Saturday, September 1

Wow, how long has it been since I last wrote on this blog, must have been ages! Anyway, so lots of things have happened since that time. I spent Christmas 06 with all my family (immediate) and Craig came up too which was really nice :) then it was my 23rd Birthday, and I spent all day doing different things, and actually had to have a quick nap in the afternoon, cos I'd worn myself out! Craig seemed to have a fun time on his 22nd Birthday, was quite funny! but anywhoo, Jonathan came down for our birthday's which was nice. Wow, well living with Kath and Emma has been realy fun, and challenging at times! Mine and Kath's friendship has come on leaps and bounds, and we are really close now, we share spiritual things mostly, and have a great time together doing that. Me and Emma never fully got to that stage in our friendship, and it might well filter out as time goes by, but we never know.
Then I had problems with my dissertation tutor. I also joined the worship team which really freed me up some more to worship God in my own way, and next year I'm going to stay in the worship team.
I became the small group co-ordinator and took over eight groups, one on each day of the week! That was really good, and a learning curve! Then I was thinking and praying about next year, and felt that I had to stay in Chester, and so I looked at jobs that I could do, and found that the light project needed someone to be a mentor co-ordinator! And so I met up with Andi Janes and had a chat with him, and basically the job description was EXACTLY what I wanted to do in a job! and I start on Monday!
I found facebook this year in April, and started to talk again with Matt (just as a knd of what are you doing now/ hows things going/ forgiveness) thing, which was good.
The best thing that happened to me this year was that I got engaged to Craig. :) And we're getting married next september! :D Am so happy. I can now divulge that the blog that I wrote in Jan 05 was about Craig, I think the date of it was the 28th, and it was talking about nice people.

So yeah, Craig proposed to me on a beach in Conway (Deganwy) It was a beautiful sunny day, and we had a lovely time, but then the ring was slightly too small (only one ring size down) and so we had to get that changed, which was a bit of an ordeal for me, cos I didn't want them to take the ring, and they couldn't adjust it, so I had to have a new one. It was a bit of a Goldilocks situation, firstly I got the wrong ring size, one too big, and then the next one was one too small but the next one was just right!!! I love it.

And now I'm worried about going back to Chester, on my own (Craig wont be there) and I will be on my own I think for a few days. I know that Clare is coming back for a short while on sunday evening, but then she will properly come back at a later date. It will be really good to see everyone again, cos I have really missed them all. it will be doubly weird that I won't be at university! But I'm happy that its over too.

Craig is going to be on the radio, doing a volunteer apprenticeship thingy, and hopefuly will be getting a job in and around Chester in a radio station. So thats all my news I suppose, until next time, which hopefuly won't be as long as the last time between blogs!!!
