Well hello, long time no blog. Actually very long time, no blog.

So what have I been doing for the last 16 months?

Well mostly working and wedding planning and sleeping off stress at weekends!

My job is pretty full on and coupled with wedding planning, I had no time to do the things I used to enjoy.

But I'm back now and ready to give this blog my attention again!

So here is a little round up of what has happened since my last post in May 2016!

In September 2016, we lost our beautiful cat Smudge after a short illness. We are still not 100% sure what happened but we suspect it was a brain tumour. I couldn't bear the thought of him undergoing a post mortem so we'll never be 100% sure. After 13 years of purrs and cuddles, it broke my heart to lose him. I'm ready to get another cat now but we are waiting until we have bought our own place (we live on a busy main road just now so I would be too scared to let a cat out!)

Over the last 14 months, I've been on a fitness & diet campaign (known at the time as the wedding shred!) I've actually got really into my running and I'm planning to start running in proper organised events soon. I joined slimming world and lost a total of 3 stone from March 2016 to May 2017. My diet has been pretty poor since but I've managed to maintain my weight! I'll write a proper post about this soon!

 

Easter weekend was very busy! My hen do was on Easter Saturday. You might not be able to tell from this photo but I was so unwell all weekend. Long story for another post! On Easter Sunday, I finally got to see Ed Sheeran when he played the SSE Hydro in Glasgow. Best gig ever!

On 17th May, we headed to New York!

Oh, and on 20th May, we got married!

I'll do some posts on our wedding day and our time in New York and Mexico soon!

It's true what people say, it really is the best day of your life!

So that's pretty much all I've got to report from the last 14 months! Probably seems like I've not really been up to much ha ha!

But it's good to be back :)

Life Lately

Aloha! Time has passed by so quickly these last few months and I've been a terrible blogger, posting zero new posts! But I'm back, and I'd just like to say a huge thanks to everyone who has continued reading my posts, even although there have been no new ones! 

I thought I'd do a little catch up post to get back into the swing of things, so here's what I've been up to lately!

1 - I've been having hours of fun playing around with the new snapchat update. Sad I know. If you don't already follow me, you can add me on katiemccann92 for lots of selfies and food snaps.

2 - We had a pretty freakishly hot September here in Scotland. This meant lots of lunches outdoors which I love. My work is behind a church and I really enjoy sitting in the Church grounds with my lunch and a magazine. It's really peaceful and relaxing, especially when my work is so manic! 

3 - I decided to go back to brunette! I was getting bored of being blonde, and my hair grows so fast that the upkeep was becoming unmanageable. I was having to go to the hairdressers every 4 weeks, which is not good for my bank balance, not to mention my hair! 

4, 5 & 6 - I've been wedding planning like mad! We had our first venue viewing at the end of August, and hopefully another one this weekend. I've been practicing my macaroon baking, just in case I decide to bake my own macaroon tower cake (unlikely). And I've bought every wedding magazine out there in! I just can't help it!

So that has been about it since I last blogged!

Hopefully it won't be so long until next my post! 

Have a great week!

Life Lately

Aloha & Happy Easter! I am back after a long month break from blogging. It wasn't intentional, just life and uni got in the way, and I've had no time to write any posts! 

So, I thought it would be good to do a little post about what's been going on lately since there have been no Sunday posts or anything!

I went blonde! Well kind of. It's blonde highlights but there's so many of them that I look very blonde when my hair is down! I was really unsure to begin with but I actually love it now!

There was a solar eclipse. I was working on the day of the eclipse but I managed to sneak this photo whilst hanging out my office window haha!

My beautiful baby niece was born on the 29th March! I made up this little hamper for her arrival. It was so much fun to do and her parents loved it! Her name is Elsbeth for anyone wondering! 

My dissertation took over my life. And it also resulted in me getting a lovely cold! It is all done and submitted now so normality can resume. Well, until exams begin at the end of the month! Not long to go before I head out into the big bad world, no longer a student! :( 

So that is pretty much everything I have to report from March! Hopefully I won't have such a large blogging break again! I missed writing my posts!
