HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! (a little early but, hey).
It is that time of the year again where people take time out of their busy schedules to come and spend time with me and bring me stuff (everyone forgot) and have fun!
This year I celebrated a few days early (5th Nov) with very valid reasons... The estate where I live decided to spend 15000 pounds on fireworks and I couldn't let an opportunity to shine like that pass.
righto and now back to reality... like the only time he shines is when his face is glowing! Sis!!!!!
Time spent with good friends (smashing alcohol) can not be compared to anything. and surrounded by the people that care about him the most and have shared years of laughs (we will focus on all the positive) with him it was truly one evening i am sure will be remembered for a long time.
I am convinced though that the morning after left andre playing Mavis ... or better yet head house keeper, as the evening left him playing hotel hotel, with a grand total of 12 in a two bedroom flat. thank heavens i went home, dont take well to the floor.
Getting to the serious stuff though, it is a total honour to have been at 6 of Andre's birthdays. kissed him on a few!!!! (surprise!) but i love him so much and i am sure you all do to, and i hope that i get to spend another 60 birthdays with him, that every year we get stranger, closer and above all that we gain the maturity the experiance and the essence of the entire journey of life.
Friends are the family you choose for yourself.
By the way I wrote this and did the titles under the photo's (Andre said i should mention that!)

Well, I have to admit that the last three months have not been great when it comes to farewells... WAY TOO MANY! I've had to say goodbye to a lot of my London family.
As you can all see... I have been blessed to work with such an awesome bunch of people/friends for the past 2years so saying goodbye to many of them is not fun.
I have learned a very valuable lesson through all of this.... Life does go on! I am happy to say that all these people have played a major part in my success in London and they will always be a part of my world.
