~Raison d'etre~

 I just got back after doing some prep at my new school before starting tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to working there ^-^ Its a shame that whenever I find a nice school, I get a temporary job ^^;

That's life I guess - but it won't stop me enjoying it ^-^

New Year is that time of year when you start thinking about way to change to improve your life - this is the first year in a while that I haven't written a proper set of resolutions. I may have been worried a lot about money recently, and (of course) losing a few pounds would be nice, and I could go on about how, at the moment, I've lost my love of conventions - but I've got so many things going right in my life now that I don't want to dwell on the bad. I have the most wonderful fiance, some lovely friends and I now have a steady income - I'm really very lucky to have those :)

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*
