So yesterday was as everyone knows...Valentines Day, but it was also our 1 year anniversary of dating. Now we can add one more thing to the day...the day we got engaged! :) Troy made me an amazing dinner...he planned everything out down to the very small details...the wine he got on our first trip to Kelowna, he found out how to set the table for a special dinner...and my boy...who's not a cook...embarked on his very first attempt at making an entire dinner and it was amazing! So delicious! After dinner, he made us tea and all the while a cd that he had made with all kinds of love songs was playing. I pulled his hand and we danced to a "Death Cab for Cutie" song..."I want you so much closer". Then he asked me if I wanted my anniversary gift. I opened it, and it was an ipod nano. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or disapointed...(I was sort of hoping for a ring)..so I began to open it...and I took the ipod out of the box...and on the back (as you can see in the picture) it says "will you marry me". I then had a million questions going through my head..."is he asking me? why isn't he saying anything..." amongst those questions...so I turned it over quickly and began pretending I was interested in what else was in the box. All the while I was thinking..."is this something they put on all these things?" "what a cruel joke...I hope they tell people they do this..." "is he asking me to marry him? If I say yes, and he's not asking...how uncomfortable that will be..." anyway...a million things went through my head...he then took the nano and said..."look, there's a cool mirror on the back" and turned the thing over so I could see the ingraving again. Again he didn't really say anything...so...I just started.... a moment of awkward silence...and then I finally could hold back no longer..."are you for real?" and he didn't say anything...so I repeated myself "are you for real?" and he then got down on his knee and asked me to be his wife. :)
How fun!
I'm excited to hear what everyone thinks! Gotta go to work!

Shara and Troy- CONGRATS!!!
I'm so happy for you both! Shara... I had a gut feeling after our conversation last week! Well, I'm looking forward to hearing all about the Wedding plans (and Michelle is right...you will make a beautiful Bride!) Congrats!
Oh, and Troy...I'm looking forward to meeting you- since I've heard so much about you...I know you must be amazing because I have NEVER seen Shara this happy before!
Love, Kassandra
CONGRADULATIONS!!! I'm so happy for you both! I promised you Shara that I wouldn't talk to you about you getting engaged anymore, so you wouldn't think about it all the time, or get too exited in advanced. I guess its all good now eh?! YYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!
You guys are awesome, I'm so exited for you, and pray that God will just continue to bless you as the plans are about to begin.
Love you guys,Pamela
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
