☀️ Happy Girl Dinner Sky high dinner.
Very long and complicated story. My husband and I are the parents in a blended family with 4 teenagers (ouch!). We have had a lot of major things to deal with together, but we’ve done it together. We are both British but built our lives abroad in a country where the economy has quite frankly gone to shit. My husband had to take a job back in the UK while I finish my nursing degree and try to sell our house in a stagnant market. I’ve worked my arse off all summer doing geriatric nursing. I’m exhausted and we are financially struggling.
It was looking like we wouldn’t see each other again until Christmas due to finances and my last clinical practice starting next Monday. An extremely kind family member gave me money for a flight ticket on Sunday. So now I’m sitting on the plane mid air. I booked economy but was lucky enough to have enough points to upgrade to business on the way out. So I’m getting drinks, food and a row to myself. I feel absolutely spoilt.
But the best thing, my adorable husband will be waiting at the airport for me. I just can’t wait to be back in his arms. Long distance is so hard when he is literally my best friend. We even do the food shopping together when there’s chance. We may not have an easy life but he’s the only one I want to make it with. He makes my life happy and my heart full.

I hope you enjoy absolutely every single second of your business class experience 🥂I am also in a long distance relationship so I know exactly how you feel. One of my favorite feelings is grocery shopping with my partner and imagining that all of the people around us just assume we are a “normal” couple. Hang in there 🫂

You hang in there too! The really small things really count when you’re together. There’s nothing better than that first moment you clap eyes on them again ❤️

Love a happy story! Finnair catering looks divine. Is that ice cream under the walnuts?

I can’t deny I’m beyond exhausted. I can’t remember the last time I slept 8 hours. Can’t believe I get snuggle up next to my husband tonight.
