Changes, blah and students.

Everything changes at some point. Locations, relationship status, opinions and so on.

Lately I have been caught in quite a few black out moments when I am just staring out the window, lost in a different universe of the future or even the past. A lot of things are changing within the next couple of months and I majority of them are for the good!

Getting married, yes! Less than 2 months now and after many dramas and downsizing to fit our needs (OUR being the key word) we are going to be a married, man. Soon I will say my husband... pause for effect.

My family is practically splitting up, not what it sounds like. My mum is moving up to Warkworth with my little brother. I HATE! that I won’t get to see him every morning and be there for him when he has a bad day, no matter how annoying he is. I won’t be there to judge his first proper girlfriend, sigh. At least I have a car so I can drive up on the odd weekend.

My sister is moving to Aussie. She's not just my sister, my best friend, my roomy and my work out buddy. One person that is always on my side. Yeah. Enough said.

Opinions change, respect is lost. Forgiving is easy. Dramatic or not.

Working with kids I am always met with past memories, apart from that they teach me things (unintentionally) every day.

The appreciation of a hug and not a fake hug tap, a real hug.

How awesome hand ball still is!?

When someone is laughing, it really is contagious.

When observing (sounds creepy) the way boys communicate, when they say “don’t worry" or are not heard after repeating themselves they just accept it and carry on back to their work. If that was me, I would kinda be offended, the joys of being a women. Boys/men are so simple. No offense meant. Applause really, I wish my mind would stop ticking sometimes.

I did a activity in my afterschool program trying to do something "fun". I played about 3 or 4 well known songs for these kids and they had to draw the main idea out from the song. 90% of my class are boys and they absolutely struggled with this activity. One song being Eenie Meenie by Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston, the meaning they wrote was that it was sung by Justin B. I was like -_- and I clicked half way through this lesson that guys just don’t see the meanings of things even if it is obvious! On the contrary the few girls I did have scored full marks. Ah bless.

Game of Thrones



Amaaaazing show. I feel like one of those people that jumped on the Hunger Games buzz without reading the books. At the start of the week I was unwell so instead of doing my usual YouTube routine I gave into the buzz (which I feel abit delayed in) and started streaming Game of Thrones. Fully not my thing, medieval times, regardless with the subtitles I got sucked into something that seams impossible to stop watching. I went through Season 1 in 2 days (each episode is about 60 minutes) and have just started the second season. With several different story lines and fast pace, high intensity action fighting scenes, this has become one of my favourite shows. I will start reading the books after I finish the second season. So good!
Oh and yes helllllo Jon Snow :)
Alrighty, my bed awaits me,
Goodnight, goodnight to all.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Friends is hands down my favourite TV show. I am a nerd and have all ten seasons on DVD. I recently have been watching Season One, which is usually my least favourite season to watch because the characters are not very well developed. Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel is the most annoying in Season 1, she mastered the spoilt rich girl in most of this season. One thing I noticed in this season is how gorgeous Lisa Kudrow is. She has natural wavy, free flowing hair that fits with her character's personality. In season ten she has platinum blonde hair. I love the slight strawberry blonde tinge she has in season 1. So pretty.

Season 1 with David :) 

Season 10 with Mike :) this episode is when Phobe and Mike get married.  


Favourite Season: Season 3 with a very close 7 and 10.
I love season 3, mainly because Ross and Rachel finally get their act together and are a couple! This season was the first to trail an episode in just one set and having different story lines all in Monicas apartment. " The One When Where No One's Ready" is one of my favourite episodes. My favourite episodes are always the ones when they are all together. 

Season 7: Monica and Chandler's Wedding Prep
The One With Ross and Monica's Cousin

Season 10: Funniest Episodes on this season! Wish Rachel and Joey didn't hook up though :(
The One Where Ross is Fine and The One with Ross's Tan. 


Favourite Character: Ross
From  ".......Hi..." to so many funny, awkward and dorky moments. 
This is one of David Schwimmer's best episodes! 

Rachel and Ross have the best first proper kiss I have ever seen on T.V/Movies


I am always gonna love this show! Lucky I am marrying a man who will put up with my all day Friends marathons :)

" I keep on falling...innnnn..."





First tatt and I assume wont be the last :)


You are so beautiful
You transformed me from rags to riches but I guess You always knew that 
I could talk about You all day

Today I told my testimony for the first time to a work friend and it is the first time I didn't feel restricted like oh, maybe I shouldn't say that because they will judge me but I stood in Gods grace and spoke with His confidence in me, that I am a living testimony to His goodness. I am finally ok.

I have been making a cheesy romantic playlist for our wedding ceremony, songs that Jesse and I love and so many of these love songs I can just sing out to God. I love Jesse more then my life but I so easily find myself feeling the same way for God, if not more.  Hope it makes sense lol e.g.

".....You are the one I want..."

"....You are so beautiful..."

"......I cant help falling in love with You..."



This song was written from God's point of view to us. Fantastic ♥







 Forever I will be yours!

Somewhere over the rainbow..

Recently I have been reminded that our time here on this earth is short. Regardless of what happens, good or bad, one thing we will always have is memories. No matter where I am something that always starts a memory is a song; music is a form of a memory. From the Spice Girls to Avril, music is timeless.
So here are a few songs that automatically trigger old memoires, what are your songs?



5 years old + Classic by Judy Garland and one of my favourite childhood movies The Wizard of Oz



I was 6 when this movie came out, hands down my favourite Disney movie.



Stop by The Spice Girls

7-10 years old




S Club Party by S Club 7



One Step Closer by Linkin Park. Entering my Intermediate rebel rock stage.



Gets me everytime. DJ Sammy, Heaven Tribute.



Overnight Celebrity by Twister. College days, here we go.


Amazed by Lonestar. Falling in love


My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne. 18 years old!


Don't Stop The Music by Rihanna, Clubbing, yes yes.


Meeting and learning about the man that promised to love me for eternity. Hosanna by Hillsong


Here In Your Arms by Hellogoodbye. Met my future husband



Present time, an old song but an anthem for my sister and I.



 


This Monday rocks, as of now!

"..Coldplay are coming to New Zealand!.." Is what I heard early this morning on my drive to work, so this is how my students felt when One Direction was announced and as I am sure Lady Gaga to some people? Coldplay has grown on my strongly for the past 5-6 years and I was so disappointed when I didn’t go to there last concert about 4 years ago which was around the same time as Kanye West, what a year.
10th of November the boys will be gracing us with there presence, one week after my wedding!
Love it, sharing my Monday happiness!

What really happens at 3am

Waking up at 3am this morning I found myself thinking about some things that I only recently worked out, or accepted. I have been going to the gym consistently from the start of the year and one class that I never miss is fight do, I love it. The class is a mix of boxing and kick boxing (get to the point) I don't wanna yank my own chain? but I know every move and would consider myself pretty darn good at it but it only came to attention last week!? that I have been doing a move completely wrong, my trainer is amazing and intensely vocal during these sessions and I just never clicked, this is a class that I do at least 3 times a week! Good thing i'm always at the front of the class... Point being, sometimes you can hear things but until they click in you never really understand. So...  
  • Mum is/was always right
  • You should automatically trust your family, regardless of your trust issues
  • Give people the benefit of the doubt, people are not as evil as you
  • Really don't fall asleep with the window open, the flu is waiting just outside
  • I like boy bands at any age, meaning I still like them, was hoping it was just a 12 year old girl thing
  • Nothing creepy happens at 3:15am
  • Missing people never gets easier
  • I really want kids, but not for a long time. LONG time
  • Hate feeling under appreciated 
  • Wearing the right running shoes are really important, when you put pressure on your body it makes sense to spend a decent amount of money to protect your feet
  • God wouldn't give you something you cant handle
  • Battleship looks like a terrible movie
  • I really like British beauty guru's e.g YouTube
Pretty random post, AWESOME! 5:25am
