It has been extremely busy over the last week. To start off last Saturday, June 14, Andrew and I drove to Tobermory where we rented a boat, and amongst the beautiful escarpment shores he proposed…and I said YES! I must say that I have never cried, laughed, and smiled at the same time. It was wonderful and I still giggle when I look down on my hand at the sight of the beautiful ring he got me. When we got home the next day, we were met by my family who all knew about the news; because I called my mom right after it happened from the boat. The week was also very eventful between telling everyone of the news at work and announcing it to Andrews’s family on Wednesday. His immediate family knew of the engagement, but not his aunts/uncles and cousins. I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for the amount of attention engagement can generate… I’m not too big in having attention around me, so this was somewhat making me nervous, but I survived. Here are some photos from our engagement day.
On another note, this weekend Andrew is moving to Saskatoon to start his new job. We are driving up there with all his belongings this weekend. It’s a 3000km drive and we are planning to do it in three days. I’m excited to see the northern Ontario again, and to see the shores of Lake Superior, but I am sad because that means that we have to separate for some time. I’m planning to come back home July 1st, so this gives me some time away from work which is much needed. I will post after I come back.
