We are beginning to see the other side of the last few months. Wil finally has another job after his company being eaten by the two horse race that is media advertising and he will start that in two weeks. I have passed my probation period (which after a few future wrangles with the HR department will hopefully mean that I have some kind of financial stability) and the firm doesn't have any messy deadlines coming up which means I wont be working 75 hour weeks for the foreseeable future. Now that things are calmer, its weird to see where we are. Six months ago, we were both in jobs that we had been in since university, we lived with my sister who I had lived with for 5 years and things were pretty stable. Now things have all changed and the only thing that is constant is the two of us. I am glad that we were living together and engaged when all this change took place as it really helped me feel grounded. It meant that our world could be shaken up but that I could be safe in the knowledge that when all the bits had floated down, Wil and I would be standing there together looking at that new landscape. I don't know what I would have said to this statement before we were engaged. I don't think I would have believed that it was going to make a difference in the way it has. Or maybe it hasn't made a difference and Wil and I have just evolved in the way that we would have done with or with out being engaged... There is no way of telling except by how I feel. I do feel it has made a difference.
It certainly gave us some presents! On Sunday we finally spent our engagement gift vouchers (after being wishy washy and undecided for a whole 13 months) on some insanely beautiful Denby plates and bowls.
And then whilst I was near the cabinet I though I would just show you these too
What can go wrong with a night in if you have some hefty brandy glasses and a filled decanter for a warm winter evening of debauchery!
Hurrah for consumption (of the material and alcoholic variety)!
