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.

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!

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!

Olympic Torch Relay

The Olympic flame passed through Cardiff today and shall party with us tonight before it leaves tomorrow.

I was only too glad to ditch the books for some sun and banter with friends.

The streets were packed as expected. Thankfully, it wasn't so bad right outside my house so I didn't have to travel far to get a good view. I guess most people preferred to wait at the final destination.

Knowing Cardiff people, tonight the town will be party central!

Some of us will be right here at our desks, memorising case law and what-not.

Have a lovely Friday night people!

xoxo

MJ!
