THE ENGAGEMENT

Today, I would like to announce my engagement to the most wonderful guy in my life! Sacha promised to take me flying Sunday morning, but the weather wasn't good enough, at a vain last attempt we drove down the runway to check the ceilings... clouds were at 300ft, we need over 1000... we definitely weren't going to be flying.

"While we're here, can I get some pics of you on the airstrip?" he asked.

"Sacha! You made me get up early this morning, my hair isn't done, my makeup's not done, I look like I just woke up!" But he persisted, so I gave in as long as he promised not to put the pics on Facebook.

I got out of the car and met him on the other side of the car (the runway side) and waited while he got the camera out of the backseat. Except it wasn't the camera it was a RING!!! :) He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! And of course I said "yes!"

Then we took a few pix and dashed off to tell the world! We spent the evening gallavanting around town, visiting all my family and announcing our good news!!!

10 MONTHS!!!

Today was our 10 Month Anniversary! I can't believe we've been dating 10 months already, it seems like yesterday and forever all at the same time! It's hard to think of how different my life was last October. Busy with Awana, getting ready to teach the adult group on Sundays in November, the Beth Moore study had begun already I believe. I was so incredibly busy! I'm finding this year much more relaxed, even though Sacha might disagree, LOL! But even though I'm not as busy finding fulfillment in projects, I'm finding satisfaction and fulfillment in simply spending time alone with Sacha. Especially with him being gone ALL week, I crave the weekends worse than I did while going to school! It's been a HUGE change but I'm slowly accepting it :) and he's totally worth it! <3

He picked me up after work, and we went to our favorite restaurant! Think of the most classic romantic setting and yep that's us! Corner table by the window, sitting next to each other, holding hands as we stare into each other's eyes and tell each other how much we missed the other. A little flirting and footsie as we waited for our meal. Discussing future plans as well as the day to day stuff. Gosh, I love these special times together!

Thanksgiving

As most of you know, yesterday was Thanksgiving. Sunday was my family gathering, it was big and loud and filled with many good things to eat. Such as turkey, jello, mashed potatoes, salads, creamed corn, stuffing, ham, and many other delicious things. But dessert was the best, a pumpkin cheese cake and a sugary fruit salad, and of course pumpkin pie! I was so stuffed afterward even though I had promised myself some restraint. We were eating left overs for days after. It was nice that Grama came over twice to help us eat them :)

What Kind of Gift?

Hey everyone! Got the surprise of my life today! :)
Sach & I got our first wedding present! LOL! NO we are NOT engaged, but there was a student leaving from Harv's that bought us a gift and said we could think of it as a wedding gift. It's a beautiful bamboo wind chime; it sounds amazing!! Anyways, I just felt like sharing that tidbit. It made my day! :)
