sorry for the wait

Well, it has been quite a time since I last posted. There has been a lot happen in the last month. Jesse and I have sent a tentative date for our wedding, we've planned the engagement party and I'm trying to get my 21st invitations done. I met mum for lunch today and we ordered the cake for my 21st! I'm getting excited.

I have my outfit all ready for my 21st - it's spectacular, but I'm not telling you what I'm dressing up as!

I have so many thoughts in my head in regards to trying to plan things. I need to try and find a reception venue because we will need to book soon. Too bad Jesse won't sit down to discuss through these things with me.

Anyway, I need to sleep. I'm still getting over this stupid cold (a week now).

Just quickly

I just remembered what I was supposed to post in my blog the other night.

I've noticed that a lot of people have posted on my Facebook page and commented on things that 'finally' Jesse has proposed. I would like to correct people. Despite the fact that I may have been wanting this for a while, the timing is perfect. There is no 'finally', just 'perfect timing'. I am happy, and Jesse is happy, and we will build our lives together in our own time.

That is all, just a quick post :-)

What a week!

Well, it has been a while since I last posted, almost a week! And what a week it has been. I have been engaged now for 7 whole days. Between work and not sleeping because of stress and excitement it was a very exhausting week.

On Saturday I had a lovely lunch with a couple friends of Jesse and mine who are expecting their first child. They are very excited and we couldn't be happier for them, they will make wonderful parents. They were also very excited for us, and gave us a few tips in wedding planning and how to make decisions about the wedding. Afterwards Jesse went off somewhere with Collie and I met up with Sonja at her place and she took some pictures of my ring. We then went for a walk and when we came back sat and talked for a while. It was such a lovely talk. A few hours later she sent me some of the photos and they were amazing! (This is her website.)

Sunday Jesse and I went to church where the notice of our engagement had been put the bulliten, so of course there were many people who came to congradulate us after the service. For lunch Jesse and I along with Chris and Vicki went to my parents house where they started to ask us questions about having an engagement party, what kind of wedding, what date etc. The only things we decided on were the date for the engagement party and that we were not going to get married at the Loby Christmas Pageant. (Don't ask, that was a crazy story, thanks Mum.)

And now it is Monday night, one week after I was asked the most awaited and yet surprising question of my life. I am nervous, scared, anxious and above all excited about what is to come.
