E Is For...........

Just had to share the news - Son # 5 & his girl, the gorgeous Miss A have just announced their engagement tonight!!! She's been in Sydney all week at a conference & he flew up from Adelaide today so they could spend the weekend together. Out at dinner tonight at Circular Quay, he caught her totally unawares & pulled out the ring that's been burning a hole in his pocket for the past couple of months. They've just phoned & there has been much squealing, screeching & jumping up & down here at The Hedge.

We couldn't be happier - Miss A is an absolute delight & we couldn't ask for a better girl for our Bub. Oh gosh, what an end to quite an extraordinary week. I got very teary at one of my favourite clients this afternoon after I told them I was leaving & now this! Pass the Kleenex, I'm about to start again. I'm going to be a Mother-In-Law - YIPPEE!!

    Better start shopping for the perfect Mother-of-the-groom outfit early Mille.... in my experience it causes more angst than the wedding dress itself. Many congratulations to #5 and Miss A.

    Congratulations to you all on the engagement. Nice to hear some happy news. A big change and some excitement with your new position. Must have been a difficult decision at the time, weighing everything up, but a relief to know what you want to do. Best wishes Millie.
    Enjoy your Mothers Day on Sunday.
