my mum x

Dear Mum,
There are so many things I want you to know. After years of you putting me first and constantly singing my praises, its my turn. 
You are the most beautiful women in the world and I don't just mean that in the sense of the way you look, although don't get me wrong you've aged well. But you have the most beautiful heart, you constantly put everyone before yourself and I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't have the love and support that you have given me. 
Ever since I moved out Ive appreciated the little things that mothers do for their children, for 19 years of your life you made sure I was fed, washed, cared for and had a roof over my head. And even now I know that whatever I need whenever I need it, you'll be there and for the rest of our days together you'll forever be here to support me. 
Your forever my biggest fan, cheering me on as I do everything I want to do and understanding that the things i want to do in my life mean ill never be a home bird. Im independent, I have to spread my wings and fly away and you are always there supporting what my heart desires. Thank you, a thousand times over thank you. I can't ever explain how much it means to me that you understand who I am and I know whatever I do with my life that will never change. 
When you gave birth to my sister 26 years ago and me 5 years later you sacrificed a huge part of your life to build and shape us into the women we are today, without you we wouldn't be where we are today, you've given us the best life two girls could ever ask for. 
A simple thank you will never be enough, you've given me the world and more and I only wish I could give you the same back. so even if I can never give you half of what you've given me I will work everyday to make you proud and accomplished that you raised me.
The next time someone says "you got it from your mama" do you know what my response will be? "hell yeah"
I love you x

Going Back To Camp..

It has officially hit the three month countdown for my second summer At Camp Grove Point and  I'm so ready to be back in my favourite place, sleeping outside and eating Doracos and amores all summer long. Camp feels like home to me and is an escape from reality and although I don't have much to escape from O don't think its ever a bad thing to give yourself time away from your normal routine. As much as I am loving uni its coming to the end of the year which means that myself and everyone around me needs a break and a refresh and what better way for me to do it then leave the country for three months? So its time for me to bring out the fancy dress, start remembering the camp songs once again and prepare myself for a whole summer of ice cream, pizza and running around camp having the best of fun. Three months time and ill be on the plane on the way to Maryland, it can't come quick enough!
