For all those of you not at the farewell lunch for D and I yesterday:
I (we) are engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D. and I had a lovely day on saturday- had breakfast in the morning at Hudsons, then went to see "Good Night, and Good Luck" in the afternoon, which was fantastic. Afterwards we hiked to my old spot on Mt. Ainslie to have a picnic and say goodbye to the place. When we were finished, D. told me he wanted to tell me something, and, at the very end of anabsolutely wonderful speech that would have fit in well with Jane Austen, got down on one knee and proposed.
So yes, this is my very satisfying update!
Lunch on Sunday was lovely, with extremely wonderful people and lots of good food. It was nice to have something of a final farewell, although we still have a few of those left to go anyway. We chilled out all afternoon and evening and are now into the last countdown- as of today we have 5 days left in Canberra.
YAYYYYYY!
