HAPPY NEW YEARS... A Look Back On 2013!

Oh my goodness! I cannot believe that in less than four hours we are in the year 2014! This year has gone so incredibly fast and I cannot believe how fast it has gone. This year has been such a better year than last year. I am not saying that this year has been perfect. There have been many up's and downs in 2013 where I've had to lose someone extremely special to me, and go through some really hard times. But, I've also had some extremely good memories in 2013. Such as my trip to London, going to the Clothes Show Live, meeting Lauren (winner of BINTM), blogging more, creating a Youtube channel, and so many other memorable things that I'd never thought I would do before.

Life will always bring you up's and downs, I am a religious person and I am a true lover of God, and Jesus Christ. I  believe that without good and bad times in your life, your life would just be flat and non realistic. But, I know that when I do have a bad day or have to go through something extremely hard that God is just taking me into a better place and pushing me towards something uplifting and incredible. He is directing me and guiding me through life, an I feel so blessed that I have someone like that in my life who I can trust in and I am so blessed. 

Another really big part in my life apart from Christ, is my family. My family is just so supportive of me and just support and give me confidence about everything I do. If something goes bad such as in School, or if I messed up, they are never there doubting me, they are supportive of me and reassure me guiding me and telling me how to improve, or are caring and sympathetic towards me. I could not be more blessed than that and I am so thankful to have them in my life. 

This years been a pretty hectic, but amazing road, and I am so excited to see what next year has to give me. Hopefully they will be exciting and 2014 shall give me big opportunities. I am excited for 2014 as I shall be moving schools in the start of September to do my A-Levels, and I am so excited to meet new people and study, and learn new things. I am also excited for things to happen in my family, it is such a blessing. And, most of all, I am so excited (favourite word at the minute) for you guys. I am excited to keep on writing, blogging for you, and now I can even say I am thrilled to be filming for you and vlogging. 

Creating a YouTube is such a big step, and at first I was in two minds about doing it, but now, I am so excited and cannot wait to film new and exciting videos that you can watch!

Going through my Instagram I have found some of my favourite photos from the year, including some of my very special memories and just other photos that I am proud of.

These are quite a few of my favourite memories from 2013. I obviously cannot write every definition and reasoning for behind the photograph, but you can always check on my Instagram @aspoonfulofhope! 

If you have been following my blog for quite a while you would know that I lost someone very important to me this year, and it was my gorgeous cat Megan. I lost Megan almost 24 weeks ago now which seems so so unbelievable. Unfortunately Megan had gotten seriously ill, which lead to having her put to sleep. Megan was 21 years old, the vet said that this was such a good age, and that she lived a long, beautiful life, and in that she did. Megan was apart of my family before I was born and after my birth she was like a second mother. She would always sleep by my cot at night, and carried on with that until she passed away at 21. Before Megan got ill and sadly died, she started to sleep in my room next to my bed more frequently. I don't know why, or what this meant for her, but I think it was reliving a memory for her maybe, and she wanted to be close to me before she passed. 

I know that Megan is in a better place now in heaven with our Lord. So I know that she is in a safe and humble place. I love and miss you Megan, and a happy new year to you. x

I love this image, and it is completely 100% true. I am so excited to start a new school next September and meet new people and make new decisions and have different opportunities given to me. I am also excited like I said above with what is going to happen next year with my blog and YouTube. Hopefully something great!
