So, this is a little unrelated to the forum here, but I consider you guys all as my friends...
I am now engaged, to my wonderful boyfriend! He supported me all through the amazingly tough time I have had over the past few years with my scoliosis, and also the surgery. I knew he was in it for the long haul when he had to do some of the more unpleasant nursing tasks that were on offer once I got home (no, I'll never tell!). So I just wanted to share this exciting news with you all. To save relaying a long story, I have cut and pasted an email I sent to one of my friends on the site... sorry Roseanne you'll get a re-cap!
Yesterday he took me for a trip to Tawharanui, ( a beautiful national park which is beach and bush, and our favorite place in NZ) to our favorite spot on a little bridge that is covered by pohutukawa trees and peeks out to sea, and proposed. Of course he already knew what the answer would be :-) He asked me if I would do it without a ring (which of course I would have), but he had smuggled one in without me knowing. The funny thing was, I had kind of noticed that he was just slightly different to normal, and wondered if he was going to do it... and even on the way up in the car said "would you be nervous when you were going to ask me.." so he was like... "er, a little" giving nothing away! I wasn't trying to fish for info, but I was kind of thinking oh wouldn't it be nice, but then didn't want to set myself up for a let down!
He had champagne in the car on ice waiting, so we went to the road that you see on the way in and have a view out to Kauwau Island (where we have been on the boat lots of times) and over towards Tawharanui, and then into Kauwau Bay, and had some champagne there.
So, sorry if anyone didn't really want to know about this on a scoli site, but I am so thrilled to share it with my friends here.
