Well, it was my birthday yesterday and I had an amazing day!!! I had to go to uni for most of the day, but I did go out for lunch with my friends which was nice.
After uni, me and Kieran drove to near Loughborough as we were collecting Ben his brother from uni.
On the way, we stopped off at a wood and climbed a hill and had a picnic which was very yummy! I was also finally allowed to open my other presents from my family as I had been waiting all day. By this point it was raining quite a bit and we ended up sitting on a bench sheltering under a big umbrella!
I was really cold and wanted to put my gloves on, but Kieran told me to wait for one more present….and that was when he asked me to marry him, in the pouring rain, on top of a hill and under an umbrella! He opened a box, and inside was a beautiful ring! By this stage I was completely surprised and didn’t quite know what to say, although i did say one word, yes!!!
The ring is lovely, and in his planning, Kieran used another one of my rings and measured it so its the right size too! He managed to plan the whole thing without me knowing as I just thought we were going for a birthday picnic before picking Ben up.
For the rest of the evening I forgot it was my birthday, what had happened was much more important, hehe!
I still can’t believe I am engaged and going to get married!!! It hasn’t properly sunk in yet I don’t think. It seemed just right to be proposed to in the rain too, after all, we did meet in a cow shed in the middle of a thunder storm!
So now I have my PGCE to finish, a job and house to find….and a wedding to plan!!
