That''s right... you''ve read the title ladies & gents.
The now former #3 on the list...is no more!
We are engaged!
It happened yesterday (Saturday). We had planned a weekend at Banff, Canada. We rented this AMAZING hotel/room where we had a fireplace, a loft bedroom, a deck, and our own kitchen...it was just perfect (the weekend as a whole).
It happened as we were going up the Gondola(ski lift? that is designed to allow you to see the mountains/view). It was him and I in our cart - and he asked me!
!!!
YAY!
As for the ring, long story short, he had it ordered/made and some of it was customized and so, it was supposed to be ready for Friday- but when it came in on Friday, it had not been sized yet!!! :O
So, when the guy called D, he asked what to do- should he re-send it on a rush so it could get done for Monday, or did D want to come pick it up and then bring it back Monday to have it sized for later in the week. Well D chose to have it sent back then- knowing that he could explain this to me, WITH the idea of getting the ring back sooner (and on my birthday no less!)
So, tomorrow I should have my ring! What did he do? He picked up a ring at Banff (a silver moonstone ring- just so we could use it as a "memento")... anyways it was perfect!
We took a picture right after- and at the Gondola''s gift shop, we bought a tacky frame (porcelaine that has a gondola and "Banff Gondola" written on it...) I loved the idea of having that picture framed in something like that!
And we got a mini snow globe with a gondola cart in it - since I am going to be collecting snow globes, couldn''t be any more perfect!!
It was great... we live 3000 miles from our friends/family - so we called my family/his family and then sent txt''s to the closer friends we wanted to find out FIRST before all the words got around! So, this week- I basically have to call everyone with the story! haha.
In any case, me now being engaged means that the majority of the ladies are going to move up a number (whether you think that''s a good thing or not, I wish you ALL the best of luck)!
I was on the list for 2 years- so trust me when I say I "feel your stress"- because being on the LIST doesn''t mean that''s when my waiting started!
You''ll get some pictures asap!
As for the wedding, we''re thinking MAYBE next summer- if not the one after.. but I''m hoping for next summer.. its just we''re so far from where it''ll be.. we''ll have to see!
