I’m laying this out there from the start. This is going to be a bit of a self-indulgent blog post, OK? I guess you could argue that they’re all pretty self-indulgent but this one particularly so. I just wanted to get that out in the open so you can choose to skip right over it if you’re that way inclined.
So, the past five weeks or so have been pretty much a whirlwind and only now am I really starting to come down and, to be honest, I’m landing with quite a big bump. I’m at the end of my second week back in work after having three glorious weeks off. Now, I don’t think I’m over-selling it when I say they were probably the best three weeks of my life. The first week I spent at home, leaving Tom in London, getting spoilt by my mum and dad and catching up properly with my gorgeous, Hannah. Oh, and preparing for my best day ever!
I’ll probably write about my wedding here in more detail another time (if you actually want to hear about it, of course) but it really was the best day I’ve ever had. I loved everything about it and wish I could re-do it over and over again. I’m starting to feel a bit sad that we never got a video of it because I’m convinced I’d be watching it on a daily basis if I did. I am super excited to get my hands on our photos though.
After a brief stop back in London we jetted off to Mexico for 10 nights. It was dreamy. We lounged around in the sun, relaxed and took stock of the past two years pretty much. We also slept, a lot. I mean A LOT. It was ace. So I’m sure you can imagine touching down in Gatwick on Sunday lunchtime and back in work on Monday morning was difficult. I don’t think I’ve ever had jet lag before but I swear it took me about a week to feel human again. Totally worth it though, let me tell you.
These past two weeks in work have been a bit on the hectic side and I’ve not been entirely sure if I’m coming or going. I’m finally starting to realise that the thing that I’ve been planning for the past two years is actually over and I’m feeling pretty deflated to be honest. It’s been my favourite distraction since back in June 2012 and now I feel a bit lost. I need to point out this is nothing against Tom. I’m so happy that we’re married but the planning process was so fun, so all-consuming and so exciting that real life just doesn’t compare. No one really tells you about this bit and I wish I’d been a bit more prepared for it. I feel like I need a new project or something. At least Christmas is just around the corner and I can concentrate on that for a while.
Bump!
Kisses,
