A Taste Of Independence

Hey Nutterettes!!!

We really need to stop going quiet here on the blog!! So much has happened since I last posted back in February but if you follow us on Twitter then you probably know all about it! I can't believe that I've been driving for just over a year now... George and I have been together over a year... MandaNutter and Jamie have been together for over a year... and literally just yesterday, my mum and dad renewed their wedding vows with a Scottish Handfasting ceremony which was absolutely beautiful! Of course I had my Nutty big sister there with me, along with other friends, family and our boyfriends :) With it being such a small do, it was family that took the pictures on dad's camera so we already have them up and about - here are just a few.

Also, I got accepted onto the photography course so starting in August, I'm going to be back at college!! 

With the wedding renewal over, mum and dad have decided that they are going on a second honeymoon, they are going up to Orkney for a few days and then touring the Scottish Highlands. This, of course, leaves me alone in the house for two to three weeks, depending on how long they decide that they are going away for... So I am using this time to see if I would be able to handle living on my own again as I am getting older and don't want to be living with mum and dad forever, I love them to pieces but I do want my own place again. Hopefully the next few weeks will be a good way for me to see if I will be able to be more independent with living on my own with all my health conditions. Of course, Manda will be around a lot and keeping me company, as well as going out to see my other friends. 

I can't believe how much my life has changed in these last couple of years.... This time two years ago, I had just gotten out of my engagement where looking back now, it wouldn't have worked out. I was in such a low and dark place but now... now my life is so much better, I'm in an amazing relationship (my longest yet!) and my mental health is so much better too, I still have my days where I feel low but they aren't as common as they used to be. 

With it starting to get to the summer and the holidays coming, we both are hoping to get some more videos uploaded on our Youtube account though we did get one up during the week with myself, MandaNutter, MiniNutter and two friends (nicknamed for the video as MellyNutter and JadeyNutter) doing the Jelly Bean Challenge so if you haven't seen it yet, I would definitely go and give that a watch! We try not to do too much planning and stuff when it comes to filming videos, we feel that it's best to just go with the flow and be spontaneous. We know we aren't famous or popular online; we just do this for fun. It's a hobby that the both of us enjoy and shall probably continue to enjoy for a while. It also gives us more ways to be able to look back on memories; especially if we make videos from holidays that we've been on like I have done a few times. 

Anyway, I thought I would just pop on and give a catch up; will try and write more regularly. Who knows, I'll maybe write a followup blog post to this once mum and dad return home, let you know if I managed to live independently while they were away.

What has changed in your life over the last year or two?
