The Day I Got Engaged!



Justin Proposed to me on Friday so I thought I'd share a the story with my blog ;)

It started out with Justin letting me in on the fact that the ring was on it's way but wouldn't be here until monday (the 20th). Yes, I knew it was going to happen and it was me that made him spill the beans on when it was coming (I can be extremely annoying and pester until I get what I want ;) )

Justin had me so convinced that it wasn't coming till monday that when He asked me if we could have a romantic day for celebrating on my day off from competitions, I said yes. Just to quickly explain this a little furthur in detail.. I was competing in Blue Mountain Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and was under the assumption that he was going to propose on Monday, and he was playing along. So his excuse (I guess you could call it an excuse) for having the romantic day was that we both worked on the monday so why not celebrate it a little early while we both have a day off?

So late Friday morning he came over and picked me up and off we went shopping, out to McDonalds for lunch, a quick stop for Justin to drop something off then back home so I could change and then we were off to Bracebridge where Justin told me he had made reservations at a really cool restaurant.
On the way we stopped and took some pictures at a neat dam in Bracebridge (yes we will be posting photo's from Friday soon!) and then we were off so we would be on time for dinner reservations.

The restaurant was a really neat Japanese place called Wabora. It was really really really cool though! The table we sat at was one where the chef cooks alll your food in front of you and does some neat tricks for entertainment! My favorite was where he juggled some eggs and one ended up in his hat! :)

After dinner Justin told me he knew of this cool lookout spot where we could take some sunset pictures!
Now just to clarify.. I was completely daft at what was going on the entire time, I didn't even clue in when he mentioned the lookout spot because it was normal for us to do that kind of thing. We did it all the time at Wasaga! Anywho, off we went and it was GORGEOUS! we had the entire place to ourselves and the most beautiful sunset! We were taking ton's of pictures and then at one point I said "Why don't we set up the tri-pod and grab a few of us?" He agreed and said "Hey can you hold this for a sec?" he handed me the camera and I was contemplating how to change some of the settings and looked over to ask him and there he was.. getting down on one knee :) I flipped out/spazzed out basically :) :P haha it was really romantic, all alone on a beautiful lookout point, gorgeous sunset behind us and my beloved getting down on one knee to propose.

At this point I'm still a little fuzzy on the details as it seems like such a blur now but it did take me a while to actually say yes since I was dancing around, hugging Justin and getting twirled around:) However, eventually Justin reminded me I needed to give an answer and of course I said yes!!!

I'M ENGAGED!
