For Auld Lang Syne

2017 has given me much to celebrate; I moved to the UK to be with the love of my life, I got married, I celebrated my first Diwali, Karva Chauth, and Bon Fire Night, its been a year of firsts.

Its been a year of making memories and making plans for the future.

It hasn't all gone smoothly, but I have a year of amazing memories and even the struggles don't seem as bad now as I reflect on the ups and downs this year has brought. I packed up my entire flat with the help of one of my besties and my mum in 3 days ( the 3 most exciting and stressful days of my life).  A horrible holiday turned into a lovely one, I made new friends, saw old friends get married, visited a new country, and made plans for the future.  I've had bouts of homesickness, moments of anxiety, and times when I didn't understand the culture around me, but every moment has made me a stronger person.

I don't know what 2018 will bring, hopefully a job, a home of our own, and maybe an adventure or two. Thank you 2017 for all you have given me, and 2018 I look forward to what you have in store...
