How does HE love me? Let me count the ways..

What's a blog without a good boast! I had a SUPER day. I HAVE to rave about it..so please be patient and do not spite me for it.

Today is officially our 9th Anniversary. We have dinner lined up and as usual we dragged our bums out of bed to start the day. Alex left for work but had a "sad" look in his eyes. I thought he must feel bad for leaving me on this special day, so I waited for him near our "drop off" point (that's where I drop his stuff if he walks out without it via a window by our bamboos). I waited and waited and got a little bit worried. He did not show at all and I could not drop him his surprise chocolate bar.

I rang him and he told me he was trying out a new route to work. He's at 'the junction". Hmmm, very odd but that's okay....good to know that he's trying new things!

I later did the normal post-breakfast cleanup with the girls watching their "Wonderpets". I noticed the mac and decided to check my emails. Lo and behold, waiting for me is a "video" of Alex and the girls proposing to me (again!), asking me to marry him 1 year from today. See blog on the right column ....he's been real busy.

He later rang and I asked him where he was, now after reading the blog and knowing his "plans". Alex came home with a HUGE bunch of roses (now, 3 hours later and wilting), and went down on his knees, asking me to marry him. In front of my love struck little girls, who quickly told me that they are going to be our flower-girls....

What a lovely man. I am sure after 9 years, he's built enough courage to think of these weird and wonderful things. I will of course NOT reject him as we are already married! Not sure how we can pull this extravaganza off but...we have 1 year to make it happen. He took the morning off to spend time with us, helped me with groceries and library and he's off to work. Sigh!

9 years ago, we would have just started our bilingual ceremony on the Brisbane Kookaburra Queen. We were officially married by 3pm.

To be continued...
