My name is Patricia, I'm 30 and I'm very much in love with my best friend.

I'm a French teacher for adults mostly, but occasionally for children. I love my job and I love meeting so many different people all year round and learn about them and their jobs and how this country works a bit. I'm French but live in Belgium, a very complicated country.

Living in another country made me realize how much family is important to me: I'm the third of 7 children and I'm so proud to have all of them as brothers and sisters.

My Mom is my hero, she kept her chin up through really hard times and through all of our teen crises. She raised us to be polite, kind and generous and I'm proud to say that she's raised us all well. I hope I'll be half a good mother as she is to us. At 30, I can say I'm an adult and ready for the next steps in my life. I can't wait to see our future enfolds and I can't wait to start my own family with him.

What I love doing the most is photography, home decoration and talk with my friends. All three of them fill my heart with joy and I always look forward to do either one of them. I also love writing on my blog, going through beautiful things on tumblr and read books for fun. I started a challenge to read 12 books this year, I'm almost there!

What are your favorite things to do on a sunny weekend?

I'm getting sick again.

Nobody likes it and neither do I: it feels so powerless and seems to always be coming by at the wrong time.

I'm not sure what is going on with me but with 6 little cold sores, I'm up for something bad. Normally it's the starting point. Then the sickness starts to hit me bad until I can't take it anymore and have to go to the doctor and stop working so I can slow down and rest.

I really hope it's not too bad cause I need to work. I love my job and since lately there's not so much of it, I'd take what I can get. Getting out of the house is really energizing and rewarding, even though I'm a real homebody.

I decided to get a hair-cut.

I wanted something new, something different and something I'd never done before. I wanted 2012 to start with some hair off.

I didn't go as planned, my hair is still long but some of it is not anymore!

I got bangs!

They can be very messy sometimes, especially when I'm sick...

But I bought a round brush and it got way easier to make my bangs look pretty.

that my family has respect.

and for all the people who teaches it to their children.

that I always have clothes to wear against the heat or the cold.

to be alive.

I finally went to the hairdresser to get my hair cut and you won't imagine how great it feels (well, you probably do ;). For once, the hairdresser really listened to what I had in mind and did something I wanted. At least he tried. He said my hair was very thick and very heavy. So he wouldn't guarantee the same result as on the picture, but it was pretty close. I'm happy and feel so light now. I loooooove it!

And today I did a color (it costed way too much there). I'm quite happy with the result but I still have to get used to it. I wanted to be a red-head for awhile now so.. voilà !

seulement la tête dans les nuages !

Et pourtant je ne prends pas le temps de le faire. Mon chéri me trouve très jolie avec du maquillage. J'aime bien quand il me dit ça...

Alors comme je change de vie (façon de parler) et bien j'ai décidé de me maquiller plus souvent. Mais pas tous les jours hein, enfin pas encore !

Vous savez quoi, ben j'ai eu des fleurs ! Mes premières fleurs ! Je suis super heureuse parce que mon chéri m'a fait la surprise... Du coup, j'ai suivi ton conseil Lalylue et j'entend remettre ça encore une fois un peu plus tard !

On en profite à fond pour cuisiner le plus possible : les fruits et les légumes sont tellement plus frais, plus vifs et plus juteux ici. En plus, au final, ça nous coûte moins cher de cuisiner sur place un repas sur deux.
