This past sunday September 15th my boyfriend Chris proposed to me at a restaurant here in Calgary. Of course I said yes! I was going to go into detail about the proposal but then I thought nahh I'll leave that for people to ask me so I can tell them :)
Anyways life had more in plan for me to experience. Monday I went to practicum at Rockyview Hospital and I got to do a ton of things. My preceptors were AWESOME. One of the down sides of the day was I saw my first patient die. The lady was elderly, and they had been doing cpr for a long time before they were even able to get her to the hospital. It was rough, it made me think of my grandma. I was really thankful for the experience that I got to see it. I wanted to experience a code before I was going to be thrown into one and have to not loose it while trying to bag or get an airway. My preceptor talked to me after in a very informal way, we talked, shared stories and had a good walk outside in the sunshine. Overall I am so thankful for my experiences.
Back to the good stuff! So yes I am engaged!! It's still sinking in really, especially with the monday I had. The biggest question people are having is "ooo when is it!", of course everyone wants to know... so do I! lol But the thing is I'm in school for another two years (I write final final exams in 2015). I also have a lot of things in mind that I really want. Now wait, i'm not talking castle and swans and doves and things, but there are things I don't want to not get just because we want to have the wedding sooner and not have the money for it. I'd rather work for a little bit and have the wedding I (and of course Chris) want.
We have talked about bridal party and things but we are keeping most things hush until we finalize anything. I also want to ask my bridal party in a cool way (haven't decided yet). Also we haven't decided on final of how big we want the bridal party.
My biggest thing is can anyone give me a good estimate of a cost of a wedding in Saskatchewan? I would love an upper and lower limit. I don't even know what to guess at and that frustrating. I was looking at wedding planner type things online and on pinterest and holy wow is there a lot to plan. I know I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and I'm pretty sure between pausing GTA5 to txt me back Chris was feeling the same. But in our favor we have awesome families who I know will help us out with planning and opinions as well as we have time on our side. :)
Some photos I took with my good camera of my ring :)
