needed to become a primary school teacher. I know the journey will be long and I will not achieve my dreams for many years but I am determined and full of love for helping children learn.

So now its your turn, I'm excited to hear from you. Have you reached your dream job already? Why dont you have a little go of sign language?

Topic 1: Significant Other

I thought this would be a nice topic to ease our way into the new weekly feature. Plus its not every day my lovely other half will appear on my blog. So this is his few minutes of 'fame'.

How many of you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? How many of you are married or engaged? How many of you are living with your significant other?

Let me introduce you to Aaron:

We have been together now for 4years and live in our own little home together. I feel very lucky and blessed to have him in my life, despite it all he has been the one to keep me grounded, pick me up when I've hit rock bottom and held my hand on all the twists that life has dealt me. I value all that he does for me and know that, this man, will be my husband one day.

How we met: We met online through a social networking site. As much as I would like to deny it, It was myself who approached Aaron (oops!) I honestly just thought he was handsome and looking through his pictures he seemed fun. So i took the plunge and messaged him, the rest is history.

Our first date: Truth be told, I cannot really remember our first date (sorry Aaron!) but we both remember the day we met clearly. On a summers day in July, Aaron arranged to come over and hang out. We went for a walk to a local playing field and spent the afternoon chatting, listening to music on our phones and having a grass fight. Simple, easy and comfortable. 

Date nights: I am a firm believer in romance and even though we live together, date night is still a weekly occurrence. It doesn't always mean spending money and going out, sometimes its simply running me a bath, watching a film or playing board games.

So, tell me about your other half? Do they have any quirks that you adore? Do you have a funny story about how you met? I want to hear it all....

Thinking out loud

When I finally decided I wanted to jump back into blogging, my mind wondered to where I wanted my blog to go. Should it be purely all the girly things in life or an all rounder? I know sometimes there's going to be times I don't have a new product to talk about or a fashion item to share and believe it or not I have so much more I would like to share with you. Life is a roller coaster in all senses of the word and I'm ready to sit down and go on this ride with you behind me. So prepare for life's updates, a motivational word or even just a sit down chat. 

I'd like to start by telling you about my new weekly feature that I aim to introduce to my blog. In essence the idea behind it is to pick a subject each week to talk about. The topics will be random and completly my own thoughts so that you can get to know me on a more personal level. I definitely encourage you guys to participate too, simply leave a comment with your thoughts on the topic. The first topic will be up later today, so untill then....

Keep shining x
