Mornings with my Trainer.

I am so excited! This is the first trainer that I am working with in the morning and wow, what  a difference I feel already. My soul feels happyJ. I am just so stoked to be burning calories all day long. Usually I work out after work... but this might really work. I always get fit, but I would like to lose about 10 pounds for my “big day”.

This big day may be moved up to the summer now too! Jon and I have been thinking that it would be really nice to have a warm summer night to hang out, eat, drink and be merry.

It is not 100% yet, but it is something we are considering. I am looking forward to the family party. I can barely wait to get the Cooper’s and Ruff’s together for some fun.

My parents are in Texas at the moment – cruising around with a car they rented out of Phenoix. Jon’s parents are in Peru. My next vacation is off to T.O for Ingrid’s wedding and to visit all my family including my cousin’s new additions! I am so excited for some family time.

Anyway, just a quick update. All is well.

I am including a picture from Costa Rica that I like below. Jon has a big face in this one, but the clouds behind and the sun kissed look is my favourite.

Peaceout.

I got engaged!

It’s been too long – I hate that. Oh well, here is a quick update as work is terribly busy and I am squeezing this note.

I got engaged. That sounds so grown up I feel. And a little weird, but definitely a "great" weird! It is a different feeling though, for sure. I haven’t quite found the words to describe it quite yet, but we are so happy and in a bit of a bubble right now. It was a beautiful sunset when he proposed, one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen in my life. And of course it will coinside with one of the f the best moments in my life. He asked me to marry him on “big beach” at Salmon Beach and that in itself was perfect. The weekend before it, we surfed it at high tide and it was blistering cold and hailing. When I first went out in the water in I lost my breathe because of the cold. It was crazy. Anyway, 2011 could have not started anymore perfect. That morning Jon and I saw two wolves and he took that as a sign of companionship. The ring he bought me is so beautiful and it has a band where in connects in the middle but than two split apart. Jon says that he thought it was perfect as he thinks that we are bonded but that we also are independent. I said right away “Does this mean I get to fool around?”.

I think I am hilarious!

Cyn and I met ramdomly for a dinner out last night and I received a beautiful necklace from her. I emailed her this morning to thank her again, and she replied with exactly how I am feeling right now in her response...

"The necklace is your tree of life... and you are at a whole new chapter."

I am so lucky.
