I'm being told that I should blog since it's been a while since the last one. I don't really know why, nothing really exciting has happened since I last blogged two weeks ago. Well, I suppose Dan came up last weekend, that was fun. We spent time at home and on Saturday spent a couple of hours at the mall looking at a few pretty expensive items. This is what we bought.

Yep, I'm engaged! Can you believe it! It's about time I suppose but now I actually get to start planning my wedding. Our desired date is July 7th, 2007. I'm pretty excited.

Everyone keeps asking how he proposed so I'll write it here to save more explanation! We bought the ring and came home, put some groceries away and went for a walk on the paths near the mosquito ridden green belt (little forest right by my house). After several dozen mosquito bites we sat on the grass in the shade and he came around behind me kissing me and rubbing my shoulders and he whispers the question in my ear. I had to tell him to get down on one knee and ask where the ring is so he kind of awkwardly goes to one knee and pulls the ring out of it's case in his pocket and asks again. As I say yes he's slipping it on my finger. When we began walking back I was grinning and giving him a hard time about not doing it right and not saying my name or looking me in the eye so he stopped, tenderly held my face in his hands and looked me in the eye and said "Heather, I love you more than anything else on earth, I want to be with you forever, will you marry me?" Of course I said "yes". He's wonderful and treats me so well and I love him so much, there's no way I'm passing him up!

So the end result is, of course, I'm engaged!

Though the wedding isn't until next summer I'm pretty excited about it. We've had the date picked out for a while now and it was intended to be after I graduate but because of this 8 month work term in Fort McMurray it will end up being while I'm in school though I can be done by December if not before that. We even have an offer for a reasonably nice apartment too for beginning of May as we know someone who will be giving theirs up and have lived there all through their schooling. So we know it's affordable and I've been there before and at least it's a start... Anyway, I guess I should get going on with my day. Bye!
