umm...... soo......heheheh
hey my lovely family! So, um, funny story... Jenny my love I don't want to steal your thunder, but I guess something was in the air last night because October 4, 2008 at about 7pm Lewis and I got engaged as well!!!! YEP, you heard me, we're getting hitched :D
So, here's the story because I'm sure you're all dying to know.... :) Lewis asked me to come over on Saturday because he told me wanted to make me dessert (he's a smart one, knows how to get to my heart I suppose haha). The power ended up going out and he had to finish baking the chocolate pudding cake on the BBQ (kind of besides the point but it was super funny)... We brought the cake down to the beach beside Qwanoes where we had our first kiss and he had organized Sheri and Michelle to help him set things up for us... they set up like a hundred tea light candles (which had blown out by the time we got there, it was pretty windy :)) and had his guitar sitting there as well as a dozen roses... he handed me the scrapbook that he has been adding to since Christmas, complete with beautiful photos of us and the lyrics to the song which he wrote and proceeded to sing to me... had me follow along in the book, and then when he finished the song he got down on one knee beside me and asked me to be his wife!!! On Wednesday, he snuck over to Saltspring to ask for my parents blessing while I was working late and swore them to secrecy (his parents also knew, everyone kept the secret really well though) :D Soooo, hahaha, we're thinking May, maybe at the beginning of the month but possibly more towards the end so that all of our friends (including you guys) who are going to school are more likely to be able to make it :) :) :)
Oh my word... I cannot believe Jennybaby that we got engaged on the same night at the same time in the evening and are planning on having our weddings within a month of each other... soooo crazy!!! hahahah, well I love you guys and I really really hope that I can chat with the majority of you on the phone soon, very soon!!!
Signing off,
The future Mrs. Jones
