2 years on

Hi,

Tonight's blog is quite a special one and it's on the eve of a special day, it will mine and Priti's 2 year anniversary tomorrow of the day we started going out.

So to start off I'd like to wish my wife to be a very happy anniversary with many more happy years to come after we are married this year.

The whole blog will just be dedicated to this so hopefully those who read this won't get bored of me rambling on.

It started in September I began speaking to a girl I knew nothing about it began with simple messages getting to know each other and just seeing what the other was like as a person........ the same with the millions of people who meet in the world. Eventually it went from fb to getting each others numbers and the texting began cant even start to explain the number of texts per hour we would send, thus we found out a lot about the other and it built a strong trust. Soon those texts turned into phone calls we would talk whenever we could during work lunch breaks after her shifts and any other times we could find. So as the days went by I personally felt a stronger bond with Priti and realised that this could go somewhere not getting my hopes up too high as the last few months had not been that great for me in fact by this point I was ready to give up on the whole thing, so glad I hadn't.

So end of September came about and by this time I had found out enough to know I wanted to meet this girl who just makes me smile throughout my whole day to the point where people wonder why I am so happy. So I plucked up the courage to suggest meeting somewhere local between the two of our houses to which she agreed without much hesitation, it was defiantly a day to remember, fast foward to 9th October 2012 a day that changed both our lives, I decided to go straight after work just down to traffic so we were talking on our respective journeys and the time was getting closer to seeing this girl I'd only seen in pictures til that day. So i parked up nerves all jangled thinking about what I would say or how I should act yet at the same time I felt this seems so good by phone and text it can't be any different in person right. Walked up to where we agreed to meet up and that first glance I made at this beautiful girl just smiling and walking towards me.......... something just clicked and all I could think was I know she is the one for me.

Our first date was very simple a long walk then to a local shish place in the area, we sat down started talking and shared a plate of chips, it seemed perfect. As the night went on we started understanding each others ways what we both did work wise what our interests were etc and without having to say a word we had both decided that we wanted to be together, so began the journey it was a great evening out and where time went we didn't even realise. Time came to go home and I offered to driver her back this gave us more time together which felt amazing. She went home and I soon enough I received a nice text saying how nice the evening was.

Next day we began talking about everything we found out more and more about each other and it just took off from there. As all couples we have had our ups and downs but each event in our lives has only made us stronger to fight the next thing.

As we are about to get married and the date gets closer, I've learnt that your partner isn't just a person you're with they are your best friend, soul mate companion, company, person to turn to in rough times and the one person who will understand anything and everything about you to the point where you never have to say a word to each other and you've had an entire conversation. I've never had this before in my life and will only have it with Priti no one could and would make me any happier (parents the obvious exception) so as the day comes to my longest relationship and my ever lasting one, I just want to thank God and Priti for being there when I needed them and keeping me strong, showing me things I could not always see for myself and helping me understand my potential.

To close this blog I just wanted to say I love you Priti Patel and cannot wait to spend my life with you xx

Feels all about the wedding :)

Hi all,

So it's been 2 months since the last blog and just thought I'd get everyone back up to speed on things, so after the madness of the house work in July was over it was time to get back into settle down mode again where we just take things a little easier than usual. But it was the exact opposite, there was even more to do knowing that there was a wedding coming around.

Fast forward to August, more running around to get things finalised and also being able to pick up the suit for the registry felt really nice seeing what I would be wearing that day but the biggest prize was my Indian suit, that would be a dream but one for September. All in all a busy month with some birthdays anniversaries and other celebrations just made me feel and realise that all those we are celebrating with will do the same for us come the end of the year and that is a brilliant feeling.

End of August mum was ready to go to India for 3 weeks a big miss but she went to finalise all the things we needed i.e. suits invites and various other things that need to be bought for the wedding.

Although mum was gone it was still a fun time in Harrow, had some nice evenings out with close people and spent time with Dad something that's rare these days considering where I am.

Now that's all done everything is bought it's just a case of looking forward to the big day, the best feeling you can have is seeing those invites meant for family friends and those loved ones who you've known your whole life. Handing them out will be an altogether different feeling so in the coming week I will be getting together with people for catch ups and also invitations so keep your phones handy.

Apart from that it feels like nothing has been going on yet every day is a bit of drama every where, how ever much you try to avoid people or situations which can cause hurt you get brought into them even more.

But on a plus note, found a new game Don Bradman Cricket, brilliant for all Cricket fans who like me have a lot of time to spare despite a lot of planning. Have spent a lot of hours on that game and many more to come.

In events we have Navratri which will have to be missed again this year but 2 years out of 27 isn't a bad record so not too upset.

Thanks for reading everyone will be back with more events and stories as it comes closer and closer to December with the next two months being quite busy.

Take care all

Mihir

House turns into a home

Hi again everyone hope all is well,

It's been about 2 months since I've written and purely because so much has been going on difficult to get enough time sometimes.

So first things first, I'd like to congratulate two friends who recently bought a house for themselves want to wish them all the best in the future and good luck for their happy home.

Well it has been a tough 2 months so far a lot of happening starting with the house, it has now been completely overhauled and anyone who ever came round when it was as it was will hopefully see the difference, from the flooring to carpets and the bathroom which looks incredible now. It's finally fit for a married couple to live in which will be the case in a few months from now :)

In this time running around getting everything sorted but thanks to my parents and Priti who always seems to get a mention somehow it was all so easy couldn't have done things without them and any chance of a break down was avoided. So the house looks great now with blesses from family and friends.

Now onto wedding talk, it's been kept aside for a while until the house is done up so come August/September it will be time to get back onto it, as mad as it can be planning wise I think we've coped very well but the gritty stuff will come in November, looking forward to seeing friends and family there to celebrate our day. I guess the hardest part can be pulling it all together but when you have an ocd nature and an ocd fiancée its none too difficult. Planning the whole thing is great but it will be better seeing it all happen and i know the people who we need help from will  never back away from us so thank you all in advance.

At this point I'd think of a saying or something but minds a blank so I will end on a nice note, self belief can be construed as arrogance but as long as you don't put someone else down and big yourself up by saying I'm better than you. Yet you wake up thinking I am the best I can be, it can never be seen as arrogance. A very nice thought from someone famous who is a hero to me. So taking a positive spin on things will help.

Take care all best wishes and blog again soon (funny enough Google doesn't see blog as a valid word despite being on a blogging website)
