FH and I had been together for just over a year and the marriage subject cameup...it was always a joke wit hus and out friends, this summer at a good friends wedding (which was pretty much a high school reunion..fun!!!) everyone was saying that i was the next one and i just laughed it off becuase FH always said he didnt want me to be planning a wedding while doing my degree. This summer we decided to go to Mexico together since we had never been anywhere together. The first night there he proposed on our beach front balcony (he wanted to do it on the beach but it was raining and he didn twant the cleaning lady to steal my ring lol.) I have no idea. i was completely shocked since i still had one year left of university. But im very glad he did. I cant wait til the wedding.

I know i still haveover two hundred days..but in those two hundred days i have to finish my degree, move back home, start my new job, start CASB which is the course for a chartered accountant...and then get married between two modules in casb...am i crazy?

I am very excited to be writting my first blog.

i've been searching for glitter monogram cake toppers but they are all expensive for what you use them for. Anyone know where i can find nice font wood letters so that i can glitz them up myself. Somewhere in canada if possible.
