So I'm already counting down! How fun! Troy & I will be married in 98 days. Last night was our engagement party. So many people came, it was so fun! We got lots of nice gifts...and Deb Wideman made us a beautiful cake! I want to savor the next 3 months...I imagine they will be filled with lots of fun & excitement! We have accomplished so much so far in the planning department. WE have the church/hall, minister (my grandpa), photographer (check out www.fotobistro.com), honeymoon, my dress, bridesmaids dresses, my flip flops (1 of 2 pairs of shoes I need), flower girl dress, hotel rooms blocked off for out of town guests, invitations stuffs ready to make invitations, party favor stuffs ready to make party favors...and the list goes on. What a fun process. I've of course never gotten to see how fun it was. I've only seen friends walking through this....but I never realized how much fun it is! :)
Besides this...not too much going on. Going to a friends for a b-day party tonight, that'll be really fun!
Anyway...drop me a line if you have a chance!

We're Engaged!!!!!!!
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!
