“The Eighth of The Eighth.”
August 9th, 2009
Well, where to even begin?
This time last year, I was just turning in to bed to prepare to get up in a mere 4 hours time to go and get Nathan from Heathrow. Now he is laying beside me in bed after giving me what is definitely the best day of my entire life.
Everything was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for more. I will always remember this most fantastic day with the fondest of memories. I cannot believe how blessed I have been, it makes me all emotional to think about!
Nathan wrote the most beautiful blog entry last night which filled my eyes with tears. When he writes I’m always reminded that little bit more as to why I fell in love with him. He really does create magic with words. He then wrote the most amazing birthday card for me which I woke up to this morning. Once again, my eyes brimmed with tears as I was just so grateful to be here today with him. This is the first birthday I have ever shared with him, he made everything as special as it possibly could’ve been.
He gave me a surprise necklace. I had been pestering him about it ever since he bought it a week ago, and eventually all my curiousity paid off. I received the most stunning of all stunning necklaces. It was a blue topaz on a gold chain. Once again, I got all soppy on him and kept strangling poor Nay with hugs.
After opening some more little birthday goodies including a well-needed iPod Touch (now I can finally listen to my tunes on the go again!) and some lovely, pretty clothes, we ate toast with nutella.
We then had a lovely lunch that my Mum had been planning for days with lots of vegetarian dishes especially for us too; which were delicious! We ate way too much, we all felt sick afterwards, but still had room for cake. Oh that cake was like a little bite of Heaven. We moved into the garden for that as the Sun was shining and it was a good 30 degrees for the first time in a week. I felt so lucky to have nice weather!
We then chilled after lunch, just lazed about and cuddled on the sofa. I had suggested we go to one of my favourite places, it’s a little tearoom which sells anything you want (within reason!) We all had a cup of tea and I went for chocolate ice cream as well as more birthday cake. It was lovely to have everyone together and all cheery. We then went for a walk and the afternoon light was incredibly magical. There was a cool yellow tone to everything, the World looked so beautiful this afternoon. I wish I could’ve stayed to watch everything.
Nathan and I took this in front of a bunch of heather plants. We really like heather as we once made one another lay down in it when we first met. It was pretty funny, so it holds some pretty odd but fun memories for us!
And then we crashed, we were totally pooped out! Nathan looks like this right now curled up next to me, listening to his iPod as he sleeps. He’s so cute, I want to stroke his face but I know I’ll wake him. It is 1am and I should be going to sleep too.
Thank you Nathan for such a fairytale day. You truly are my prince and I love you so much; eternally. <3 xx
And thank you everyone for all the wishes and for making today so special for me. Thank you so much. [:
Goodnight World, sleep tight and dream nice dreams.
