Big News!!!

I'm feeling rather proud of myself. I'm engaged to the most incredible woman on the planet.

It's been quite an incredible time. Some of it surreal, others parts a little backwards, but all of it exciting.

I went and spoke to Katherine's dad on 25 September. Was only planning to do it in the first week of October, but the prospect of having the day of asking her dad "the dreaded" question slowly sneak up on me was causing too much anxiety. How it would happen was the only thing consuming my thoughts. So on the public holiday I knew that both of Katherine's parents would be home. So I phoned up and let them know that I would like to come by and chat to them.

When I arrived we sat down for some tea and crumpets in their sun room. I had a sip of my rooibos and decided to jump straight into it. I turned towards Mr. Becker and said "Actually Mr. Becker I am here to speak specifically to you". At this point he simply smiled and laughed, obviously knowing what I was about to ask.

I then realised I had no idea how to phrase the question, but had no time to pause and think how to ask it. I opened my mouth, and said something. Not sure what, but it must have been in English and obviously made sense because Mr. Becker replied yes.

So it's a done deal!!! A wedding date has been set. 20 January. It will be a glorious day. And time has flown... 92 sleepies left if I'm not mistaken :) :)

I couldn't be more excited, Katherine's family seems to like me a lot. So not only will I be getting an amazing wife, but some great in-laws. The things that I am most excited about are:
  1. My bride to be.
  2. Katherine
  3. My future wife
  4. Birthing our destiny together
  5. Having a home and not just a house.
  6. No more abstinence :)
  7. Having Kids (1 little 2 little 3 little Henry's, 4 little 5 little 6 little Henry's)

Woohoooo!!!!!!
