Our Engagement in New Zealand

Lifes many blessings

This morning was like no other. Clinton and I layed in bed finding it difficult to get up. Clinton had lots more energy than I, so he swayed me out of bed with the promise of home fries and eggs. Smile. That did it! I got up and started getting ready. We were headed to the Matakana markets at 9am so we had to speed up the pace a bit. While I showered and got ready, Clinton was busy getting other things ready...i.e. the proposal. He rushed me to come take a few pictures before Nessa and Boopsie came to pick us up. I came into the living room and we did a little photoshoot :-) After a few shots, Clinton stated he was going to get in the pics with me. He set the camera on what I thought was timer but was really video. He came over to me, I stroke a pose with him, then he said he was going to check the camera but instead he went down on one knee and took out the ring and I started screaming... literally, I started jumping up and down, with tears of happiness in my eyes. I didn't even allow him to get all his words out. From what I remember, he said something like "you've made me the happiest I've ever been and I want to know if you would marry me (Clinton may want to amend this...lol)." I answered a resounding, "Of course, yes I love you (I got to watch the video again to make sure...but this is close enough!)."

He placed the most beautiful solitare on my finger. I'm living a wonderful dream. Thank you babes, you truly make me the happiest woman ever. We will continue making an amazing life together. Blessings are everywhere. 2010 is truly epic!!!!
