HAPPY ANNIVERSARY- 39 YEARS.

As long as I'm here I might as well start posting.

I feel the need to announce that my parents anniversary was yesterday October 29th!

They have now been married for 39 YEARS!

Which means next year is a big one- Ruby! I'm so excited! 

My parents were married on October 29th 1972 in Lima, Peru, as far as I am aware it was a fairly low key event. My parents didn't have much money and so the guests were able to have one drink, I think there was a choice between wine or orange juice. The wedding had it's glitches, family members refused to come, the photographer was supposed to take colour photos and he ended up taking black and white photos, and the only colour photo he took he coloured my mum's eyes blue. (I'm not sure how it's possible but he managed to do it somehow). However they were married and that's all that matters, which goes to prove that the wedding is not the important thing, it's the marriage.

Maybe it is for this reason that mum loves Bridezillas, she finds it hilarious when a bride goes ape over the fact that her head-bridesmaid forgot to pack babywipes to clean the dress, "in my days we didn't even have babywipes".

So to my mum and dad, congratulations on sticking together for 39 years. That is almost double my age (21) and you guys have probably wanted to divorce me a couple of times, so 39 years is by no means a small accomplishment.

I love you- and get ready for next year!

Love A x

p.s- No pressure- but if any of you want to send belated anniversary cards to my parents they would LOVE THAT!!

Hello Beautiful People,

I’m starting a blog!

For those of you who know me I realise I have deactivated my Facebook which is basically the same as committing social suicide, but it is necessary trust me. I will one day re-activate my Facebook, but not anytime in the next few months. However I decided to start a blog, and fill it with photos and little things that inspire me, that you will hopefully like too.

Please spread the word about this blog. I will love you forever if you post my blog website in your Facebook status.

A little bit about me:

My name is Annabelle, I am twenty one years old and I have recently graduated from Portsmouth University with a (BA) in American Studies and History (no that does not mean I have only studied the history of the United States, and yes the United States does have a history even if it’s not been around as long as Rome). I am now in the process of my Masters degree at Surrey University in International Events Management, it’s kicking my butt! Apart from that I have the most amazing family in the world along with some of the greatest friends in humanity (eight special ones in-particular). I enjoy History, vintage shopping, intellectual people, inspiring quotes, travelling, buying people presents, developing negatives in a darkroom, cheerleading, brushing my teeth three times in a row and most of all YOU.

All my love,

A.      x
