Langkawi Island, Malaysia - 22nd July

Excuse me, I am 36 and engaged!

Happy Birthday to me. I turned 36 on the island of Langkawi, to the west of Kuala Lumpur. Adam had insisted we were somewhere special for my Birthday. I didn't argue of course. Adam presented me with a box of belgian chocolates and my birthday cards in bed. After reading my cards and eating far too many chocs, we had a busy day lazing around the pool and walking on the beach. I treated myself to a gorgeous massage and returned to find champagne on ice and a big birthday cake. Lovely. Adam kept insisting that we make it to the beach to watch the sun go down.

As we sat on the beach, poor Filby seemed to have a little problem with his throat. Down on one knee, he popped the question and presented a beautiful engagement ring. He was pleased with my quick reply, no 'ummm, let me have a think about that.' After tears and champagne we hit the bar. Luckily for us, the hotel bar had already selected the 'worlds most cheesy love songs' which were playing in the background. We had a great evening, interupted by my random outbursts of tears. After I hyjacked a golf cart, (I was busy showing the delivery man my ring whilst Adam sprinted behind) we called our family to tell them our news. My Dad asked Adam when he was planning on getting a job ;-) More tears and finally we collapsed into bed. Awoke nursing a champers hangover but still smiling. Can not believe we are going to get married - hee hee!
