Mj and i went out for our house build celebration dinner/hot date last night. When we arrived we were shown to a little tabe in the bar area with 2 champagne flutes and a huge bunch of balloons. I realised the balloons were from my sister and family as thats what my sister does for a job. Written on them were congratulations for the 1st day of the build. A waiter came over with a bottle of pink champagne and told us that the Nolan family had paid for it. My sister is so sweet and we have always made a fuss over special occasions and its one of the things i have missed until now! I turned to Mj and said how nice it was of them and how when i saw the balloons for a split second i thought he was going to get down on one knee............. and he did! I burst into tears and said yes of course! He gave me a beautiful white gold ring with a princess cut (square) diamond and a lovey bouquet of pink roses and calla lillies. At the end of a lovely meal we ordered desert and out came a plate with candles on and written on the plate was "congratulations on your engagement" and 2 bowls of icecream. Then the waiter behind gave us another even larger balloon with the same inscription. After a huge round of applause from everyone in the restraunt we ate the icecream and paid the bill. Chris picked us up and we went to their house so i could show Rachael my new ring! We had a few drinks and then Chris took us home. Amazing night. I must still be excited as i was awake at 6:10am haha!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I know you knew it was coming, but it is still exciting isn't it? I can't wait to see you (and the ring). By the way, I sent my tiara and veil over with Richard last week so the next time you see your mum and dad ask them for it.
Big hugs and love,
Barrileigh (and Richard)
