12 years later

55:365 This is my picture for today as part of my phoney 365 challenge, which I am still doing..surprise surprise! This is picture #55 of 365. Have just been slack with the updates..but you can see all the pics at flickr if you are so inclined or the latest few over—>

This piece of wood is all that remains of a bedside table/draws (which was the very first piece of furniture I ever bought for myself with my own money from working at MacDonald LOL.) It went in the large cull before everything went to storage, but I wanted to keep this piece.

Jake wrote this 12yrs ago today on the first night that we had moved out of home together. We had been living at his parents. But we only lasted not even a week before we moved back as we found out one of our house mates was a junkie.

When he wrote it, I complained that they were not my initials! He said don’t worry, they will be soon (should I have run then you think :P ?)

Soon…since when is 12yrs soon?!…12yrs later, here I am still bloody waiting!

But I won’t have to wait much longer. A few weeks ago we decided a bit out of the blue that we will just do it, before we move out of home a second time.

So, just over 2 weeks, a few days before we settle on the house ..we are getting married. We have a celebrant booked, rings picked out but that is about it. Still no idea where yet..but none of that is really important (but if you have any suggestions?)

We are going super small, shame we need bloody witnesses as I’d rather it be just us. After 13yrs together..it really isn’t about anyone else but us, or “sharing our speacial day”..I don’t do sharing!

    :) Congratulations … small is good. I tell anyone who asks “ELOPE!”. The fewer people involved, the better I think. Although, you know if I was in the same hemisphere as you, you’d have to invite me (or I’d just crash anyway).
