A week in photo's : Japfest 2013

Hollaa,

So I probably haven't been in everyone's goodbooks lately since it's been aaages since I actually wrote or made a proper blogpost...however my valid excuse is because I've been busy in all other prospects of life (mainly the boring ones!:( )  but anyway less bore more ooh' yeah?'...


My lovely other half Matt has as known as the apparent 'trait of men' The car obssession. luckily for me it doesn't bother me at all as it would other girls..the prospect of a mechanic who talks about cars 24/7 can sometimes be their worst nightmare...but for me..it's just completely normal...so where to start?.

Car's have always been an interest to me since growing up, my grandfather and father were always the keen ;lets restore this classic' type people, and throughout my teenage life I struggled in relationships with guy's who thought car's were 'annoying or stupid'....that being of course until Matt came along..his first car being a standard focus that he hated and had tried to modify it to his taste...then his blue honda civic (the red wheeled one)..Matt thinks/breathes/eats/drinks this civic..and obviously being the 'keenie' decided it was time to show it's various completions at Japfest..

For those who aren't aware it's like a show for japanese cars only..with regular races/drifts around castle coombe racetrack..I'm not the 'racing' type myself...in fact after crashing when I first began driving I can barely face going over 80 at a push (wimp! I hear you say!)..

But for Matt its every car obssessed guy's dream..alot of girls probably think of carshows as being a complete nightmare..but for me its purely exciting..(apart from the miles of walking!) its rare but on this occasion we both realised how strong our bond actually was and how close we were as a couple....We've had critism from various others in the past..but it never affects our bond with one another..

Moral of the post? ..Do what you want to do, enjoy what you enjoy and never let anyone stop you or judge you about it..'

Tag of the day (Our Story)

 

Helloo

So I see this tag everywhere and thought why not give it a shot?..

The tag being about how you met that special person..be it your husband, boyfriend, family member, pet?...

 

 

Kettle on? Okay lets go.....

 

This is Matthew, I like to call him Maffy, Mooble and various other names..which will remain in silence (jeeez)

 

 

 



We met in September 2008 at a Secondary school in Wales. Of which we were (very reluctantly) placed to sit together...(Being the beauty obssessed girl I was back then )I always carried a bag of makeup..and a tin of vaseline...Matt, being a very tormentive person..would empty my entire makeup bag....every single lesson...along with taking over the entire (small) table...and would roll the vaseline tin back and forth along the table..until it landed on the floor...he would do this until it was completely covered in dent. It definately wasn't love at first sight! I hated him and he..hated me..

As the year went on we started becoming good friends..and deepdown feeling's started to bubble...although at the time it was abit embarrassing to admit anything back then! ..I thought he was stupidly good loooking! and probably went through a year of 'fancying' him from then onwards..

Anyway the year's went on and we left school,got on with our daily lives and didn't hear from one another again...Matt had his fair share of girlfriends and I boyfriends....it wasn't until a year later I started restoring a car he decided to have a chat....

Matt is a car obssessed person...in fact...he probably has his own 'obssession' catagory . He hates loud people..indian food and french cars and likes being in a small group of people, japanese cars...fast and furious..and kebabs ( I only realised this when he ordered the same meal on most nights out!)

Sadly as me and Matt grew to be closer friends I then began hanging around with a rather 'wrong' group of people...I spent a few months with them and eventually one of them decided they'd like to impend on a relationship with me..how wrong I was on that one! the 'guy' went from being a real understanding dude to becoming a violently abusive person' in the space of a few weeks...I soon began to realise that it wasn't this guy I wanted..it was Matt.....and quite frankly...if it hadn't been for Matt I probably wouldn't be here or where I am today..he stood up for me, built my confidence,encouraged me that my life wasn't over and helped me to get back onto my feet and start my life again....and so I did.

Just under a few months later and we were an item! If I remember rightly...we were sat watching a film one evening and Matt spontaniously told me he wanted a relationship..'I've never done it face to face before only over text'

So...just under 9 years later and here we are, after nearly an entire year of being in loooove. My favourite thing about him is his ability to see the funny side of things. He puts up with a terrible lot from me! That's something worthy of a medal!.

So I'm tagging everyone in this tag and that's including you!,
feel free to link me back to your tags! I'd love to read! :)
