Engaged

This year is a leap year... and according to age old tradition, on the 29th February a girl can propose to her guy... so that is what I did this year...

I took a photo of our kids, and edited it till it looked like this:

then bluetoothed it from my computer to my phone and waited....

For hours....

Till he walked in the door after work, then I sent it to him... I heard him get the txt, I heard him open it... then nothing.... At. All... For. Hours...

I was so peeved, that I went out {ok - I was always going out, as a mate was in Auckland from Christchurch for work, for one night only}, had a great night, and headed home...

Still nothing...

By now, I was thinking I had seriously done the wrong thing... read all the signs wrong... clearly we weren't at the "marriage" stage of our relationship {which was a worry in itself, as we've been together for 5yrs}... ah well... I thought that seen as he hadn't said anything, we could probably both pretend it had never happened... so I went to bed...

He came to bed about 5 mins later, and as we were lying there cuddling before drifting off to sleep I said "did you like the photo I sent you earlier" and he said... Wait for it... it's a goodie...

“I couldn’t open it”

OMG - Men!! why can't they use a simple thing like a phone!! So he tried again, went into the message, scrolled down like I told him too, looked at it, said "that's cute" squinted, pulled the phone closer to his eyes, then said "of course I'll marry their mum"

So there you have it... the story of how we came to be engaged... it's a great one for the grandies thats for sure :)
