Snow Letter

Since Friday night we have had an almost constant snow fall. Woke up on Saturday morning to the sound of hail on the window and looked out onto a street blanketed with snow. It was beautiful. It is very early for snow but it is great, just hope we get a day off school for it. 

On the way home from work, I was imagining my future, about my boyfriend being my husband and us having kids. I was thinking how great it would be seeing our kids seeing snow for the first time, how excited they would be, wrapping them up warm in hats and gloves and their smiles and giggles. 

I also had the idea for this picture; 

It made me smile and I knew it would make my Chris smile. So I made him the message in the snow and sent it to him. It made him smile and that made me happy and it reminded me that it is the simple things are the most beautiful and in the end that mean the most. I think that is something we all need to remember.

Paperazzi

Yesterday, I met Gordon Brown MP.
It was pretty cool to be honest.
I'm not sure what exactly I was expecting. I have met Jim Tolson MSP many times but never anyone like an ex-Prime Minister. He was really nice though. He was getting his picture taken with us so he shook all our hands and asked us what we wanted to do when we left school. Getting our picture taken was cool. There was so many camera's we did't know where to look and all the flashing made it feel like we were being 'pap'd' like celebrities. We didn't manage to make out if he had a fake eye or which one it was but he had body guards which was cool too see. Hopefully we will get our picture in the papers in the next week just need to look out for it.

It Only Takes a Minute to Make a Decision

My friend wrote on facebook today; 

'it only takes a minute to make a decision that will change the rest of your life, but it will take a lifetime to determine if that decision was the right one'

I can't decide if I agree with this or not.
Simple decisions maybe, but often we don't see how they alter our lives. The big ones however, for me, take a long time to decide. I mull over them for ages and often put them off. In the end I still spent ages thinking about them no matter what decision I made. 
Maybe this is just me, because I am indecisive and over think things but it I believe that in most cases, it takes longer than a minute to make a decision that will change the rest of your life. 

Find the Positive in Today

I am trying to find the positive in today.
It is very difficult.
I am getting no free periods because of assembly and social ed. I don't think this afternoon is going to be much fun if I'm honest but I have no choice.
Hopefully some thing will come along and make the day a whole lot better.
Maybe swimming tonight might make up for it.

Films ARE Better the Second Time Around

Well, Harry Potter was better the second time,

However I did jump more, which is weird, considering I knew what was going to happen 

The person sitting behind me did not help though 

she wouldn't sit still 

I definately think it was better though, 

Films are Better the Second Time Around

I hold firm to the believe that films are better the second time around.
You are over the initial excitement and can take more in.

Tonight I am going to see Harry Potter 7 again.
I seen it yesterday and loved it.
Now I'm going to test out the theory that it will be better second time round.
Can't wait :D

Money

Money is the root of all problems, if you have it or not.
Those who don't have it, want it.
Those who have it are unhappy.

Me, I fall into the first category. There are so many things that money stops us from doing, simple things like sweets or a coffee to more necessary things like driving lessons and days out with the family. These are the reasons we get up early and go to bed late, so that we can work hard to earn the money for the things we desire. It's the reason I was up at 8 this morning to go to work to earn the money for my families Christmas presents and why I will spend my Saturday doing homework so in the future I can provide for my own family.

However, for me, there is more to life than money. Its about being greatful for what we have in life, no matter how much money we have. As long as we are surrounded by love, we have the greatest gift created.
