How Lucky Am I?!...

So, I'm having a happy day today and realised just how lucky I really am. I had a fun day in work and have met some lovely new friends. I have full-time job that I enjoy (which is hard to come by these days), a loving fiance, a wonderful step-daughter (who will be in Cardiff in 2 weeks) and a supportive family. Life could be a lot worse right now :)

Although, I was dreading coming home from work today because I had been in a rush in the morning, and knew I needed to tidy up... a lot. But, I came home and Nolan had tidied the whole house for me :) Little things like this make me realise how lucky I am, he's working two jobs and he still does things that would make my day a bit easier. It made me smile today too when I looked in the sink and I noticed he'd tried to make an omelette and had burnt the whole pan, lol. I had a phone call off an embarrassed Nolan then, saying how "he tried" and how "I make much better omelettes". He was like, "Kim, it was horrible, seriously", lol.

It makes such a difference knowing I can come home now and watch some TV, a bit of blogging, Facebooking, Tweeting and not have to waste two hours tidying and cleaning. So I'm relaxing tonight! Aaaaaah, thanks Nolan!

Kristin's new kitty!

This is "Pixie" :)



Isn't she unbelievably cute?! She's only a few months old and extremely hyperactive according to my sister, Kristin. I have to admit, seeing how affectionate Pixie is has made me a bit tempted to get a kitten myself. But then again, me and Nolan would be out all day, every day and it wouldn't be unfair on the kitten. Plus, judging from the past thefts of my washing line and wheelie bin, I wouldn't quite trust my neighbour hood to not steal it, lol.

Back to Blogging...

Wow, the last time I blogged was 9 months ago, how bad is that?! I'm definitely going to try and keep this one up-to-date, I was reading the posts I had written and laughed/cried at the memories that I had forgotten. So, for that reason alone it is definitely worth keeping up. So I'll basically try and condense 9 months of news into one blog post :)...........

I finally graduated!! Yaaaaay!! So I am officially Miss Kimberley Anne Charlton BSc (Honours) with an upper second class degree. I am currently a Customer Service Associate for ING Direct :)



Kristin and me also also turned 21! We had a lovely family day; had Sunday lunch with dads side of the family and in the evening Richard set up a barbecue, mum made a buffet, the whole family came over and we just sat in the sun all day laughing about childhood memories and drinking champagne!



Myself and Nolan also got engaged in May :) We will start the planning soon, I would like to be married by 2013 so we have a lot of saving to do! Yasmin is going to look gorgeous in a bridesmaid dress! She already can't wait to "have a big party where we all wear pretty white dresses".

Yasmin is also in full-time school, she started last week. She is LOVING it, and finds it amazing that she has "3 breaks not two any more". She also eats foods in school that she normally doesn't eat at home so that's always a good thing! It's her birthday in two weeks, 5 already!! Her main present is a Nintendo DSi with a load of games! She's slowly drifting from that "toys" stage and gradually wanting more grown up presents like the Nintendo DSi and an mp3 player! I think that's a shame, I was still playing with Barbies at 10, lol. But hey, that's what kids are into nowadays. We also get to have Yasmin here for four days after her birthday :) Although I will be in work it will be nice for Nolan to have some "daddy/daughter" time, I can join them at 5pm when I finish and we can still do lots of fun things then!

I think those are the main events that happened throughout the 9 months I abandoned my blog, so I'll say byeee until my next post :)
