I am engaged! K set up a treasure hunt, and he gave me a rose for the clue that I found, and eventually, he gave me a Celtic diary with the engagement ring taped at the back. The Hamilton Gardens is beautiful, with trees full of autumn leaves. We went to the place where we met, where we talked, where I worked, and had a great time. However, the ring was loose so we sent it to be refitted in Gemtime. Although I want to tell everybody that I am engaged, I will have to wait until the ring comes back. K's mum is thrilled, and his nanna called in the evening to congratulate me. Mum was a bit disappointed that I didn't bring the ring home, well, I am disappointed that I can't wear it now, too.
The three day weekend went smoothly. K made me a sponge cake, and I bought the cream and fruit for icing. We sang Happy Birthday to you in Chinese. I managed to teach K how to sing the song in Chinese with a song sheet. It was a fun day.
We watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy and ate a lot of popcorn yesterday to celebrate the birthday. I had fried chicken and chips for lunch today. I don't feel that different when I am 26, but certainly content and happy.
