So it would appear that I am getting married

Nathan and I have always done things backwards.

We got together and moved in almost instantly.

We had a baby, bought a house and then had another baby.

We’ve been together for over six years now and we knew we’d get married one day. Eventually.

Today, Nathan proposed to me, in the middle of our chaotic household.

Of course, I said yes.

So now, we’re getting married.

This is going to be fun.

    nawwwwwwwwww… don’t forget the dog. You got a dog too.

    Apparently the way to do it is get married, buy a house, get a dog and then babies.

    Oh, and for the record, I require more detail than “Nathan proposed to me, in the middle of our chaotic household.” Adjectives. Adverbs. Parallel structure. Etc, etc. I don’t demand blogposts very often, but I am dying to know how it went down. Get to it, girl! πŸ˜€

      Veronica in her computer chair (swiveled at me of course) next to the window, me on one knee facing marriage proposal recipient, two running screaming wet and naked children (just jumped out of the bath), two puppies chasing them trying to bite their ankles (playfully), and it was about……six pm (aest).

    Congratul-freakin-lations! That is the most awesome news ever! What’s the fun in doing things in order!? My Husband and I will probably have been legally married (courthouse just the 2 of us) at least 5 years before we manage to have a family and friends ceremony. And I’m hoping to make some munchkins before then too. YAY!! I’m so happy for you!!
