WOW.... it's been awhile...

I can't believe it's been so long since I was on here last... sometimes life just takes over and time runs

away on you completely.

I guess I start re-blogging with some sad news...

In the wee hours of February 15th {4.15am to be precise} my darling Nana very peacefully left this earth.  I honestly believe she died of a broken heart as she had pined for Grandad every day since he passed...

I miss both my grandparents like crazy... It's been 11mths since Grandad passed but it still feels like it was yesterday... and my Nana... well obviously, unlike with Grandad, we had NO warning what so ever that the last time we spent with her, was going to be the last time we ever saw her.

Me, hubby and the kids, actually took Nana to the Zoo not to long before she passed, so I got some awesome photo's of her with the kiddies... I smile often when I look at them... 

Anyway... signing off for now... if there is one thing I have learnt in the past year... it is, Keep making memories... treasure every moment you have with your loved ones xx

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 :)
