One Year in One Post

So the last year has been pretty crazy.

First off, I’m engaged!

I started dating Connor on January 29th last year, and almost right off the bat my sister took up a new hobby of photobombing my new man and I at every turn.

Somehow, though, she managed not to scare him off and now we’re getting married this summer! Honestly he’s the most amazing man I have ever met, and I couldn’t even begin to describe how perfect of a match he is for me.

I won’t write much on him now, though, because I pretty much guarantee that he will become a topic of conversation in many of my posts and you’ll get to know him through those.

I’m also in my second semester of my 3rd year of university now! My life has changed so much since I moved out almost 2 years ago now–I am more independent, my hair is shorter, I have better control of my money and my health, and still hate how cold it is here in Ottawa above anything else.

School’s getting to be stressful, though. In psychology everything comes down to your last two years pretty much, from what I can tell. Last year was a breeze–study a bit before the midterms and exams and you’re good to go! Not third year. There are tons of projects, research volunteer positions, harder courses, and higher expectations from professors. Of course, I love the challenge, but I’m working on finding a healthy balance of time and emotional energy given to each.

So right now, my life consists of knitting, sewing, school, Connor, wedding, and everything in between. So why not add one more thing to the plate and start writing again?!

So that’s where I am! You’ll hear from me soon :)
