2013……oh no, wait…..2014!!

So my first entry of 2014 will have to start three….nearly 4 months into this delightful new year that seems to have just sprung up from nowhere…similar to the popularity of duckface selfies, snapchat…or Miley Cyrus’s bum.

A LOT has happened since I last wrote. Well I hope it has, because it was bloody June when I sat my ass down to write on here!!!

I, Kelly Lianne Adams, aged 28 and ¾ am happy to say that since my last blog entry, I have only bloody gone and got engaged!

 Yup, you heard correctly. My boyfriend Fiancé Graham decided that he liked it enough to put a ring on it, and after 5 years, a cat, 3 apartments, a car, a move to Australia and a few (hundred) fancy dress parties, he got down on bended knee, whilst we were ice skating in Bryant Park, New York on 30^th December 2013 and asked me to marry him.

My temporary ring....what a beauty.

The first word to come out of my mouth…..?

“WHAT”??!?!?!

Of course a few seconds later when I realised he wasn’t taking the mick, there was a resounding YES that could be heard all the way to the Bronx.

It was amazing. The ring he presented from his coat pocket was a beautiful, exquisitely cut red plastic light up ring he had bought me as a joke for Valentine’s Day 2009

And you wonder why “what” what the first thing I said!

After the ring was placed on my finger and I had stopped shaking, Graham uttered the words that every girl who has just been proposed to in New York wants to hear……

“Obviously this is a temporary ring, we need to go and pick your real one up from Tiffany’s”



Eeeeek!

 
OH HOLY *^%*#{*(#)@#(&)!@&%)@%!_%*!!!!!!!

I am sorry ladies. He is off the market. Back away from quite possibly the best fiancé in the whole wide world.

The biggest (edible) house I have ever seen....
Tiff doesn't do things by halves, clearly!

So there you go. A trip to New York for New Year’s Eve whilst visiting home ended in an ice skating proposal, the BEST experience in Tiffany’s (think champagne, cookies, more champagne, the biggest ginger bread house you have ever seen, and hanging out in a private room where Judy Dench has quaffed a few champers herself!)

What could top that, you ask? Well, nothing really! But the whole reason I thought we were going to New York was New Year’s Eve, and spending the hours leading up to the stroke of midnight at a restaurant in Times Square was pretty fun….not so much for the hordes of people freezing their asses off outside since 10am, however….

Can you guess where I was?!

When it got close to midnight, we ventured outside where a twist of fate/one too many vodkas had me and Gra sneaking passed the police barriers following a group of people in the know, right up to where all the action was happening!! We were supposed to be stationed at 50^th street at our own little Applebee’s area, but said group of friends knew the coppers, so we managed to pretend we were friends with them (how? I still don’t know.) and snuck all the way to 45^th street for a perfect view of the ball dropping, a perfect space to soak up the atmosphere, and a perfect time to give my new fiancé a massive New Year’s Eve kiss.

I am one very lucky lady.

GEEKS.

BIGGER GEEKS!



HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

After what had been a very trying second half to 2013 that saw both my amazing Nanna and Grandad, and Graham’s lovely Grandma pass away, I am so happy that our Christmas that was spent at home in the UK with all our families ended on a happy note….and a gorgeous bit of bling nestled on my left hand!!

God help my readers/reader when the wedding talk starts….my blogs may have to beef up a bit! Haha.

Obviously there is more to be spoken about in 2013….but 2014 is here and so let’s have a chat about that, shall we??!!

Our engagement party is to be held in our adopted home town of Manly tomorrow evening…of course you are all invited.

Until then,

K xoxo
