A year and a half ago I packed up my bags and left for another Australian adventure, but after months of missing rootbeer, mountains, the morrison bunch and poutine, im back in the land of snow and love! And I brought a special someone with me this time..Nathan! We are both loving it here, and Nathan especially. He has only seen snow a few times so everything is still a bit of a novelty to him. Even though there isnt much snow on the ground (or any at all for that matter!) we are still having fun playing out in the cold and getting rosy cheeks. I cant tell you how happy I am to be home with my family. It was such a long trip over here. We had a stop over in Beijing which literally felt like a month. I dont think I have ever been so bored (or cold!) in my life. Everything was worth it after I got to give my mum and dad a big long hug at the airport. How are all of you doing?! I have been missing doing blog posts..but I know that you all understand that I have just had the busiest two weeks. Things are starting to settle down now though so I will hopefully be posting more regularly! I hope that you are all having a wonderful December so far. Hugs from Canada!! x

ReplyDeleteHehe, I laughed at your rootbeer comment. When Claire visited here from Australia in September she kept saying how cheap the rootbeer is here compared to Australia's. Funny the little things we take for granted.
I love the lipstick you have on and your sweater! You are so gorgeous Kate! :]
ah i've been in love with that sweater for so long! you look so lovely in it and your lipstick's beautiful!

That sweater is seriously amazing! Why are you so cute? <33
ReplyDeleteReally love that top! Great blog!! Stop by mine and maybe we can follow each other?

yay! so glad you are back in canada safe and sound. <3 you are so pretty, love - your outfit is gorgeous and so is your lip colour!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to this side of the world! I'm sure Canada had a tiny internal celebration at the knowledge that you were back on her soil. It's probably due to the fact that your outfits make her ever so happy!
ReplyDeleteOkay, no more talking about Canada like it's a person.
LOVE this outfit, especially the boots! Even more, I love the feeling of homecoming that's a part of this post. I came back from 2.5 years in Africa around the same time and I remember how joyous it was to be with my family again, to smell and see familiar things, to hug people I loved. Welcome home!
Or maybe I should call them booties. Or just shoes? Yeah, they're probably just shoes. I got over-zealous in my shoe naming.
ReplyDeleteit's so exciting to read about someone else who has done something similar to me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's only been 4 months I can't wait to meet my parents at the airport after not seeing them for so long!!
I am so glad you found my blog so that I can read yours!!
It's great to find someone who has shared my experiences of living abroad :]]
