I´m back......I think! :-)

Happy New Year everyone!  I know it´s already half way through January so I am a little late at saying Happy New Year - but better late than never!

If you have been checking the blog out you will notice that I haven´t been blogging very much! Sorry about that. I just lost it for a while.....but now I`m back, at least I think I am......let me see if I can keep at it this time. :-)

So what has been happening with me???!!!! Lots actually....where do I begin? 

The last time I blogged was the middle of October! I really do not know where the time has gone. Let me recap a little....

October: 

I had a week off school and spent most of the time around the house relaxing. Leah and I went to Sweden one of the days together with our neighbour Laura and her daughter Mia, we had a great day out shopping.


Sara and her Christian came to visit in October and we had a cosy evening out painting. Not often Sara gets all arty on me! 

November: 

In November we changed our living room around a bit. We got a new tv and a corner sofa. We were tired of never being able to see the TV properly so we got ourselves a sofa with room for all and where everyone could see the TV. We LOVE the new look! 

I also ended up going to London for a weekend in November. My niece wrote to me and asked if I wanted to meet up with her in London as she wanted to go see a show and concert but had no one to go with. We checked out flights and they were cheap so we went for it. It was a fanastic weekend. 

We flew out early on the Saturday morning. she from Belfast, me from Copenhagen and we met up in Gatwick. We already had a show to see on the Saturday afternoon. The Lion King! It was fantastic. Saturday evening saw us at the musical Mathilda. It was double fantastic!!! 

 On Sunday we visited Oxford Street and ended the day with a concert. 




Monday it was  up early and on the road again. We were once again heading home. We had a lovely breakfast at the airport before going our separate ways again. A really wonderful weekend, one I will remember for a very long time! Thanks Lauren:-)


December: 

A busy month for all I think! We had a lovely December. Sara and Christian came to visit again. This time they brought Schumi, the most adorable little dog. Sara has been wanting a dog for years and finally her wish came true!! We enjoyed having them here for the weekend....but I sure am glad I don´t have a puppy to train!! 



One of the things on my bucket list (the list of things I want to do before I kick the bucket!) came true on the 19th December. I have always wanted to see Don Moen live in concert. He is a worship leader from the States and I just love his songs. Well I never thought I would get to experience him live as he lives in the States but  he came to Denmark and so Kristian´s sister Hanne and I, along with one of my nieces, went to see him. I was not disappointed. It was a great evening of praise! It started at 6pm and was first finished at 10pm!!! I could have stayed all night! 


We decided to hold Christmas at home on the 24th  and so we invited Kristian´s sister Hanne and her family to join us. We had a wonderful evening. Then we held our own "English" Christmas on the 25th. Sara was home for all the celebrations but had to head back on the evening of the 25th. It was great having her home for a while.
We were both very happy with the pressies we got! 


On the 26th we held another Christmas morning this time with our neighbour. We had a great day together!




Between Christmas and New Year we visited my friend Anne and her family and had a great family evening there. Kristian´s mum also had a birthday so the whole family were gathered together at her house. She got a special present from the family. Tickets to go and see AndrĂ© Rieu in May when he comes to Denmark to give a concert and guess which family members get to go with her? ME and my sister-in-law Lis!! I can hardly wait! Another wish on my bucket list coming true.

In between all this I have had a few visits to Ikea with my friend Audry. Also a few strawberry cake dates with my friend Rhona. 

I feel blessed. I have so much to be thankful for!  

New Year´s Eve was spent at home with Kristian, Andrew and Camilla. We had a delicious dinner and then just relaxed and watched TV. At minute we headed out to see the fireworks and to welcome in 2014. Wonder what sort of year this is going to be?!!!
