Life, Love and the Everyday

LIFE It is Sunday night and I am mentally preparing for Monday morning. I have my feet soaking in a foot-spa with water and Listerine and I am about to share some important news! Two weeks ago today, A. proposed and my reply was 'Yes, a thousand times yes!' I wish I could say that response is original but that would be lying, I am a big Pride & Prejudice fan.
