I thought it was about time for an update even if I'm not on here much any more

So the last time I posted my amazing other half had just surprised me with my early valentines present of a very large bunch of beautiful red roses [which lasted a very long time I might add!]
My surprise present for him was his engagement ring which I gave to him as a promise ring instead.

Now back to the present

I got back from a weeks holiday in Orkney yesterday and I must say it was an amazing holiday spent crawling round tombs and the like....
However there was one thing that really finished it off
We hired a cottage right next to the sea and on the Wednesday night Gareth said that we should go fora walk down the beach to take some photos
Bear in mind this is Orkney so it was freezing cold....
I managed to take one photo before I said my hands were cold
He told me to put them in 'my pocket' which holds a special meaning to use after we went camping and it was so cold at night I put my hands in that pocket to keep them warm
So there I am putting my hand in 'my pocket' and I feel something in it and stupidly I nearly said 'you've got something in your pocket baby'.... before I realised it was very box shaped.... and then out I pull a ring box..... and promptly burst into tears and cry and throw myself at him

So yeah..... He asked me to marry him and I said yes

As far as I'm concerned it couldn't have been more perfect as it held so much meaning and it was so personal and I still don't think it's fully sunk in

My ring is beautiful as well and I'm planning on doing some sort of cliché photo so you can all see

So I'm a very happy lady right now
