Hi there! Well I've been home for 2 weeks now and we're just about to head to Spain for a week of mountain biking before I return to the office at Nationwide. I came home a bit earlier than anticipated for a number of reasons... mainly because I was completely exhausted. Therefore I wanted a bit of rest and thought that being at home would allow that. Instead I've been run ragged by the various things that we've been up to since my return. All of these are exciting so it's only fair that I fill you in...
Firstly, when Jennifer visited me in Canada in February and we went down to Vancouver for the night, I actually proposed and am delighted to say that she accepted. It was then lovely to spend the next few days engaged together before she had to return home. Missing her and being excited about being engaged was certainly another incentive to come home. We've both been brimming with excitement the whole time that I've been back and now that I'm at home and have been able to tell lots of buddies, it's finally ok for me to mention it here!
As a result of getting engaged, Jennifer has already found us a wedding venue and we went to see it the first Saturday that I was back and booked it. Therefore we're getting married on 19th July 2008.
The second bit of great news is that we've just reserved ourselves a sexy new house just South of Swindon. This has the advantages of being bigger, in a nicer area, nearer work (for me) and most importantly, nearer to the Ridgeway for mountain biking. We've been sorting out all the paperwork yesterday and today and it looks like it should all go through just fine. Click on the picture below to see more...
The new home is nearing completion so fingers crossed we should get to move in in the next couple of months or so.
Right... got to go and check the bikes now and then we're off on hols for a much needed break from all this "resting" ;-)
