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 had 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 idea and the ring.
I struggled to keep it to myself for all that time. The night before her parents flew out I gave the ring to mum to take with her as we were flying out a couple of days after them. By then i knew exactly where I wanted to do it as I remembered seeing a courtyard overlooking the sea in their holiday videos.

The plan was set.

Finally the day came and me, mics and the family decided to go for a walk along the beach front to take in some sights and I told mum to make sure to bring the ring as I felt ready to do this. So as we made our way along the beach front we came to the courtyard that i wanted to propose from.

I was on the lower part of the courtyard when i saw mum on the stairs. She asked do i want to do it now and i said yes as mics was seated on the upper courtyard. I told mum to leave with dad and mics sister and we will catch up after them. I stayed on the stairs to calm my nerves when dad came down and I told him the plan as well. When i came up on the courtyard mics was sitting unaware of what was about to happen next. I sat next to her and my heart rate just accelerated. I said to mics how beautiful the setting was and how much i loved her.
Mics still didnt have any idea where i was going with this and before she could I pulled out the ring and got on one knee and asked her to marry me.

Mics immediately started crying and it took a few seconds for her to accept. There were people nearby who witnessed this and were saying congratulations to us.

I feel so accomplished doing that and when we came down to meet the family they were all standing there awaiting the good news. There were tears and happiness in that moment and if i had the chance to do it again I would do without question.

Roll on our wedding date June 2020

Guest Post: Pregnancy Journey by Life Coach Sam

This weeks pregnancy journey is by Samantha Abraham . Her journey had me laughing and i'm sure you will do the same! I gave birth to my beautiful baby number 5 at the beginning of January this year. I have 2 boys aged 21 and 8 years as well as 2 girls aged 7&5. Baby No.5 came as a huge but pleasant surprise after having decided not to have any more and quitting my job to create a start-up. Having passed the stages of denial I finally take a pregnancy test... Reality sets in and my husband and I are now passed staring at each other in silence which goes on to last a couple of months.   This eventually moves into us having conversations about our worries and what we need to do to plan for this.... unplanned, untimely pleasant little gift with the power of scaring us half to death!!! ... At some point among the madness, we do the maths and work out as tradition would have it....our little gift really was a gift!!!...as in that we worked out th...

Studies Come To A Halt

So I have decided to give up my plan to go to university. Before you all scream not to quit, let me explain. Quick re-cap. I had planned to go to university next year to study Events Management, gain experience and open my own business. I started an Access course in November last year and was doing so well. Yes it was difficult but I wasn't expecting it to be plain sailing. I took 3 months study break when I had May-May and then started back. And the stress began. My mind went blank with every assignment, I struggled to understand information and I would stress myself out so much. This continued for 2 months and I thought how on earth will I carry on? I sat down with OJ and he said to me “Mics, why are you still going to university?” I told him I needed to go to open my business and gain more experience. “No you don't. Your business is up and running, you are gaining experience by booking small events. You're only doing this access course to get you into uni, ...

Guest Post: Pregnancy Journey by My Mummy is a Bookworm

The next few blog posts are going to be based on pregnancy and the obstacles we have to face not only during pregnancy, but conceiving and even after giving birth. My guest for this post is Danielle from My Mummy is a Bookworm  She has decided to share with me her journey to becoming a mother. "We got married. I came off the pill. I thought it would be that simple. Boy was I deluded. It started with absent periods, months went by and I had nothing, I did pregnancy tests and they always came back negative. I went to see my GP for advice, and they sent me for some blood tests. The result came back and I found out that I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and that this may impact on my ability to conceive. I was shattered, the reality of having a baby suddenly felt so far away and I felt that it was completely my fault. I couldn’t give myself or my partner what we so desperately wanted - a family. I was referred to a specialist at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester ...
