Sixty-nine

Happy birthday, mom.

Can't take my eyes of you

I´m one of those girls that once in love with new shoes takes them everywhere and takes hundreds of pictures of it.
Can't help it,i guess!

First pictures of the year

After a very fun night spent at a friends house celebrating, we woke up and went for a walk all the way from Ribeira until the sea begins in Foz Velha, a considerable distance but we forgot all about being tired for the sky was so blue and there was a general feeling of hope embracing us.

 August: Nuno and Miga (the sweetest dog ever) embracing while waiting for the sun to go down.

 September: Having a snack in one of the many afternoons where i had the house all by myself.

 October: Could not resist recording this moment of João taking a nap.

 November: came home after a long day,put down my sneakers and bag and getting ready to wear my pajama.

Farewell 2012 - part I

January: I made a short trip to João's parents house in his hometown, a little village called Paião and finally met Clarinha one of the family's cat.

February: spending some quality time in gardens, trying to guess the name of flowers and trees.

 March: me and Simão taking pictures in the office (at that time a very,very messy room).

 April: practicing a favorite hobby - visiting houses for rent!

 May: Making the most of a heat wave during spring, enjoying outdoor fun with friends.

June: hydrangeas, blossoming during this time of the year, everywhere.

Documenting

...how many mugs i am able to stack, my cats tours around the house.
i can walk now but only for a few minutes and i cannot carry my camera outside because it´s so heavy but at home i still stalk every little bit of sun light i can.

I'm still here

When i made my last post in October i truly thought that soon i was returning to my job and life would fall in to some kind of winter 'routine' but i´m still here resting,at home after one night in November when my appendix decided to show it´s existence and i had an emergency surgery to remove it.

It was scary.
The pain, the long hours waiting in the E.R not knowing what was wrong with me and finally the confirmation that i was going to be operated.
The last face i saw before going inside was João, kissing my hand and telling everything was going to be ok.
It´s been a week since i returned home and i've being living the cliche of feeling really grateful and free after those three days in the hospital bed.
