Another month has passed and March is underway. It has been a busy time with both work and my personal life being incredibly full with different events and ventures.
This month I have started a course as part of the International Compliance Association to get my Advanced Certificate in Anti Money Laundering. This is running in conjunction with my job which will also be a good addition to my skill set and qualifications. I will complete online classes and tutorials, as well as assignments and an exam, with the results being published in October. Having not studied since I graduated from university, it will be a challenge to go back into studying but it is a worthwhile investment. I look forward to seeing how it progresses!
My fiancĂ© and I are in the middle of all our wedding planning – menu tasting, favour making, pre-wedding shoot, guest list, ordering buttonholes, hair and make-up trial, sending marriage notice (to name a few!). As the months draw in seemingly quicker each week we look forward to the big day and celebrating with family and friends. Less than three months to go!
Other notable events include a trip down to visit my parents with my fiancĂ© and his parents. We spent just under a week in England showing them around my home town, and visiting relatives and exploring other cities. They seemed to really enjoy their trip and I’m grateful to have gained another set of parents! It was a lovely break from work and a chance to spend more time in nature too. As the weather is slowly getting better and the days are getting lighter, I look forward to more days off spent with family and friends.
This month is also packed with activities and plans so hopefully I can remember to check in before March passes by!
