First Date!

Hello my lovelies :) 

You probably will find it hard to believe what this post is going to be about but i'll explain more as we go! 

So this Saturday just gone (yesterday as I'm writing this) I went on my first ever date with my hubby-to-be Daryl. He took me to our local Harvester (restaurant) and we had a lovely meal together. We got to talk about serious things going on in our lives and things happening in Castle Clarke this year. But I think the best part is we actually got to sit down and talk about silly stuff too! No talk of bills or work or stuff happening in the family, just normal young couple chit chat. It was my first ever real date. I have been out with previous boyfriends before but it was normal group dates/ sitting bored while they chatted to other people! I feel so much closer to Daryl now, (if thats even possible!). Its the little things that keep me happy but the fact he put in the effort to take me out after helping me deal with my illness for so long was like he was sent for me from heaven. He really is my knight in shining armour! In more ways than I'm willing to write on the internet too. He really has changed my life around for the best and took me away from the demons holding me captive! (No, I do not mean my parents haha!). 

Now, I know you must be thinking, why has it taken so long for you to go out on a date? 

You may not know but me and Daryl have actually been together 3 years in April. When we first began talking he saw past all the things that I saw myself as 'Imperfect'. He didn't even bat an eyelid when I told him I had a little girl :)

When I met him I had a couple of illnesses. I had Gastric problems which made me feel sick 24/7 and I had deep depression (although I didn't know that at the time). It made it hard to try and begin a relationship when everyone was telling me that I needed to concentrate on myself and get better, but I knew I couldn't let him go. So, I didnt. We spoke about my illness for a while and decided to meet and see how we felt seeing each other after having such deep conversations. I think the best thing for me was how natural it all felt. We never really did go on a date though, the first time we met was at my mums house so it wasnt exactly a date. From there on we became joint a the hip :D. We spent as much time together as we could, felt horrible when we were apart and the rest is history ;). So hopefully that explains why we never had a first date, also the fact that he helped me through those illnesses and managed to get me in a mind set where eating in a public place was an OK thing to do. Is it sad to say I'm a little proud of myself for doing it? Well tuff, I'll say it anyway, I'm very proud of myself.

What a great start to the year for me and my little family. I hope this is a good sign of things to come!

Until next time my lovelies!

Kiss, Kiss. Mumma Bubs.
