I am home~~~
So saturday 19th of October was a full on day!
We got all ready to go away for our second holiday ever. We dropped Oz off at mums. and Jack drove us off to Matlock - derbyshire
we arrived just fine, we walked up round the old unique houses and pubs to a bookshop Jack wanted to go to. It was full, from ceiling to floor of books and 3 stories! Not my kinda thing but Jack enjoys it. We then went back to the car for a quick lunch
We then drove to Lumsdale Valley. Which is one my favourite places! It has water falls! We had a slow walk down the bank cus its very uneven and covered in leaves. Jack helped me every step of the way in case I fell. My legs were becoming weak and tired and shaky. I was also using my inhaler a lot which adds to the shakiness.
We eventually got to the water fall. Jack sat me down on a rock by the water fall and asked if this was my favourite spot. I said it was, I was using my inhaler and trying to catch my breath. Jack sat with me and once I was ok he told me how much he loves me, wants to spend the rest of his life with me, how happy I make him everyday. Then he whipped out a box. Yup. This was my Jack proposing to me *0*
I obviously said yes as I love him to pieces and live with the guy. He put the ring on my finger and freakin fitted!!!! its a lovely pink ruby and diamond gold ring. I will have to take a photo of it. But it was so private no one was around, it was so perfect. I was massively in shock haha
We then walked back to the car. Drove back to the Matlock bath and went for tea and cake which was heaven in my mouth. The best toffee cake I have ever eaten.
Then we could check in at the hotel. I rested for a bit. We talked about telling our parents and we said we prefer to do it in person. So I had to keep that a secret til I got home!
But it was still sinking in that he proposed to me, by a waterfall on my beloved Granny's birthday ^^
I asked him if he asked my parents permission, he said he didnt as he was gonna ask but then worried if he asked then actually bottled asking me XD bless him.
He had the ring since May and was dying to give it to me but because I have been so poorly, we havent been anywhere for him to do the proposal.
We went to dinner and I had a korean chicken and a few chips. I didnt push my luck and over eat as I didnt want to upset my stomach. Jack had a beef burger topped with pulled pork and bacon. He was more happy with his mulled cider XD
We went back to the hotel, I was struggling to walk but the pub was well within walking distance it was great. We had a soak in the bath then called it a night, both of us done in
I didnt sleep well due to pain. I had face ache from not having my pillow, aches from not having my supportive bed, aches from walking. The pain was that bed it was like I could hear the pain. I woke Jack up cus it was pitch black in the room and I needed pain killers and to move. At home we have the diffuser on all night and it lights the room a bit, we also have a street lamp outside our bedroom window lighting the public footpath. All in all, we can see quite well at night.
We got the next morning and we had paid for bike rental for a local lake cycle path. But as soon as I woke up I could hear the rain. It was hammering it down.....our plans ruined. We were gonna go out for breakfast but we did not fancy going out in that! so I had a nice bath to help my aching body. Then we went to reception and asked if we were allowed to have breakfast. she said it was fine and made a quick note of our room number as it would cost £10 each. She said she would stick it on our room.
we walked through to breakfast. Literally being the youngest there XD I had 1 and a half muffins and some fruit as I didnt fancy much else.
we went back to the room and I flopped on the bed deflated. I fell asleep and woke up at 10:30. When I woke up Jack motivated me. Said we would go out and get wet on the bikes. I couldnt bare the thought of how cold and achy I would get but decided to go out and get the lunch and hope the rain passes. We were gonna drive to Matlock for the sainsburys and buy a meal deal to eat at the lake. But when we arrived I realised you got 3 hours free parking so I suggested we just have a chill day and do the shops and have lunch in a cafe
so thats what we did. All the shops are unique and independent no chain shops to be seen! we found a little cafe run by an elderly couple. I had the best carrot and corriander soup i have even eaten. we looked round odd little shops. i did see things I like but it would be buying for the sake of buying. I did find a coat in a charity shop for dad and I bought that. That was the only thing I did buy!
Id had enough, it hadnt stopped raining the entire time. It eased but didnt stop til 4:30pm
at 2pm we drove back towards the hotel and had an ice cream. I had a scoop of oreo and scoop of Malteser. then we went back to the hotel. I was relieved as i could barely walk. I fell asleep as soon as we got back. When I woke up we went for food. We went same pub as it was so quiet there, cheap, and Jack saw drinks he wanted to try. I was fine going same place as we didnt go for the food we go to see places. It also relaxed me as I knew what I would be eating! I decided to have same korean chicken as I enjoyed it. Jack had beef lasagne
he had a couple of drinks and I was just on squash. We managed a dessert! i had toffee pudding with ice cream jack has tiramisu. We stayed there a while then did a walk by the river - the river faced the pub. It was all lit up with fairy lights - the walk called lovers walk X3
we went back to the hotel for a bath and bed, Jack kindly massaged my legs before bed and it helped massively
I slept better think the massage helped. We went out for breakfast which wasnt anything amazing as most places opened at 10am. So it was ether wait round for good food or eat anything and get home to Oz and hour earlier. We both missed loaf and loved all the photos and videos mum sent me.
we packed our stuff and gave the key back, the woman didnt charge us for breakfast! so that was lucky, made me feel better about the wasted bike money.
Jack drove home and as soon as I got home I started unpacking everything. Not sure why! just did it. Of course I had been to see Oz as mum had kindly dropped him off a bit earlier. He was happy to see me, gave me licks, ignored Jack XD
I cooked sausages for Jacks lunch then we had lunch
mum came over and she stayed almost 2 hours.
I showed her my ring. She was shocked! I wasnt sure if she was happy at first but it was just shock bless her. she was happy.
Then once mum left I monged on youtube, went for an early bath, had dinner, now here. Jack has gaming tonight. So I am by myself tonight but i think I will fall asleep rapid tonight. I am exhausted....
we might see jack's family at the weekend to tell them the news ^^
I am so happy about it all. But there is ZERO rush to actually go down the aisle. We are in no hurry and will just do it as and when I am ready basically. Kinda want a new kitchen before blowing my savings on a wedding!
I feel loved and wanted ^^ I am so grateful to my Jack. Hes been so brave. Its a massive thing to do and hes been thinking about it a while bless him!
I have had a lovely holiday with him too, yes not everything went to plan but it was lovely all the same. We both enjoyed it and enjoyed getting out, just the two of us. I am grateful to mum for doing top notch bunny care.
so yeah thats everything I think ^^
I have only told mum and even when I have told Jacks family
we will not be posting it all over social media cus we're not like that. I will message a few people who arent able to physically see me but on the whole I am just gonna wait til I see people to tell them. I prefer to see reactions. Then posting it online and receiving cold likes
love you my Jack~
