Can you believe

the week I just had?

Most of you know that I haven't been online a lot because of work. I work pretty much every waking hour nowadays, but last week saturday I had 1 day off.
We were supposed to go to Concert at sea, but I didn't sleep too well and when woke up I told Gabe to go on without me. I love De Dijk and BlØf, but I was just beat, couldn't picture myself on my feet all day and having a good time doing so.
He begged me to come along, said it was really important to him that I would be there. So, sucker for love as I am, I did.

It turned out to be the best day ever!!!!
We had brought our airmatrass to share a room with somebody else from Xolo, but when we got there we got a really nice room just for the two of us...We were backstage, right in front of the stage, in the VIP-area, danced to De Dijk live for the first time in 15 years with Patrick Lodiers mom and basically had the best time!

Best spot in da house!

Around 22.00 halfway through BlØf the weather turned on us, so we packed up our bags and tried to get back to the hotel...
That took us about two hours. When we finally got there, we changed into dry clothes and hotel slippers and went to the hotel-bar, because Chiem had told us:"Nobody goes to bed, nobody! I have a surprise for you and everybody stays awake!"
So we did. It's the funniest thing, but you do what he says. I don't exactly know what it is about him, you just listen.
But I had actually forgotten all about that by the time I had the next conversation:
G:"did you have a good day baby?"
T: "It was the best!!"
G:"Are you glad you came"
T:"Glad?! This is the kind of day we'll remember fifty years from now! When we're sitting on a bench in the park, we'll say: 'remember that day at Concert at Sea? It was soooo great!' We're gonna have a hard time topping this. Thank you for persuading me to come along. It was sooo great! So you better wait with asking me to marry you now, hihi. "
G: "Well actually...."
T: "What?"
G: "Well, actually..." putting his hand in his trouser pocket "Tamara, will you marry me?"
T: "You're kidding me"
G: "euh, no I'm serious. Will you marry me?"
T: "you're kidding me, you're joking, are you serious?"
G: "eh, well yes!"
T: "You're kidding me!" Looking at the little box in his hand "you're kidding me!!" still looking at G opening the box and seeing the ring "Oh my god, you're NOT kidding me! You're kidding me, right?"
G:"no, I'm not kidding, I'm dead serious! Will you marry me?"
T:"Oh my! Oh my god! YES!"
...............
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHH I'm engaged! Never thought I'd be sooo happy about it! Almost a week has gone by and I'm still looking at the ring every ten minutes. Checking if it's real. It is! I so did not see this coming! I'm getting married!

And then yesterday was my birthday. Of course I didn't really have time to throw a party, but nobody seemed to care about that. They just brought the party to me. And they're getting me a new camera so I can take loads of pictures myself again, instead of stealing them from fiends like I do now! I have such great friends and family!
