This Saturday, as always, I am grateful for my Farmer Boy.I am grateful for love.
I am a bit of a romantic. I believe there's someone out the for everyone. Some of us find our love earlier and some have to go on a bit of a journey to find them.
The first time I ever really remember meeting my Farmer Boy Bren we were at a dance party in the middle of the bush in about 1997. My sister and I were dressed up as Chuppa Chup (lolly pop) fairies. We were wearing enormous poufy tutus, tiaras, fairy wings, t'shirts that said insert coin and massive jars of Chuppa Chups we had fashioned into back packs on our backs. We were probably filthy too.
This gorgeous guy with long dreadlocks came up to us and sort looked at us all confused trying to work out how he could get himself a lolly and we ran away screaming about the best looking guy we had ever seen. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
Luckily we met again a few days later at the prewedding party of a lovely mutual friend and the rest, as they say, is our history....and our present.
I know its mushy but I can't help myself today. I've had a bit of a difficult week and he's been with me the whole time, doing everything he can to help, look after and spoil me. He's my best friend, my team mate, my love.
Grateful doesn't even seem big enough to cover it.
Have a happy and loved up weekend folks.
ps. Thanks Em for the pic. XX

ReplyDeleteGrateful for this post Kate....my journey to find 'the one' took me a while and it was a windy track BUT I have him now and he makes my day worthwhile!!!

Awwww, you guys are too sweet together! What a wonderful meeting as well! You can't say that would happen every day, can you?!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and my identical twin sister worked in the same building. She told me about this hot guy and told me to casually walk past and check him out. He happened to look up and see me as I was checking him out and I smiled awkwardly, poked my tongue out at him for some reason and then quickly kept walking, rather embarrassed! He did a bit of a double take then realised I must be Fiona's twin. He kept asking her for my phone number and then called me for a date. That was ten years ago! :)
Awww Kate! I can just imagine your OMG it's that cute guy from the other night reaction when you were meeting him again. What a great story.
ReplyDeleteI'm really grateful for my man this week too.

ReplyDeleteWhat a funny 'how I met my love' story Kate. I can just imagine you dressed as a Chuppa Chup fairy at a party - was it an Earthcore party? I might have been dancing right nearby, in my home made flares with big fake fur cuffs, and my vans!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo of you together now!
Look at you in your cardy & Bren in his beanie, you guys are my homespun heroes.

How wonderful that you are willing to share your story, and that you recognize and value what you have together. Most people don't recognize what they have! Happy Valentines!
ReplyDeleteI love reading blogposts like this as I am a hopeless romantic and would swoon all day over my beautiful husbo. Enjoy your time together - it is so precious these days and most people take it for granted. X

ReplyDeleteAren't you both so lucky to have found your soul mate! Gotta love a bit of mushy romance. Those of us lucky enough to have it should savour every moment. I sure do. Thanks for sharing your story. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your pic! You didn't meet at Waterstock did you? In the bush around Ballarat?
ReplyDeleteyou two are gorgeous...especially together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo of the two of you. I am certain that love continues to grow if you allow it. Marriage is the hardest and best thing I have ever done. Glad that you have each other.
