Back Where I Started

CATCH UP TIME!

I took a break to attend to personal matters. God has been great to me this year & I am beyond humbled. I hope you all had a summer as wonderful as mine!

The big news is...

The 

Girl

Is

Back

In 

Cardiff!

So...Law School plans have been suspended for a few years. Since I currently have no intentions to practise Law, I was advised to review my priorities and Law School had to fall back while I go on to accomplish other things. So, here I am. Back where I started.

I'm doing an LLM (Masters in Law) in International Commercial Law. I had enrolment today and I had that first-day-of-school-over-the-moon-nothing-can-go-wrong-good-better feeling....that is, until I started reading the material in my 'welcome pack'. It's going to be a tough year but yeah, 'I gat this!'

Wedding Bells!

It's been wedding fever all year long! It's either a wedding invitation or a wedding proposal. For those who are dear to my heart, I have worn myself out squealing with joy when they were either proposed to or got a 'yes'!

Urm....this is the point where I inform you that I'm not about to announce that I'm engaged or getting married... You can breathe now.

My cousin got married last week. One of those ones that I knew I just had to attend. No excuses.

Got into Nigeria the morning of the traditional wedding & caught the next available flight out of Abuja to PH. Long story short, I didn't have much time to get ready or take photos.

Back of my dress.

I did better with the church wedding. The wedding colours were pink, orange and yellow. After much ado, I decided on a coral pink and gold dress with a yellow hat to match.

Pre-Grad Dinner

A couple of cousins and I were out the night before my grad for a hearty meal and cocktails at T.G.I. Fridays...

ALL HAIL THE YOUNG LAWYER!

My graduation was on Friday & there's not much else I can say but 'Thank God!'

The 'legal' journey was not easy but he saw me through.

I had a lot of family and friends around to celebrate with me and to put it mildly, I was overwhelmed by all the love...and very grateful too!

Thanksgiving

It was Mid-year thanksgiving at my church today. I couldn't have picked a better Sunday to start off  this new phase of my life. I planned to take photos after the service. Bad bad bad idea. All that dancing & jumping left me looking...well, you get the idea... 

I still managed to take a few. Just because I love you so.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day!

P.S: Thanks for your lovely comments & private messages concerning my last post. I am humbled & I really appreciate that people care! Thanks for reading MJS. x

The girl is back! :)

I have missed this space greatly!

No need to waste time on the long story, so here's the short version.

In the past few weeks, I....

a) Finished uni.

b) Had a BLAST with my amazing friends in Cardiff.

c) Did A LOT of packing.

d) Moved back to Nigeria.

 I have been looking forward to moving back for ages but when I found myself with a few days to go, I wasn't such a happy bunny. I've left behind some people that I am going to miss terribly. Will look forward to seeing them every now and then in the future.

In other related news, I start Law School very soon. I'm on my way to becoming a Barrister. It won't be easy but by God's grace, I will get there.

Here are some photos from one of our days out before I left. 

It was during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend hence, the tank top.

Yup! The little kid in me lives on. *shrugs*

Blazer: H&M, Tank & Sandals: Newlook, Shorts: M&S.

Have a lovely weekend!
