Hi Everybody,
I have a really lovely family story to tell you and I know you will say "AaaaHhh!!"
So if you have followed me for a while you will know about my handsome Grandson Jamie opening his first restaurant just before Christmas.
I am so happy to say that he is doing really well and building up that reputation for excellent food and good service.
We all worked really hard to refurbish it and none worked harder than Jamies girlfriend Jasmine. She has stood by him through thick and thin.
She has put up with his tantrums when things weren't going right, comforted him in his frustrations at the many unforeseen problems
Endlessly moved rubbish in her car and scrubbed and cleaned anything she could see.
She has helped him night and day and she has and laughed with him when it all came together. She has even waited tables for him once he opened and gives her service to customers with a smile and cheery word
They arranged to close the restaurant for a few days after New Year to give them both a well earned rest
So as part of his Christmas gift she booked a surprise trip for them both to Paris for three nights and they went this week
He was very emotional when she told him but quite excited at the same time as neither have been to Paris
Now unknown to her he planned a little surprise of his own ...
On the first night they arrived they went out to dinner to a really lovely restaurant ... and he asked her to marry him.
He had asked her parents secretly before they went and he bought her the most beautiful engagement ring ... and she said YES!!
I could not be happier as they are so well suited and she is a real treasure and we all love her too.
So I wish them all the very best in their new future together and this is the card that I have made for them. Thank you for reading my story and I am sure you will wish them all the best too
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Good morning Christina,
ReplyDeleteAeh now that is a lovely story to read and if Jasmine can put with all this various emotions that has brought them this far, then she is definitely worth her salt. It's nice to read that your Jamie still did that old fashioned thing of asking her daddy's permission as that seems to have went by the wayside these past years. CONGRATULATIONS JAMIE AND JASMINE, i hope that you will be very happy together.
love and crafty hugs
