Yup It's Official
Raymond proposed on my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
Raymond and I met about 12 years ago, most likely! We're not sure how we met originally, since I have been friends with his cousins for almost 25 years. However, we think we met during a Youth Dance in Kenora on the Paddleboat! This time around we met up in Dauphin at Church. Raymond had a co-op ed work placement working in Riding Mountain National Park, and was living in the park and so he was going to Church in Dauphin, and that is where I go to Church, so we met up again there in May.
We would hang out a bit after church, and I went to the Park a few times to visit, and honestly I think we were both looking for a friend, and nothing really more. So this relationship kind of took us both by surprise. Father's day weekend, I invited him to come my Father's Day family beach picnic, just so he wasn't by himself all day. Little did I know that later that evening we would start going out.
Raymond's mom told us that she knew from the moment that she found out I was in Dauphin and Raymond was in Dauphin that something between us was going to happen!
Living in the crazy world I do, 9 days later, I packed up my car and drove off to New Brunswick for the summer. Thankfully Raymond was willing to wait for me to get back. :) And we continued to get to know each other over the summer!
As of this moment, we really don't have a lot of plans! We know we are getting married! We know we want to get married in Cardston at the Cardston Temple. And likely we'll get married in the summer or fall or at Christmas in 2010. Who knows! It'll happen when it happens! Until then we're enjoying the ride!
