Getting Serious... Serious

I got engaged!

Did you have a fright? I've been telling everyone the story like that. I say, "I got engaged." I keep my face straight as they boggle their eyes at me, and start to giggle as their eyes travel to my wedding finger looking for a ring. I then reveal how my engagement ring was really only a Hula Hoop crisp, and the proposal itself wasn't actually real.









I do admit that I did immediately well up as soon as he got down on one knee in front of me. Even though it had been my idea for him to do it, even though I thought it was hilarious and it was going to look great in the pictures - I still filled up with tears as soon as he was there doing the proposing. I would say that's a bit scary but, hell, I'm an emotional person and a big romantic so it's not that much of a shocker. I kept the ring, anyway. My first engagement ring. Hehehe.

We had a really nice last day together. We spent the entire afternoon having a picnic down by the pond, where we watched the ducks taking their babies round for a swim. We then had a take away Dominios pizza - yum. When it was time to come home we all got very upset. But it was nice coming home in a way because Mammy and Daddy were singing drunkenly in the back garden. Mammy requested a hug off me (she never does that) and confided how she'd missed me and Jem; and then Daddy wanted a hug, too, and he proceeded to squeeze me so hard I thought he'd popped a rib! So home isn't too bad at all.

But I still really miss having my own place. Having Ray there when I go to sleep, hearing him go to work in the morning, having food ready for him when he gets home, spending the evening doing whatever we want, walking the dogs everywhere, sitting out the back in the sun, writing quietly in my room... I miss it all.

We've started looking for places to rent. I think we'll be moving out for real soon. We just need to find a nice place for the dogs for the right price. But I think this is it: I'm about to make the big step and move in with Ray (and my bimbo, of course). And that doesn't feel scary at all.
