Important Announcement.

As you have all been following my life via the blog in the last few months I don't see how this should be any different. But for once I'm going to take a back seat and let Scott post on my blog. Well, I'm going to copy one of his recent emails to me into this blog anyway...

G'day again Sweetness

Just realised something with all this talk of
weddings.

Will you marry me? Are you willing to share the rest of your
life with me?

I think asking by email is the only method I had not tried
yet. I have done it in person, in bed, on a plane, in a car, over the phone and in a letter.

Just thought I would get that out of the way. Now that I have tried all of these different methods. I can start drafting a proper proposal.

Feeling relatively sure you will answer in the positive and this is not an elaborate hoax to keep me occupied.

Miss you

Love you
Come home soon
Scott the fiancee

Yep, we're engaged. So if you happen to be a close friend or family member you had better put our names down in your diary for the 9th of July. This year. Having finally decided that we wanted to get married, we also decided we couldn't wait. There won't be an engagement party (won't be time). The church, reception and honeymoon are booked. (We've actually been planning this since February.) Now Scott just has to get around to proposing.... properly. He has been very wonderful doing lots of running around and booking things, while I sit here in China and email him "don't forget to..." etc.

We are quite possibly insane, as we will have a bare month after I get back to do a lot of shopping. Now I would like to receive lots of comments telling me your response to this blog and online proposal.

Scott,
I love you.
Thanks for doing so much work
and for being such a wonderful support while I've been here in China. See you in
six weeks!
love Laura xxx
