Honeymoon In Manchester

Richard and I have finally finished planning our much-delayed honeymoon and are now scheduled to depart in mid-March for England and then Spain.

Tough Decisions

A Fitting Engagement

Again, just a quick one since I’m exhausted from work today…
Deets of the engagement: Richard proposed to me through a series of word puzzles (does he know me or what???) that were contained in four birthday cards / presents that he gave to me on Saturday. I got the final card / present [...]
