Engaged!

Eddie asked me to marry him on Friday July 14th on a walk around Wascana Lake. And of course I said yes! I am so excited! Our wedding is going to be on May 19th, 2007 in Prince Albert.


So by popular demand I added a picture of the ring--which I wasnt going to do because photos never do diamonds justice, unless you are shooting in a studio--Anyways, I complied.

Eddie picked it out himself, I never went ring shopping with him, and I absolutely love it.

For you ring buffs out there, it is a 0.51 carat round solitare in an 18 carat yellow gold setting. It is a lovely (tres sparkley) certified Canadian diamond (so no africans had to die for my engagement ring).

Pinic in the Park

Saturday was date day, yay! I saw Eddie for the first time since my birthday weekend. We had a pinic in the park and then went to Taming of the Shrew at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. Great day. We had so much fun. Isn't he wonderful? I think so.

Under His Wings

I had an interesting experience this past week... it involved having to explain to a preceptor why I did not want to go to Planned Parenthood, because I am pro-life. It was a tense few days leading up to the meeting, and I thank everyone who remembered me and my situation in prayer. It was fruitful prayer! I did not know how things would turn out before I went into the meeting, but God was faithful, as He always is. I was scared at first, but that fear was replaced with peace.

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.

Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

"Whether we admit it or not, there comes for everyone the moment when personal existence must be anchored to a truth recognized as final, a truth that confers a certidude no longer open to doubt." ~John Paul II

Let us cling to the Rock and to what we know to be True...

Canada Day in the Capital

I spent Canada Day in the Capital today! There is way too many things going on to see everything, but I did go to a free concert by the national orchestra at the national arts center, which was also a childrens choir concert. Awesome to hear the national anthem played by such musicians on Canada Day!



I then ventured downtown and to Parliament Hill...the entire downtown area is closed to vehicles and is a huge festival. There is a huge main stage infront of the Peace Tower where there was a live concert. I think there was at least 100 000 people when I left downtown!
