So I went out and bought a bikini today

I've come to the realization that I shall need one very soon. It all started yesturday afternoon when me and Matty went up to Milton,ON to go hiking on the niagara escarpment. We were just walking along enjoying the beauty of the recently fallen snow and the remains of an old stone wall that runs around the cliff when Matt asked me to read this list he'd made for me. I had been expecting this list all along because he has planned a trip to New Brunswick to work for a few weeks and I had been worried I would be really bored while he's gone. He told me to not look behind me cause he needed to go "pee" in the woods. Well anyway, I read the list and the closer I got to the bottom the more he was saying weird things about dresses and weddings and stuff.. and I just though he was being a loser. When I finally figured out that no man in the history of the universe could actually hold THAT much pee in his body I turned around.. and there was Matt, down on one knee. And that's how it happened. I'm engaged to be married sometime too soon to a very sexy man. So to explain the bikini.. we're hoping to get married in the Caymen Islands in March, sweet eh!? Other than that.. nothings new! I'm gonna leave yah all with a few pics of out post-engagement celebrations! Thanx for reading!!



My rock!
