~Raison d'etre~

On Thursday, I had an interview for a job at the school I've been working - there were 5 candidates, so I was pretty nervous, but I got the job!!~

I've so incredebly happy - its the first permanent job I've ever had, and it means I no longer have to worry about money. I can also start planning our wedding, and go back to Japan this Summer ^_^

Things are finally going well :3

Yesterday was a good birthday spent with Andy-kun :) We met Kei in the morning for the Mario Kart event in town (I highly recommend buying it when it comes out on Friday, its fab!), and went across to see my parents and sister in the afternoon which was nice :)

I got some nice presents too - on top of the lovely gifts from last weekend (which were a framed CCS cel from Steve and Kelly, Magkid DS from Andy, an itunes gift card from Fridge and Cooking Mama 2 from Will). I got a huge Kirby  plush and Taiko DS from Andy-kun, Singstar Legends from Kei, A fab cookery book and necklace from my parents and a bag, sweets and hot chocolate from my sister ^-^

Now for the ouch....with some money from grandparents I bought myself the new DDR game, 'Hottest Party' for the Wii. Its great fun, and integrates hand movements as well as feet. Unfortunately, I have manged to sprain my wrist this afternoon playing it ^^; I've had years of playing DDR without a foot/leg injury and now I've hurt my wrist ^^;;

We had a rematch and I won! (I think it may have been due to the fact that my Prinplup froze his Mudkip solid, or that my Haunter cursed his Spiritomb - but either way, I'm happy!)

After the battle, I pretty much launched into him and burst into tears - I just didn't think that I would win! He tried to get down on one knee to propose properly, but I refused to let go of him, we just held each other. He told me that he's the happiest man in the whole world :)

So, now we are engaged - and we're both very happy to announce it :) We have done in it a way that some people think is a bit silly - but it's perfectly us, and we've never been happier *smiles*

Andy-kun told me today that he's like to ask me to marry him - Ive never been so excited! I don't think I've stopped smiling all afternoon! I love him so much, and its just the most perfect thing that could happen!!! :)

There is only one problem... in order for him to ask me, he has challenged me to a Pokemon Battle - for most people, it probably sounds really mad - but really, it's exactly us ^-^ It shouldn't be a problem, but I got waylaid during play of Pokemon Diamond, and my team is averaging around level 20 ^^; He says he has something up his sleeve for when I manage to beat him! *grabs DS* I think this might be an all night training session ^^;

*smiles lots and lots*
