Wedding 2011:The proposal

August 8, 2009 was the day I got engaged to my wonderful Adrian. I was almost seven months pregnant and we were at his Family Reunion. Adrian proposed to me on the dock after Chandler, he and I were finished fishing. He asked me how much I loved him, and me being the comedian I am told him that I wouldn't love him very much if he was planning on pushing me in the lake. He just had that glint of evil in his eye, I wasn't sure what he was planning, but I was not expecting him to propose.


Adrian on the beach where he proposed to me, he looks so much better without that neck brace.
After his proposal we told our friends and family.  I am sure it didn't come as much of a surprise to anyone.  Me, being almost seven months pregnant, having just bought a house together it seemed like the (il)logical next step.  Oh yeah and I told everyone that Adrian and I had picked out a ring.  It is a gorgeous ring!!!

The Ring, isn't it pretty??
After the big announcement came the questions.  "When is the wedding going to take place?"
"Where is the wedding going to be?"  "Who are you having in the wedding?"  "Have you set a date yet?"


Well with Adrian just heading back to work after recovering from his broken neck, and me being taken off work within in two months to have a baby, we weren't really ready to start planning a wedding.  We had ideas for tentative dates, but we never really sat down and talked about it.  Then Little Man was born and then it was Christmas and New Years and well time slipped away.  It didn't really slip away we were just busy living life in the moment not really thinking about what was coming up ahead.  Finally, the busy times settled down and we were able to discuss the wedding.


Now we have some of the questions answered for our wedding, we are (and when I say we I mean me) creating our honey do list for ticking off things to get done.  I will continue this story in another blog.  For now Little Man wants my attention and I am only too happy to give it to him!!!

Friday Favourites!! Friday Five Link Up

Image
I'm again linking up with the girls in DC, Mar, Courtney and Cynthia for the Friday Five.  I've been waiting all week to write this post and I'm so glad I get to talk about my Favourite things!! I'm going to talk about my new favourite things, things I've recently discovered and now use on a daily basis!!! 1) I've discovered some new make up palettes.  Make up and I have gone through many phases and faces in my life. For a time all I bought were the cover girl eye shadows, blushes and mascara.  Then I grew up and started experimenting with other drug store make up. I was a bit of a hoarder.  Then in the past 5 years I've moved from palettes of Make up to single colours that I would blend. I've used Mary Kay, Benefit, Arbonne and I've enjoyed them all.  But recently I've been wanting to buy a New palette of colours so I could change up my look, and I found two that I love!! I got the Sephora IT Palette for smokey eyes and Benefit Bright

40th Birthday Bucket List

I am turning 40 this year.  After turning 39, I struggled with turning 40, the thought would take my breathe away and I felt sick.  I don't even know why, it's so dumb, I rarely feel like I am 40, sometimes I think I am still only 25.  So it's strange that for at least six months, I was in a state of anxiety every time I thought about turning 40.  It probably had something to do with my depression and as I move out of that state, I am less encumbered by turning 40 and more willing to face it head on with a smile on my face. So I have come up with a list of things I am going to do in the 365 days that I am 40.  Some of them are things I should have done years ago, but I have neglected and some are brand new who would have thought I would want to do this items. 1. Get a Will. 2. Travel to Vancouver (this one I get to check off since I did this as my birthday trip with my mom) 3. Travel to Vegas 4. Travel to Mexico 5. Travel to New York City. 6. Travel to the East Coa
