Big News



If you follow me on IG, then this blog post comes as no surprise to you. But for those of you who don't...This one's for you and for me, as this blog is a diary of my life, and I have no doubt I'll be wanting to look back at this post.


I, WE, GOT ENGAGED!!


I haven't been able to stop smiling since Saturday night when my now fiancé, Jonathan, proposed to me. I even woke up at 6am this morning, like a kid on Christmas morning, because I am so over the moon/ hypo / hypo / hypo. Jonathan is so cute and has been in the same mood as well.


I've got a lot of photos and stories to share, but for now, here is a pic of me and my engagement ring. It's off to get re-sized - I have ridiculously small fingers, and it has to be sent away as it had to be re-sized by SIX sizes. My ring is a vintage/antique ring - It's my "placeholder ring". We will be designing a ring together!!! How exciting is that? I am really looking forward to such a wonderful experience. What an awesome experience to share together. I'll be wearing this baby til we finalise ideas etc!


Did I mention I am SO HAPPY. Oh My Gosh


I can't believe I now have legit reasons to look at wedding blogs, wedding dresses, hair styles etc...Even though the wedding will be a while off, it's so bloody exciting to think about!!


Lots of love all around, Ally xoxo
