I wanted to share our big news with all my lovely blog friends!
On friday (my birthday) while we were out mountain biking & swimming in a lake (very us!) down the south coast my gorgeous boyfriend of 7 years Ben asked me to marry him! We are over the moon with happiness & very excited! Thought id share with you a bit of how our amazing weekend went....
Woke up to find some friends out the front of our cabin!
Birthday breakfast looking over the lagoon
Then a mountain bike ride into town for a coffee at the bakery
And then decided to ride home around a beautiful seculded lake! It was so hot & it was crystal clear so we decided to go for a dip!
Although we didnt have swimmers so it was in our undies hehe
And on the little white sand beach Ben managed to trick me into attemping to look across the lake for something that wasnt actually there...i turned around & there he was on one knee pulling a box out of his pocket! :) ENGAGED!!!
Then we spent some time sitting in the sand soaking it all up! ...not very glam in my undies & 'not so hot' bra but very 'us' out there in the wilderness! hehe
Ben was very happy with himself! And a bit relieved too!
Thumbs up!
Calling the family
Then back on the bikes to ride back to the cabin...and trying not to crash whilst admiring my new sparkler!
Spending the avo celebrating with a bottle of french bubbles!
My divine ring! VERY spoilt ;)
Prawns & bubbles on the deck!
My parents arrive for birthday celebratiuons...i had kind of forgotten it was my birthday!
Bens parents arrive the next morning with more bubbles!

While we went for a kayak down the lagoon & swung off rope swings into the water! very fun!
Then to celebrate (a bit more) at Rick Steins restaurant, Bannisters for dinner at Mollymook! This place was amazing so ill give it its own post later in the week!
