The Proposal

Every time I think about my engagement, I get so excited!

 Let's set the scene.

 Me, OJ, my parents and sister had taken a holiday to Benidorm for the Christmas and New Year period. I was 7 months pregnant and we thought we would take one last holiday before May-May made an appearance.

 On our second day there we took a walk to the beach front and sat down. We chilled on the beach, everyone with beers, me with orange juice (how fun) and had a laugh. This was OJ's first time abroad so we were in a very excitable mood. But that day he seemed a bit anxious, however I didn't take much notice. He had been doing some research and he wanted to go to the lovely courtyard that looked over the sea and was very eager to go there. Hmmm!

The view from the courtyard 😍


 After 2 hours at the beach, we walked along the beach front, taking in the sights and atmosphere. We made our way up the courtyard and my dad started to tell OJ about our previous holidays. I took a few pictures and then sat down. Pregnancy and all that walking had tired me out! All the others had gone down a few stairs to look further over the cliff whilst I stayed at the top.

 Little did I know they were planning how OJ was going to propose! 

 They all came back up and my dad, mum and sister said they were going to the bathroom as OJ wanted to talk to me. This seemed serious. They all left and OJ started say how much he loved me and how happy he was we were on holiday. I didn't think anything of it, just thought he was having a romantic moment. 

 Next thing I knew, he was down on one knee, with the ring box open and a beautiful ring shining at me. And he'd asked me to marry him! Well naturally I cried! And I was asking if he was being serious. I was admiring the ring so much I forgot to say yes 😂 Poor OJ was so nervous, so I put him out of his misery and the few people watching congratulated us. 
The beautiful ring. He has good taste! 😍
Where the proposal happened ❤️






We started to walk back to the beach front and my mum, dad and sister were stood there smiling and trying to act like they didn't know anything (I later found out they all knew since November!). I cried tears of joy again before heading to a local bar for non alcoholic cocktails. 

Throughout the rest of the holiday, I  was on cloud 9. One of the local acts out there found out we had got engaged and whenever we saw him perform, he would announce it in the venue he was performing in. We were like mini celebs! (ha I can dream)

That was 7 months ago and I wish I could experience that day again. It was a real surprise and such a wonderful moment. Now we have the fun - and stressful - task of planning our wedding.

I can't wait to become Mrs S!

Daddy and Daughters First Carnival

I heard that Mics cousin Sasha was planning to put together a band for Huddersfield Carnival called Majestic Mas a few months ago. So I asked if I could join as Mics and May May were going to perform already. I had never played at a carnival before and I have always wanted to perform.  So Sasha and her family started to create the costumes for us, working tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect. The theme for this was Black Panther Children of T’Challa. I was immediately sold with this as I’ve always been a massive fan of comic book superheroes and this felt natural for me.  So it came to the week of the carnival and I was feeling so nervous about playing in front of such big crowds. But I didnt want to let Sasha down as I fully support what she was doing. I tried my costume on and it felt amazing on me.  On Friday night before carnival me and my family went to a Glow street party, which is the night before the big day. I  absolutely loved the atmo...

The Proposal To My Fiancé

It all started from a epiphany I had while coming home from work, i just knew in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with mics. We had only been together for a year and a half and were expecting a baby as well. I was scared she was going to say no as it might have been too soon. So when i got back to mics mums house I told her about my plan to propose. I will never forget how her face changed into shock and excitement. She told me about when she was proposed to and it was around the same time as me and mics. That gave me the confidence to go ahead with buying a ring. When I bought the ring I felt like I wanted to burst with excitement but then I ha d to think how am I going to ask her. I thought of so many elaborate ways to do it. But I knew we were going on holiday to Benidorm for my first time and it felt right to do it there. I brought the ring and I showed it to mics parents and told them of how I wanted to propose and they were both really pleased with the...

5 Month Reflection Of Our Princess

This week our May May officially turned 5 months old and I couldn't be more happier with how her development is going so far. She is so alert these days and has started to notice her hands and feet more often. It has been a massive learning experience for me as this is my first time being a parent but it has all been worthwhile.  I have struggled with nighttime routines with her as this is when she gets more agitated from teething and growing pains. Its hard to see her in distress and i try to give her as much cuddles as possible which sometimes calms her down but over the course of time she has become more playful.  I love it when I enter a room and she gives me the biggest gummy smile. It totally fills my heart up when she does that and it immediately makes everything else minimal. May May has also learnt how to roll over onto her stomach which is a joy to see and how she has the ability to move her body in different positions while laying on her back.  I ...
