My (occasionally) better half

Now that I've come back down to earth, I'm sure you're wondering what sort of mental disorder compelled my fiance to want to spend the rest of his life with mean, cranky ol' me!

I could tell you countless great (uh-hmm) things about him, but I'll be brief.

S was born 2 months before me, grew up in PJ, attended university in Perth and likes to hug trees in his spare time hahahahaahah.. I kid. He's an environmental consultant, adrenalin junkie and gym rat. He loves his car and my engagement ring more than anything in the world (next to me, I hope).



He's also smart, adoooorable (I always tell him that he should be thankful we never met in kindergarten or I'd chase him around the block all day just to steal a kiss from him because he's just soooo cute!), caring, reciprocative, affectionate (indulges in PDAs: "For God's sakes, get a room!"), and is full of fire, light, energy and enthusiam.

Though he's the exact opposite of extroverted me, we still have a lot in common i.e. similar goals for the future, religious views (I'm getting baptised.. soon. Yes, you heard me right), geographic preferences, choice of pets (a miniature schnauzer as soon as we move into our little nest), tastes in food, hobbies we wish we had time for, thoughts on whether or not (and when) to have children one day, and more. I could go on..

In short, we're as compatible as we're incompatible (I'm still figuring this one out) and the excitement lies therein ;-) So much so that it's scary (in a good way?? Hmmm..) at times. I've lost count of the number of times I've thought to myself "I can't possibly be this lucky..." (especially when I'm more likely to get murdered than married)


But I am.

We've had a few bumps in the road, naturally. Most of them the obvious results of our pig-headedness from having two horns firmly locked onto each other, and unwillingness to budge.

But it's all part of the journey, and each time we've come away stronger, knowing each other better, and even more confident about our future.

He came into my life when I was on the verge of giving up on meeting good men, ever. And I'm incredibly happy and thankful that we managed to find each other at a time in our lives when we were both ready to find each other. But even more than that, I'm excited about the future we're going to have together.



This is already longer than I thought it'd be, and the reason I'm writing this entry is because he insisted that I wrote as much about him as I did Toby ;-)

So I'll return you to the regular boring stuff, strange news, golden nuggets of advice which I don't follow and the occasional ranting - as soon as I come up with something!
