Saying Yes

This is my first blog post of 2014, and I think it's because of all the changes in my life. Tom landed in Calgary on the 20th of December and it is like we've been running ever since. He'd already done the tourist thing last time, and the meeting of the family, so this was a bit more relaxing. Things got a bit interesting as Christmas crept up on us. We went with my Dad, stepmom, brothers (and brothers girlfriend) and aunt and uncle up to Canmore for some mountain time. We had scheduled a sleigh ride for Christmas Day (something we have done quite a few times now). Tracey broke the news to me that they would only let 7 people on the sleigh at a time (wink wink), so they had decided Tom and I should go alone. Little romanic interlude if you will. Like most girls in this situation I thought to myself "this would be a perfect time for him to propose but if he doesn't don't be disappointed." He was quiet the entire sleigh ride (which doesn't happen for him much), and I wasn't sure what was up. They took use to a special clearing and told us to get out and take pictures. I was staring at the pretty mountain, not paying attention, when suddenly:

It was cold, so I commend him for getting on one knee in the snow. Of course I said yes! I don't remember much more, other than champagne toasts as we got back to the fire to meet the rest of the family. Then the phone calls to make sure everyone knew our news. It was pretty magical, and I'm quite proud of my guy for the thought he put into it. It was a very wonderful way to end off 2013!

Now comes wedding planning madness...
