back to the grind

Hello little blog. I'm back at work today after a lovely week off. I had one of the best birthdays ever. Ash and I went to a little town in Devon called Brixham. It was the perfect break. We slept in every day, took long walks around the town, had pub lunches, and a few really nice dinners out. It was so laid back and relaxing which is just what both of us needed. And of course he spoiled me rotten and made me feel like the princess that I am ;) I can't believe I'm 26 now. That is a bit scary and exciting. I feel like I have a really good year ahead of me!

Also, I got a new camera! I've been wanting to get into photography for a while now so I finally made the big purchase of a digital SLR. I really have no idea what I'm doing yet, but I've read the manual and have been playing around with it for the past week. Next week I am taking an intro photography class. It's just a one day course but I'm excited to learn some new things. I'm pretty sure I'll never be a pro photographer but I'm excited about this new hobby and I can't wait to take great pics around town and on future trips.

Speaking of future trips, New Orleans and North Carolina are right around the corner! I can.not.wait. I am in some serious need of home-time with my family and a weekend of boozing with my very best girlfriends in New Orleans? Yes please! Plus it's been way too long since I've sunk my teeth into a Five Guys burger. We're still sorting out flights, it's tricky with Ash getting the time off work and the date of my exam in May has still not been announced. Hopefully things will be set in stone soon so y'all can mark your calendars and get excited for my big visit Home.

That's all that's happening with me. Back to work 3 days a week at the design showroom and back to school 1 day a week boring my brains out learning about finance and economics type things. I'll be sure to keep you posted on my little life.
