Okay, so June wasn’t as much fun as May, but I did manage to not get dumped which is a success in itself and my boyfriend spent a total of 20 days at my house as well as me spending a further 3 days at his. We don’t get to spend as much time together in July sadly as I have a friend coming to stay for a week but I will be at his for two weekends out of the 5 that July has. It’s his birthday on the 30th and I’m looking forward to seeing him for that. Anyway, I’m on a tangent. I was supposed to spend…

If you’ve been someone who has followed my blog since the beginning you know that every May I fall apart.

March, the month I spend the majority of time out of the country.. of course I’m excited and it’s finally here! One week today and we’ll be on our way to Florida for 4 glorious weeks!
