Hello Everyone, welcome to the first post in our brand new series "Hocks A to Z"! This week the letter is "A" and the word(s) we have chosen are Anna and Allan!
This seemed an obvious choice as without Anna and Allan meeting, The Hocks wouldn't exist!
So, how did Anna and Allan meet? Well.. in 2007 Anna went for an interview and got a job in the Chester branch of the book company that Allan is Area Manager for (you should all know that Allan wasn't the Area Manager for the company then, he was just in Chester helping for a few weeks over Christmas!) . On her first day, Anna very nervously walked into the book shop to be greeted by the manager of the shop.. and Allan.
Throughout the next few weeks Anna and Allan got on with each other very well and struck up a wonderful friendship. They met up lots of times out of work, and, well you know how it goes, friendship turned to more and they eventually started a lovely relationship.
At the time Allan lived in Southport with Tommy, Michelle and Colin and worked for the book company opening new shops and worked away from home a lot. Any spare day he had off, he would drive to Wrexham to spend the day with Anna, then he would drive back to Southport again to get ready to go back away to work the next day! He must have been SHATTERED!
Over the next few years, Anna left the book company to start a new job and Allan got promoted to Area Manager (he is still working away from home for most of the week though!). During these years Anna and Allan had some lovely times and made some lovely memories together. Of course, they each became part of each others families, which is how The Hocks began!
Some of these memories included..
Lots Of Laughing!
A Trip To Laaaandan Town!
Holiday's To Bournemouth With The Wilcocks!
A Holiday To Ibiza With The Hughes'
And of course lots more wonderful days out and memories!
In 2010 Anna and Allan's life changed and became even better when they found out that Anna was pregnant with Rosie!
During the next 9 months, Anna and Allan spent ALOT of money, including buying their first home, a beautiful little ground floor flat that served them very well!
9 months flew by and 4 days early, at 10.20pm on the 17th December 2010, Rosie Elin Wilcock was born, weighing a perfect 7lbs 3oz. She was perfect (and still is!) and everybody fell in love with her instantly.
Over the past 4 years we have watched Rosie grow out of being a baby and become a proper little girl!
On 2nd March 2012, Anna and Allan got married. The wedding was beautiful, but we wont tell you too much as we are sure there will be a separate post about it soon!
In April 2012, Anna and Allan went on their Honeymoon to Paris. During their tome there they had a wonderful time taking in the sights, having wonderful meals out, going on a river boat trip and even took a day trip to Disneyland! They had such a wonderful time and REALLY hope to be able to go back again!
Since being married, Anna and Allan have done lots more lovely things together. Including, lovely days out, going to see concerts and also, selling their flat and buying a brand new house!
Here is to the rest of their lives together and many more memories to come!
Hope to see you for next weeks Hocks A TO Z post, where the letter will be B!
