My Bud X

2 days shy of my 2 year anniversary on the eve of moving back to England I went on a date with a guy I had met months before hand and been speaking to for the summer of 2010. My flight was booked, most of my stuff was packed and ready to leave, but I went on this date We went to the cinema to see Switch - It was a freezing cold and wet September afternoon and the cinema was just as cold as the outside, I waited nervously to see if he would try and put his arm around me or hold me hand......He did both & even offered me his coat. After the cinema we went to The Planet a local bowling alley with the usual games and children's play areas, We had a game of pool, was good every time he bent over I sneaked a peek at his bum :) We went on our separate ways after that. After arriving back where I was staying I had some dinner and a gossip with friend and watched some TV. My phone buzzed I had a text from him...What does it mean? He liked me...Really?? I was shocked (I am a negative person & had a low self esteem). He wanted to meet again the next day :D I rang my aunty in England and she told me to stay and see where it goes, otherwise I would spend the rest of my life wondering! I said I would see how the next day went before ringing home and breaking the news that I had decided to stay - A call I was not looking forward to as my mum had previously told me that me living in another country & my sister in a different part of England was the reason she was going slightly grey :( Not to mention how much we all miss each other and it does NOT get any easier!

The next day I met this tall handsome guy who held me hand as we walked along the Claddagh towards Salt Hill beach. It was very windy and I was very cold so after a while we walked back to town and went to a little cafe and ordered a pot of tea, we sat there then till closing just talking about our hopes and dreams, pasts and what we want from the future...you know how it goes :). Later that evening he rang me and asked if I would be his girlfriend :) I said yes, he was my McDreamy ... I had butterflies and couldn't stop smiling.

Now I had to make that phone call :/ It turned out I was worrying over nothing, as long as I was happy and was sure it was what I wanted then my parents were happy for me :) I do have the best parents ya know ;).

Fast forward to 18th December 2012 >>>>> ENGAGEMENT <3

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

There is no doubt in my mind I want to spend the rest of my life with this man! <3

A 'LittleLot' About Me

So I am Vicky, I was born in East London and raised in Essex with my little sister (19 months younger)
I finished school at 16 after completing my G.C.S.E's in 2004, That October i got my first full time job in the big bad city of London, I staid there until April 2007 when I travelled to Turkey for the summer season, working in various bars and restaurants and learning how the Turkish people live. It was amazing, it had more downs than ups due to it being a poorer country so things like toilet roll was a luxury.
 I returned home September 2007 and joined up with the West Essex NHS temp staff, I got in to the finance department helping with the end of year taxes in May 2008.

That September my sister was due to start University down in Bristol so to spend some quality time with her we headed to Ireland to see some family and shop, drink and have a good time. Whilst there an aunt asked me what my next move was - I wanted to go to college as most employers were now looking for certificates to get jobs. I didn't have one. She showed me an advert in their local paper for a community college offering night time courses to get the same level certificates as a full time student for half of the price. I love children & photography....They had both :) Special Needs was a whopping €110 for a 21 week course and Photography was €85 for a 11 week course....I had some decisions to make but forgot about it while I enjoyed the rest of our break. On our last evening our aunt offered me to move to Ireland and do these courses and start making something of myself, she had a spare room so I went home with my sissy with food for thought. I spoke with my parents and told them that I thought this would be a good move. So less then 1 week later I moved to Galway, Ireland on the 16th September 2008, The following day I enrolled for both courses and started the Special Needs course the night after that. The very same day I started working as Substitute Special Needs Assistant on a ring me at 8 in the morning - Are you available? How quick can you get in basis? LOL.
