Well...as many of you already know...or have know about longer than me...I ended up with the present on Jeff's birthday...
picture it...(just for you Dad)...we had a lovely dinner, just the 2 of us for Jeff's birthday...we went to Melrose Cafe, where we had our first date almost 4 years ago...(looking back I dont know how I didnt catch on...I fell for it...everyone else knew...even Mom and Dad and Les and Jeffs family) and the dinner was great, of course...and Jeff's out of the blue says Will you marry me? WTF...I looked at him and said You didnt just do what I think you did? Did you? I just looked at him and started to giggle and he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ring??? OMG...this is not really happenning...Jeff looked at me and said Well, Im still waiting for an answer...of course I said yes...teehee...
We are on our way to a bar to go out with friends and see our friends band play...and Jeff says that I have to call Les and Mom cause they were waiting to hear the official news...(how could they keep a secret like that a secret...we totally suck at keeping secrets...right Les)...we get to the bar and I am getting lots of hugs about the belly...and then Jeff decides to re-introduce me to everyone as his fiancee!!!! Holy Cow!!! and then there are more hugs being passed around...It was a great night...the food, the band, the sober preggo driving the crazy drunks home...Jeff peeing on our friends tree...and I pull into the driveway to find another friend (from BC) car in the driveway...I guess they decided not to drive from Kelowna to Winnepeg in 1 go...who could blame them...
Its been a long and very chaotic day...and apparently there is WAY more chaos to come...I mean how many life altering events can a girl take at once??? first a baby...then a boy...then holidays...and now a wedding to plan... whoa...
I need a nap...

ps...I guess we dont have to decide what the babys last name will be...Klunky it is...***smiles***

Wow, I impressed myself with my secret keeping powers as well!
Hmm, I think I'd ask for a new house to add to your list of major life events, couldn't hurt to ask right?!?
I love Jonathan dearly already but oh my the video was a bit shocking. He actually looks like a baby, 4D seems a lot more lifelike than the standard ultrasound pics. Lucky boy!
at the price of housing lately...I dont think a new one is in the cards...just yet...wait until baby number 2 i think...
we are thinking of 2008 for the "big day"...Oct 11 (Mom and Dads and Nannie and Pappas J's anniversary...I figure someone has to "keep it going" and Les is already hitched) to be exact...its a Saturday...and I think the first year with Jonathan will be stressfull enough without adding the crazyness of a wedding...right Les...
Congrats Heather! Hope to see you, Jeff and baby Jonathan when I'm in Calgary in October'07. Think of you often!

Congrats on the engagement. I think an October wedding would be very nice. Looking forward to having everyone here soon.
Congratulations Heather .. wow that really is a lot of excitement for one year!
Congrats. With this much warning I can start planning a trip out west for the wedding. :~)
Wow, what a crazy year!You just don't stop, do you? I'm just going to nickname you Whirlwind. That's your new name.
Congrads guys!!! Lots to celebrate this year!!
and thats another reason for ALLLLL the notice...no one has any excuse on my side or Jeffs side not being able to make it...besides there is a big family reunion next summer in Turner Valley for Jeffs Moms side of the family...for some weird reason we said we would host and organize the next one...which was 2 years ago...they have it every 3 years on the Aug long weekend...so everyone should be able to save enough time off-spending money to come for a PAR-TAY!!!

Congrats to the happy couple. An October wedding sounds wonderful, all those beautiful fall colours to work with. You'll need to post a picture of the ring.
