He popped the question....

Well its official! P & I are engaged!! 

I am kinda shocked at how many people "FINALLY" or "IT'S ABOUT TIME". I didn't think we had been dragging our heels all that much. We officially started dating October 10, 2010 (after a quite a few hanging-outs and dates and pool games and bbm-flirting while he was away working) So as of Thursday January 12 2012, at about 10pm (he really did try to wait until Friday the 13th, my favourite day, but was too excited) We are officially together! 

I absolutely LOVE my ring. Its the ring I would dream about wearing for the rest of my life. I think P has the GREATEST taste ever (he did ask me to give him a detailed description of what I wanted)

So now starts the WEDDING PLANNING!!! So excited! 

I get to marry my best friend - This makes me SO happy !! 

Wedding date has been set for October 5th (this post is late because we had some back and forth of what day to get married due to the nature of P's job and not sure when the season is starting up)

Here is the ring up close

And now its on my finger!!!

So busy lately!

My life is SO hectic lately! So many things are changing and work has picked up x 1000 due to school being back in session - would you believe I did a quote for a hockey team today? YIKES! 


Ok first change - we are moving! (not that far tho don't worry) Just a couple blocks away. Our place now is fantastic but we have seemed to outgrow the more settled I become (that means the more I make it a home rather than a place all our crap sits in boxes under the stairs)  We have tried a few ways of rearranging and have finally just decided its not going to work. 

APARTMENT HUNTING IS STRESSFUL

Those of you who have more than just 2 people and 1 fish in your family, I don't know how you do it. My hat off to people who trek with children and pets in town to whole new cities or countries. 

But we found a new place and get our keys very soon so we can start hauling our stuff over. (Of course we got word that the place was ours the night before P went to a job - talk about down to the wire) 

Guess it looks like boxes will be my life for the next few weeks - that's ok. I am REALLY excited for this move. Its our first big time step together (P lived in our current place for about a year before we even started dating) 

Walking in the Coulees

This weekend we had NO plans! It was actually kind of a really nice break, to not be expected to be anywhere for anything. I slept in which was fantastic! Then P wanted to go for a walk. 


So we went to Pavan Park and went for a lovely walk in the trees where it was nice and cool. 


Had a wonderful walk together and just enjoyed each others company for the afternoon

Such a pretty day

Walking down the horse trail

Sexy pose or tired from walking ? Either way he's adorable

True Love <3 

Cardston Heritage Days

I had the greatest weekend!! 

Saturday morning got up pretty early and drove down to Cardston to meet up with the family (Thank you to the Boyson's who continually let us invade their front yard every year!) 

The parade this year was so much fun - Could be I also had a nephew to use as cover for getting all my favourite candy!!! YAAAY! He was so cute. He would have his hands completely full of candy and would look up at me with this adorable face completely overwhelmed with what to do with it all. Thankfully his mommy kept it all in her lap so we could go get more! 

Ran into a lot of people I haven't seen for a while - always a fun thing to see how much everyone has "grown up" teehee

Went to the Ranch Rodeo at the agridome - it was AWESOME!! I definitely should have remembered sunscreen (oops) but it was a riot sitting out in the beautiful sunshine watching some amazing cowboys!! 

Had Pizza's and Cream for dinner (Gunsmoke btw) P had never been there before and I was pleased to say he agreed it was GREAT food! <3 

Then back to the agridome for more rodeo. My dad thinks he's gonna get P to be a cowboy now. Hilarious. P's considering cowboy boots... and maybe a hat. Baby steps sweetheart. 

All in all it was a great day and I must say I had an absolute riot hanging out with my family!! Can't wait till next year!! 

Calgary Stampede!!

YEEEEHHHAAAWWW!!!! 

We got to go to the Calgary Stampede on July 8th. I was SO excited. I took P & B (neither of them had ever been!!) 

So they had to attend a BBQ for their job so I drove myself up (which was great as I rocked out to Nickelback the ENTIRE drive up!)  Then we met up in Okotoks and drove into the city. Neither of the boys had ever been on the C-train before. I think they were nervous but didn't want to tell me they didn't trust me to get them there safe. haha! 

BUT!!! We made it safe!! Got to the Stampede grounds and met up with a friend of mine and we went around playing all the games that we thought we could win. At one booth I paid the guy $5 to guess my age. He had to be within 2 years... and he guessed that I was 22!! HAHA So I got a green wormy guy!! YAY ME! 

Our winnings!! We cleaned up!

We went to the Coca Cola stage for the free concerts! First up was State of Shock and they were AWESOME. I kind of forgot about them for a couple years and I'm not really sure why. But they did really good - even tho it was raining. 

State of Shock - it was raining and SO cold but really fun!

The next band up was My Darkest Days and they were REALLY great. The sun even came out for a bit during their set which was kind of nice. Still was freaking cold (I was in a short skirt)  

My Darkest Days - after we got sound back!

Had a lot of fun! (I always do in Calgary, its one of my favourite places in the world) And I think the boys even had some fun too! 

<3 him 

CANADA DAY!!

What a wonderful Canada Day this year!! Started off with a run to Tim Hortons (how else can you start a celebration of our country?) Then me, P & B went to Henderson Lake for the celebration down there. I was actually pleasantly surprised of all the things they had available this year! Facepainting and shaved ice, pitas and cotton candy, live bands and bubble guns (P wanted one but we never did end up going to that booth) 

I just embrace my awkwardness... no point in fighting it
RED shirt for Canada Day! Soon to have red shoulders

he's so yummy.... *sigh*

really into the bagpipes   - mentioned he wanted to start a mosh pit

so happy he's home!!! 

We were there for a while and then I needed a break from the sun (as wonderfully nice as it was out, I still don't do all that well in the hot sunshine, usually need a bit of a shade break) So we all went for dinner at Boston Pizza and then went to the movie Tron in 3D - btw, pulls off the red cape SO much better than Superman! 

The fireworks at Henderson were AWESOME!! I really enjoyed them this year!! GREAT JOB LETHBRIDGE

Perfection

This Easter was absolutely perfect. I had such a wonderful day with my family and I was so happy that P was able to be part of us. He really is so wonderful. Love him a lot. 


Beautiful day in Southern Alberta - no real wind to speak of and gorgeous sun shining down and giving my cheeks a new batch of freckles!! 


So happy to be here
