Getting to know me, getting to know all about me

Well I have to say, when I asked Rachel to marry me, I didnt quite expect to have a blog done about me. But you know, it's fine (so far), I've got some straight forward questions to answer, though I know they'll get tougher as we go on. It's questions like, "Have you ever been seen in public dressed as a woman?" that I'm not looking forward to. Besides, I'm doing this for Rachel. I know you've already told me this, but I'm the luckiest guy in the world. Can I also just say, I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible in Texas in April.

Anyway, back to the questions;

What is my full name?

Timothy Graham Farmer - Just call me Tim. Please dont call me 'Timothy,' I probably wont answer to it, my friends might say it to wind me up. 'Timmy' is even worse! Dont get me wrong I love my name, but usingmy full name makes me fell like I've done something wrong. Rachel's always calling me Timothy for some reason.....

When is my Birthday?

4th January 1978 - I was a few days late. I was due on Christmas Day. I think I might have caused some upset that year. My Nan & Grandad came up for my birth, but they had to go home and just as they left........I was born!!! Hooray for Timothy!!!!!!!!

Do I have any Brothers or Sisters?

I have a brother (see photo), called Jonathan (Jon). He is 33 and is married to Sue who is 30. They have two children, Phoebe aged 2 and a bit, and Rowan aged 9 months. They are sooo qute and they love Rachel - who wouldn't.

Where and how did I meet Rachel?

We meet at an event - called Soul Purpose - my church was putting on for the young people of mine and Rachel's church. She came in with one of our mutual friends, Vicky. At this point, I hadn't seen Rachel. I had my back to her, as I was doing the powerpoint for the songs (although Vicky did tell Rachel about me, pointed me out - the back of my head anyway and said, "I'll have to introduce you.").
When they event finished I got up to talk to peeps, I turned round and there was a vision of beauty.....I have to say I was interested from 'word go.' But there is something you should know about me, I'm a bit of a shy guy, in the respect of talking to girls anyway. I knew if I went over there and drew on my reserves of charm and wit, I'd be a bumbling fool within milli-seconds. But ya know, it wasn't like that at all. The conversation was free followiing, sure I was nervous, but it just felt right.

What was the first thing I noticed about Rachel?

Well there were two things really. First let me say, I was attracted to her from afar, I thought she was gorgeous. When I first stood in front of her, face to face, it was her wonderfully blue eyes. <>This is going to sound really cheesy, but I don't care cos it's true, but I could stare into and get lost in her eyes for hours. Secondly, it was her accent and the sound of her voice, I just love it. Whether I'll ffeel the same way when she's screaming at me when I've forgotten our 50th wedding anniversary is another matter.

Well they weren't too bad. I'm quite happy to answer more, keep'em coming.
