Well would you look at that... ONE more week! That means this is the last blog post I'll write in Ireland for awhile. Weird. This time next week I will be coming to you from a sunny and apparently very humid Toronto. I am not sure yet will I get a chance to blog the Monday I arrive but not too worry I will surely have time to put up a few photos on Facebook.
So as I've had a busy few weeks getting organised for my big move, last week and the weekend was no different.Busy, busy, busy. I had to do lots of boring jobs like bank stuff and insurance etc but I also got to do exciting things like pack, make cheesecakes and get ready for a party my Mum threw for me on Saturday.
Even though the weather was shocking this weekend we still went ahead and had a party in my house on Saturday, my Mum invited her brothers and sisters and close family friends up to the house, it was meant to be in the garden, we had a marquee set up and all. I had pictured that people would be out in the garden enjoying the sun and floating around like fairies(Jokes). Instead it was lashing rain and no one got to float anywhere, well maybe if they brought an inflatable dingy they would of floated on the puddles in the garden.
Weirdness aside, it was a great night! There was so much food and desserts and it finished up with a great sing song until 4 am. I felt so lucky to have my family around me wishing me luck, saying really kind words and giving me such generous gifts. I opened my cards on Sunday and one of my Mums friend had given me a lottery ticket for that night, when I checked the numbers I won €76, I was ecstatic!
So after my busy weekend, me and my Mum booked ourselves into Fota Island Spa for whats called Afternoon Indulgence, you get a treatment, the use of the facilities and afternoon tea and its very reasonable. It was so relaxing and a lovely way to spend quality time with my Mum before I go.
This week is going to be mad! Lots to do, lots of people to meet before I go, going away party Friday and heading to Dublin Sunday night to fly out from there on Monday. I'm not going to lie, I am all over the place about moving. One minute I get really excited especially when I look at pictures or get snapchats from friends that are over there but the next minute I'm an emotional wreck! I have asked cousins. friends and anyone I know who has been away and most of them have said "its not easy saying goodbye and you will be home sick but it the best thing you'll ever do".
So here it goes guys, 7 more sleeps until, " The best thing I'll ever do". Life is about taking risks, stepping out of your comfort zone and capturing it all on your new GoPro and posting it on Facebook to make your friends jealous! (Jokes..well, kinda)
Have a great week lovelies :-)
Talk soon xx
