Just to elaborate;
I am engaged :)
At about 5:55 on Saturday the 26th of November, I took Kylie to her old unit. She thought we were going to check out a house for sale, so when I stopped and we got out, she looked around for a FOR SALE sign. There wasn't one.
I gave her a hug, and kissed her. It was the exact spot where we first kissed, after our first date. Well, where she kissed me - I was too nervous.
I told her where we were standing (though she knew), and then I got down on one knee, and opened the little green box that the ring was in and held it up. I'm not sure if she heard me ask her "Will you marry me?" because she was cying the second I was on one knee. But, she did. She said "yes" between tears, and I said "Really??", knowing full well she would.
The events leading up, and after it are too much to write, but to answer some questions I've had since;
- Yes, I did get on one knee
- Yes, I did ask her father's permission first
- No, there's not date yet!
That's all for now. |

So a lot has been happening. Well, a lot and some... and more and very little. I miss writing on here, I write on here a million times a day in my head - but I feel more insignificant than the people I read, so it stays there, in my head. |

Settlement is Friday week, the 8th of April. Tuesday just gone, I received the phone call with "Formal Approval" from the bank. It's been a long three weeks, applications, money, more applications, documents to prove this and that. It's been tiring.
The sale fell through twice, to two other people.. so when Tony and I saw it, and found that out, it was like fate. I didn't expect anything when I received the phone call from a friend of Tony's who works at the Real Estate Agent. She said the girl who was going to buy this house, pulled out. And, I could see it that night if I wanted. I didn't have the money, not enough anyway. A fair bit, but would fall short. So I figured why not check it out. Apparently it was a bargain. I asked Tony, my next door neighbour, if he wanted to come for a drive.
We saw the house, and walked through it. It was on a main road, but that was ok. The next morning the house was going to have an open inspection and from what the agent said, it would sell on the spot. IT was up to me to say yes within an hour.
I told the agent I'd call him within the hour, and we left. I turned to Tony in the car and said "Want to buy a house?"
And that was that. We rang the mortgage broker. Worked out finances. Worked out arragements etc etc. The plan is that I move in, with my brother Scott (He lives with me now where I live) and Tony stays at his parents, where he has it pretty good anyway. Scott pays rent. I pay mortgage, Tony pays mortgage. I pay Tony "spending money" as I'm living there.
And, we work. Work our asses off. Work like there's no tomorrow.
The house was "sold" for $205k 2 months ago - and the woman pulled out, short of funds. It was sold for $195k a month ago, and the girl pulled out, second thoughts (much to her parents disappointment!).
And so we got it, for $185k. Bargain.
So, April 8th, Friday week, we get the keys. I have holidays until the 19th so I'm working on it from hour one. Well, right after Tony and I have a beer sitting on the lounge room floor. First, sanding walls, and painting the entire house. Then maybe taking the carpet off of the lounge and sanding/polishing the floor boards. Paint gutters and down pipes, replace all tap fittings and light fittings.... so much to do. And the yard, we have SO many ideas.
It's our project. And, it's my "home".
I can't wait.

Things that are good:
- Hoping the mortgage broker rings with good news
- Walking with my girl
- Going into projects, big projects, with close friends
- Painting on large canvases with an old friend
- The Allman Brothers, specifically Whipping Post
- Potential change
Things that err on the other side of good:
- Feeling bitter about "silly mistakes" that one person seems to have forgotten even happened and the other feels heartbroken
- Not being given the courtesy or respect of any explanation of any real length
- Feeling like I can't write on here because it's all negative, bitter thoughts.
- Drugs. (Not taken by me)
- Poor excuses
- Feeling lost, and alone |

After I arrived home from basketball tonight, I went for a walk with my girl. I like walking with her, it's good for us to get out, especially when it's late and no one is around. I told her about all sorts of things; about what's making me sad, and on the flipside, what's making me happy. I told her about people in my life, people I wish were in my life, and people I thought were in my life that probably never were.
I told her about life, and she listened. She didn't say anything; she didn't have to. She just looked at me and made me feel wanted. To be honest, I didn't need her to reply. I just wanted to say what I had to say for my own sanity.
I love my girl, more than anything. |
