I never really update this thing....but today i'm excited.
Tonight is our engagement dinner.
did i mention i'm very excited. I never wanted a big celebration or wedding, but now that i've found the right person, I want everyone to know. I want a huge wedding with tons of people and lots of partying. Though, I don't want to stand in front of everyone to say our vows or really have that much attention on me (although i'm sure people would be looking at how gorgeous bridget is). The whole idea of that many people at the same time is really embarassing.
So far the plan is to have a wedding in canada. but, we change our minds every 5 minutes about where to live, what do to, where to travel, so i'm sure the plan will change again. Realistically, i couldn't imagine spending $30,000 in a single day. Really i just want my close friends and family at some sort of celebration and then maybe a bigger party in the evening, not even a dinner...just a party. but to plan something like that we would need to be in canada. so we've been talking about moving back for 6 months at some point. but again with the mind changing thing.
on a separate note, i've really enjoyed my time here in canada. we leave tomorrow and i'm not sure i'm ready. i love new zealand and i have a good job and some good friends, so i'm sure I will be just fine when i get back there. but for the first time in my life, i've started to realise just how important my family is to me. i always thought they were, but haven't really ever made the effort to have them involved in my life on a daily basis since i moved away for university. i'm going to miss them.
also my friends...i've always made time for my friends. but its interesting to see how friendships change over the years. those that you thought would always be there and those that you thought would just be aquaintances sometimes change places.
I have so much more to write, but its lunch time with bridget & nat.
