My first ever blog!

1.

Hi there you lovely people *waves* so how do I start one of these things? hmm maybe a little introduction? Yeah, sounds good to me :) 

Name - Beth
Age - 23 (soon 24 eek)
Relationship status - Married <3
Location - A large East Yorkshire village that has lots of hairdressers and cafes, standard! 

The first thing you will notice about me is I am ridiculously tall, 6ft 1 tall! I love being tall but it means I have huge feet *sadface* so my desire to wear high heels will never be fulfilled - I once wore a 1 inch heel and a drunk man shouted at me in the street *extrasadface* BUT it's okay because I've developed an undying love for Nike trainers so I shall forever be happy with my huge feet :) 

I have a crazy obsession with giraffes, I just love the tall buggers :D I have a building collection of teddies, ornaments, key chains I even have a cushion and sadly I name them all (I told you it was a crazy obsession) If I don't achieve much in life I will definitely be remembered as the crazy giraffe lady. 

My husband Rob is my best friend! I love that guy unconditionally till the end of time. The day after my birthday will be our 6 year anniversary, and I hope we will have many many more years of happiness together. He doesn't like my love for giraffes though...fool! :D

Currently in my life myself and my family are going through a very difficult period. Last year my dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a disease that attacks the central nervous system causing muscles to weaken and basically waste away leaving that person to struggle with day to day live and eventually unable to care for themselves. It has to be one of the worst things I have seen someone go through and I don't believe anyone could understand what it is like. As family members we struggle emotionally to see the person we love struggle, I could never imagine how my dad feels being the one with it. 
It breaks my heart talking to people online who have also been through this/have gone through it, they are all strangers but we are all connected, we can all feel the other persons feelings when they are finding it hard. I can't thank the number of people who have replied to my messages with encouraging words and pure kindness. Thank you <3 

I need your help to get me out there experiencing amazing things!!! I want to get a bucketlist together and try my darnedest to do them. I'm letting anxiety and fear control my life and I need to fight back and throw two fingers up to it, but lets start small okay? No running before I walk :D 

In my future blogs, I will try and do weekly uploads just to update you on things I have done, things I'm planning on doing etc etc. 
I will update you on my Dad and how I'm feeling with it all. 

 Much love
Beth x

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

End of an era

 10 years...10 long but very fast years!! Okay, I admit, I'm late to the 10 year blog anniversary, like 7 months late haha but I've been busy. I can't quite believe I started writing on here over 10 years ago. About my Dad, who has now been gone 10 years as of only a few days ago! Which is mental. This pocket of space helped me a lot back then, and it continued to help a little while after but it's definitely time for me to say goodbye to this space now. It served me well back then, but like we all do, I've grown and found other things now that suit me better. You see, I couldn't express in real life how I felt back then, what I was dealing with watching my Dad with MND. So this was my voice. Then I realised oh wow I can say a lot of things here that I can't express due to fear or embarrassment and general learning things about myself etc. Who knew writing a few words on a few posts could help heal so many broken pieces. I'll always be pretty grateful fo...
