Jodi News
Babymoon and my first entry
| Well it seems my plans to have it easy and sit back whilst Jodi maintained commentary on our personal lives have finally come to nothing. So here I go... I have just managed to wipe the original contribution to the fotola, which probably wasn't the best omen - but nevertheless I will see how much of it I can recall. We are both just finishing up our babymoon in Prague at the moment. This is one of my favourite European cities (along with Budapest) - every building is beautiful, the food is excellent, the people are friendly and there isn't the pressure to go and see a load of castles and churches. With any luck though there will be a few concerts to see (Vienna being somewhat dissappointing in that respect). We have also managed to sort out our lives as well, rearranging our original Australia wedding to the UK, putting together house plans to move to St Albans and considering Jodi's future career (Professor of politics, Doctor of Medecine and corporate flunky all getting a look in). The most amazing news is of course Isabelle. Should probably just apologise to her in advance. I forsee a point where some ten thousand pages of fotola picture and updates will be presented to her on her eighteenth birthday by a doting father (a little more grey, a little wider around the middle and no doubt wrapped around her little finger) - sorry girl but you are just going to have to read it - or in the words of you mother (eternally beautiful at 50) 'suck it up'. I have just turned 27 at this point so although at the tender age of 18 that may make me seem quite old - its not that much further along than you are now - so be nice to the old man as you may find yourself doing something like this one day. We are just deciding your middle name at the minute - so if we have got that wrong and you are being endlessly teased then I'm sorry about that too - ditto for your first name and any of the clothes we may have forced you to wear while you were growing up. Life has been so amazing since I met Jodi (I hope for both of us), I have to often step back and remember we still haven't known each other for 2 years yet. I actually thought I had delayed the engagement in Paris for too long - I was certain quite some time before that (Budapest always jumps to my mind as being a point of perfect happiness, but actually it only takes a few more seconds to remember all the other great things we have done - be it a camping trip in Edale, to a lay in and a walk on a Saturday morning). Everything else that has happened since then - wedding plans, baby plans, house plans, career plans are just details around maximising the amount of time we spend together. Life is good. Anyway we need to get on with enjoying the last few days of our holiday, so I will write soon. |
