Fix You

We’ve been back from Japan for a few weeks now, it was the most incredible trip and I will tell you all about it soon! One of the downsides to a lengthy time away in beautiful sunshine was returning to the UK as autumn marched further towards winter at an………………………………….

Happy Together

Once upon a long ago, I promised I’d keep writing this blog and tell you about the highs and low of life with an occasionally-grumpy tetraplegic. So you came along for the ride up until the point we got married, and then I kind of disappeared! No one to blame………………………………….

The Final Countdown

May 10, 2017 May 10, 2017All Posts, Nicky's story

Four months before the wedding day, David’s carer left us. So whilst we searched for the perfect replacement, I became David’s full time carer….which believe me, is pretty intense and sometimes exhausting. Life with David is never dull but I was trying to manage my own work, wedding plans, gym………………………………….

Friday 27th November; my life changed forever. It started as your average Friday. David’s carer came in at 8am to get him up and I went off to the gym. Nothing unusual. I came back from the gym and spent 4 hours on the phone trying to get tickets for………………………………….

The first date

Waiting for Nicky to arrive for our first date evoked a lot of emotions, but mainly excitement, trepidation, and hope. It was exciting because we had already spoken and messaged each other a lot, and I was looking forward to meeting this bubbly person properly. Obviously our paths had crossed………………………………….

Could it be Magic?

Seeing as this blog is supposed to be about planning our wedding, I guess I should actually start telling you something about it! I’ll get to the wedding stuff, I promise; but there seems to be so many other tales to tell you as well! David’s most recent blog, tells………………………………….

Thinking Out Loud

It’s 17 weeks until we get married. 17 WEEKS!!!! How did that happen?!? We’ve still got so much to organise, but recently life has been revolving around sailing and our trip to the World Championships in Holland. David finished in 7th overall (pretty amazing stuff! He thinks he should have………………………………….

Doin’ the Do!

I believe I promised you all that I would tell you a bit more about a private side of our life. I’m not sure if I can make a blog post about sex funny and interesting whilst retaining an air of dignity, but I’ll gave it a go! Back in………………………………….
