Bring out the trumpets, marching bands and choirs for Andrew and my engagement!

I’ve got to admit I was in on the plan the whole time but it was very special dressing up to go out for dinner to a lovely restaurant on Saturday night near Olinda in the Dandenongs and for Andrew to ask me the question! I can tell you there was very little delay between the question and the answer!

The Dandenongs was a perfect setting for our engagement weekend away - greenery everywhere and towering trees, coffee shops, stunning views of Melbourne from the lookout and mountain air, a B&B with a gorgeous garden and a log fire.

We’re so happy that all our family and friends are so excited too that we’ve decided to take this step to making a lifetime together, based on the love we share.

The picture says it all - pure happiness!!!

It has been a hectic month with lots of fun and a bit of pain to end it off.

Joined Andrew for his last weekend in Sydney and the end of his training programme for the new role. A highlight of the weekend was a visit to Luna Park on the Saturday night after a great Indian meal with Amit, Dave and Nick. I felt like a kid again - I think the last time I went there, I was in primary school.

It was so fun - we bought a ticket which gave us entry to Coney Island, a game of clowns and a ride on the ferris wheel. It was excellent swooping down the slides on a hessian bag and the view from the ferris wheel was spectacular. A huge vehicle carrier came in while we were up there.

A couple of weekends later we travelled to Noosa for Andrew’s Aunt’s 50th birthday party. It was glorious basking in 27 degrees and swimming in the ocean compared to a very chilly Melbourne at that time. Found it so relaxing there and it was great to spend some time with Andrew’s family who all came up for it.
