Amazing!!!

So a lot has happened since my birthday and I mean A LOT.

Where to begin? It was the beginning of another working week but this time I was looking forward to Friday even more than usual. On Friday the 2^nd of September 2011, it was going to be mine and Dave’s 5^th anniversary together and I couldn’t wait. I couldn’t help myself but ride Dave all week about what we were going to do to mark this occasion, and like a true romantic Dave said “Nothing, its no big deal”. After hearing him say that over and over again I asked myself “Are you kidding me?” Everybody who knows me, knows that I like to mark special occasions in some way or another and ‘doing nothing’ was not going to cut it with me.

After days of wearing him down, he finally said “Fine, fine we can get a take-away or something” and after all my hard work I decided to throw in the towel and yes “Yeah that’s cool with me” And it was, after all maybe he was right “its no big deal”…

The morning of our anniversary had arrived and as my alarm went off all I could think was “One more get up, till I can have a lie-in”. As I turned over Dave was already sat up in bed. I couldn’t believe it, as I’m always first up every morning. “What are you doing up?” “I wanted to give you your card”…. “SHIT” A week of my bitching about him doing something for us and I forget to get a card. I can safely say “I’m a bitch”.

 “Orr thanks baby, but I thought we were not doing cards” “Well I wanted to get you one” Dave said.  I remember pulling myself up in bed and Dave telling me to put the lamp on, so I did and then I opened my card…

I would tell you want was written inside word for word but Dave would kill me. So here’s just a little bit:  “I had a word with your boss about 3 weeks ago and asked him if you could have today off and he said yes. So that means no school for you today baby. Also you need to pack an overnight bag as I’m taking you away for the night, back to the hotel where we spent or first valentines day together”.

OMG… I couldn’t believe it. A week of me bitching and moaning non-stop and the whole time he had all this planned, AMAZING.

Before I knew it we were in the car on the way to the lakes for our anniversary. The weather wasn’t great but I was so happy I didn’t care that it was raining a little bit. As we got closer to the hotel Dave told me that check-in wasn’t till 2pm, and it was only about 12.45pm and I was like “So what are we gonna do till then” Dave answered “I have something planned”. I had no idea what, but I couldn’t wait to find out.

Back in 2007 on our first valentines together we spent one night in an amazing hotel in the Lakes and the next morning, (the morning of us going home) we decided to go for a walk up this big, and I mean big, hill. As we got to the top, there stood the ruins of a castle! It was breathtaking and I loved it. So back to now and that’s where Dave was taking me. I had no idea of this until we drove around the corner and the castle was in my sight.

“Orr baby, the castle” I couldn’t believe that he remember how much I loved it and how much it meat to me the first time round.

We pulled our warm asses out of the warm car, and got ready to pull ourselves up the big (and I mean big!) hill to the castle. As I had no idea where we were going I deffo didn’t pack the right shoes or clothes for hiking in the rain lol..

As we got to the top I remembered how amazing it was and I felt so happy to be back here with Dave again. As it was a Friday and raining there was no-one around so we had the castle to ourselves. Well us and a dog walker way over the other side. I couldn’t wait to get up into the tower to take some photos of the views. I got my camera out and got a bit snap-happy. Poor Dave – I made him recreate an old photo that I had from the first time we came, and bless him he did it for me.

I was loving taking lots of photos and as I was taking one when everything around me suddenly went very dead. It was like someone just pressed the mute button. I began to turn around to see where Dave had gone and as I turned around there Dave was down on one knee with a stunning ring in his hand asking me to marry him. Needless to say I was shocked! My hand went straight to my face and the waterworks began and of course I said YES..

He’s always called me his princess and popping the question in a princess tower in a castle, definitely made me feel like a princess that day. The rest of the day and night was great and not that I didn’t already know it, but what an amazing man my Dave really is.

Birthday girl

Well it was my birthday yesterday and i was the big 27. I no what your thinking, i don't look 27 lol and the cleaner at work today said she thought i was "19 or 20" lol i could of kissed her..
The day started great by opening all my presents in bed with Dave, he got me sooo much stuff but the big present was a cute pink new phone. I'm in love... Then i needed to head to work, Everybody said happy birthday but no presents, well i have only been there aweek lol.. I headed home and it was raining so badly so natty met me off the train and give me a left home which was great cos i didn't get wet yay.. Then when i got home dave come home from work and Sara, Arron and Evie popped around to drop off my present then we got glammed up and Dave took me out for a birthday meal. It was lovely, we both eaten way to much, so when we got home we was so sleepy, Bed time before 10.30pm All in all good day!!!!

The story of Brian...

When i was 21 all i wanted was a dog, but when i was 21 i still lived at home with my mum, dad and sister, so a dog was never gonna happen. In there defence a dog would of been alot of hard work. Needless to say my parents didn't go for the idea of me getting a dog, so after weeks of acting like a brat i decided to go for something else A cat!!!! I wanted one as soon as i decided so i told me animal loving sister-in-law Carol to keep her eye out for kittens.
It was on a Saturday morning when i got the call, it was Carol "there are some kittens in the pet shop down the road, what do you think?, do you want me to get you one?". With out thinking "YES!!!"... The next minute my brother David and Carol walked though the door with alittle box in there hand. I couldn't wait to get the box open. I sat down on the floor with the box with my mum going mad on one side of me and my sister saying over and over again "i don't like cats, i don't like cats!" on the other side. I opened the box and out popped the cutes little head i have ever seen, there was this little black and white ball of fluff and needless to say it was love at first sight...

Now don't get me wrong over the past 5 almost 6 years Brian has put me and my family though more than you could ever imagine but thought it all my love has never changed. So i don't care what anyone says, that cat is my little baby and yes i no, "its only an animal" but hes my animal and i love him...

The girls!!!
