Despite working here since June last year it's only in the last few months that Kieren and I have started really talking outside of the project meetings! It all began with an enquiry over the sword class he attends, followed by an offer to take me to one :) Thanks perhaps to Roland encouraging me to try fencing and my realisation that I'd rather play with a proper sword! ;)

We quickly discovered a shared interest in my cooking and that Kieren's actually quite useful in the kitchen, for a man! ;) Then on Talk Like a Pirate Day after we'd spent the night creating a treasure hunt in the office and, of course, the pirate ship cake, he asked me out! :D
Since then there's been something of a whirlwind romance, culminating last week, on my Birthday, with a very special proposal :) We were up at Stafford Castle in the sunshine, cuddled together on a bench enjoying the view, when Kieren gets down on one knee, presents me with a beautiful diamond ring, and asks me to marry him :D Obviously I said yes, and we've been bouncing around ever since telling everyone, and now you know too! :D
