From flip-flop frolics to flood warnings...I miss America.

So, my American vacation has been and gone and life has returned to normal. Getting caught in the rain with my flip flops on has happened most days since I got back, and I am still in denial about my broken Cath Kidston handbag umbrella...I just cannot bear to throw it away, so I have been quite wet this week. On my first week back I have visited a few coffee shops, (I missed these whilst being in Arizona) had a few cocktails (bellini's are fast becoming my favourite) and found out I got a 2:1 in my degree and am finally a fully qualified youth worker. So this has all been rather exciting. 


Not only this, but I have decided to try my hand at cakepop making, I ordered a nifty looking machine today to help me in this endeavour. I've also started my first scrapbook to record my holiday memories and have been trying out some all American recipes which I will share on this blog. I feel very inspired to get crafty whilst I wait to hear back from the various jobs I have applied for and am excited to take a bit of time to enjoy the small things in life. 


Here are some pictures of my recent trip:

The sunset of our final evening in Tucson

It was a great adventure and I loved getting to see parts of Utah, it is such a stunning state. We also spent time in Sedona which is an interesting place and of course, Tucson was as lovely as ever. It was the perfect way to celebrate 3 years of hard work, and now I have my results I feel happier than ever. 

Here's to the next chapter!
