Man oh man I could use some now! I'm loving planning my wedding but wow it takes a lot out of me at times. I'm trying to make sure I can get things done know so that I don't stress my self out to much when its mere weeks away. I love each moment that I get to cross something off my to-do list! I don't think I could do it without my wonderful Bestie Sarah though<3>

Oops!

So we just found out that the location we wanted is already booked for that day so we've gone with our second choice, which is actually bigger the main difference is our first choice was more secluded. Oh well! Just as pretty! You'll have to excuse the poor quality and lack of photo's. I didn't take as many because I didn't think we were using this shelter! Hopefully i'll get some better shots later!

Wedding Location!

I'm fairly certain we've made our decision on where Justin and I shall be wed, now all we have to do is book the shelter and figure out money/costs. You'll have to excuse the quality of the photo's. I was snapping them in a hurry and didn't take time to get the right settings.

It was a beautiful morning to get to check the place out though. My daddy came with the two of us and showed us the place he thought would work best. It's a gorgeous shelter. We're thinking of hanging icicle lights in the rafters for extra light and we'll move all the picnic tables outside and rent some chairs! AHH I'm so excited!

holy macaroni batman!!

Time for an update! So things have been really crazy! Let's start off with two days after I got engaged. So two days later I was still competing in Blue Mountain and I was in the middle of doing the Lyrical Group dance on stage when I suddenly fell. I managed to sprain my ankle bad enough that a trip to the E.R. was mandatory.

So that was then.. I'm still unable to do a lot of heavy jumps but I've been doing a lot better. I got off the crutches as soon as I could however I wear my brace faithfully every day. The only problem is I don't have many options when it comes to cute shoes because my brace would stretch them out.

Unfortunately around the same time I sprained my ankle, my grandfather (Poppy) ended up in the hospital with a severe staff infection and now has Congestive Heart Failure. Right now his status is end-of-life and going day-by-day.

Now I love my grandfather dearly and it would mean a lot to me to see him at my wedding. I also know it would mean a lot to him because I want to keep the ceremony/vows as the traditional Anglican vows(My Poppy use to be an Anglican minister). So because of all this Justin and I were talking about pushing our wedding date up from April of next year to this September. However we decided we would leave the decision up to my Granny.

When we went to visit her the other day we pulled her out into the living room of my aunt and uncles house (They live in a "Grandparent Suite" inside their house) and talked to her about it and told her we wanted her opinion and counsel. She blew us away by saying that, yes she thought it was a good idea. So we now have four months to pull everything together! It's going to be crazy! However if my parents can do it in two months I think we can do it in four!

So that's my exciting news! oh, and the fact that I graduated two months early is pretty exciting ;)

God Bless

I know this isn't an update.. it's pretty lame but with everything going on right now I just haven't the time to sit down and write. Soon I shall write out a long rant/explanation but right now I just want to sleep and dream that my Fiance is beside me cuddling with me. So goodnight and God Bless.

P.s. I dedicate this photo to my Poppy (My Grandfather)

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!
