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
