Well, that is not totally true. I will still have Andrew and Leah here (and also my lovely neighbor Laura and her daughter) So totally alone I will not be!
Tomorrow Kristian is heading to France for 1 week. He is going down to be a Marshal at Le Mann. He did this last year and LOVED it so much, so now I think it is becoming a bit of a tradition. He, along with 4 of his go-kart friends, will be standing at post 61, Michelin chikane. So if you watch Le Mann and see a huge Danish flag being displayed as some of the cars fly by - this could be Kristian!
He has spent the better part of the weekend getting organised for it all. They sleep in tents and the weather doesn´t look too promising. Glad it´s him and not me going!! He is all excited, he is like a wee boy waiting for Christmas! haha For me spending a week at a racing track, having to listen to the sound of cars going around and around would be pure torture. It´s good we all are different!
As for me - I have a busy week planned! I have a "girly night in" coming up, a visit to my old lady, a summer party at work and I would love to get some art work done too. In between all that I have to work, be a mum, make the dinner, clean the house, do washing and be a taxi driver for Leah! (except when Andrew is home - he loves to do that job!) So I will not be bored!
As for Andrew - Love is still in the air! (I am finding it really weird having a son in love! haha)
We were talking about love this afternoon at lunch and about how quickly you can fall in love. I happened to say to Andrew "I think it´s a bit quick to say you´re in love after a few weeks....." (I sounded so like my mum!) Kristian coughed and looked at me, laughed and said..."And how long did it take us to fall in love and then go and get engaged??!!!" Oh yeah - I forgot about that! Boy what I must have put my mum and dad through! It was crazy what I did!!!
(For those of you that don´t know you can read on....
I met Kristian in June at a conference in England. I didn´t really speak to him. At the most we said 3 sentences to each other over the week.
Kristian however did get my address from a friend and wrote to me. We wrote letters to each other for about a month. Then we started to make cassette tapes to each other (I know - we are sooo old!!) That is how we got to know each other.
I must admit I had fallen for him at the conference, and already during our letter writing time I started to fall in love. Then after that first tape I was in love! We made tapes for about 2½ months. Then I came to see him in Denmark.
I arrived Friday evening. This was the first time we would really speak face to face. The first time we would go on a date. On the Saturday evening he purposed - I said yes but thought we really should think about it for a few days to make sure! haha We thought about it until Tuesday when he gave me a ring that he had picked out for me. (and that´s a whole other story!!)
Kristian and me on the night of our engagement
I rang my mum and dad and told them I was engaged! At least my mum and dad knew a little about Kristian. However they thought it was just a "penpal thing" that would blow over. Kristian´s mum and dad knew NOTHING about me so when he rang to say he was engaged and getting married in under a year....they asked "WITH WHOM??!")
So I suppose I can´t go on about falling in love too quickly! :-)
And I must admit - I am even more in love after almost 23 years of marriage and 24 years of being together! (Do you want a bucket?!haha) So I suppose what I am trying to do is remind myself that you can fall in love quickly yet make it last a lifetime!)
