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

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………………………………….

We had been together just over 2 years. Everything was going really well; so the more rational amongst you might ask the question: “Why rock the boat?”. Why not just carry on living together happily? I know how much getting married means to Nicky, and I love her very much.………………………………….

Marry You

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………………………………….

Moving in together

After a relatively short period of time, we decided that we’d like to make things more permanent; it just seemed right. Travelling back and forth from Monmouth was difficult, and time consuming for her, and it meant that we could only see each other a few times a week. There………………………………….

Getting to Know You

After our first date I had butterflies and was buzzing. I was really looking forward to meeting again. Nicky loves cooking, and suggested that she came over to cook for us here. I asked my carer to leave us to it for the evening, and we had the place to………………………………….

Unconditionally

I have so much to tell you about. I’m torn between telling you about the wedding and all the exciting things that are happening. But I also want to tell you more about the early days of our relationship and how I found myself turning cartwheels around the moon with happiness………………………………….
