n.e.w.s!

i have N.E.W.S!

(and no, i'm not pregnant!)

i am, however............... engaged! wow, that sentence sounds so strange to me / hopefully that buzz will last for a while! after nearly eight years together, creating two beautiful children, making our house a home, travel adventures together and with max, and loudly proclaiming that marriage wasn't for us... aaron proposed, and we.are.now.engaged!

it seems that while marriage wasn't something i'd pined for, i am rather well suited to spontaneous ring shopping! we chose a divine sparkly diamond ring yesterday, with max & cleo in tow. i'll collect the re-sized version of my ring @ the end of the week.

the proposal came from nowhere. after a weekend away - visiting lee & syl in busselton - with the kids, mum and dad, absence obviously made aaron's heart grow fonder :) actually, aaron tells me that he has planning this occasion for a while... just waiting for the right moment.

i am so happy & joyful, i might burst!

now, repeat after me: must not become a bridezilla. must not become a bridezilla...

....

i just overheard max say to cleo, who was calling out for her dummy: squeaky (his & aaron's nickname for her), i'm coming darling, my best friend...
