Most of you know already, but some may not. I got engaged on Saturday!! I don't post many blogs, but I thought this postworthy, lol. It was also her birthday, (24th on the 24th) so it was a special day, we went to the Calgary Tower for lunch, very cool, i've never been there, loved the view. Then we walked over to the Devonian Gardens and walked around, it was packed in there, and I was nervous, and wanted to find a quiet place to pop the question. We found a secluded place, and she needed to rest so she sat down, it was perfect, a few people wandered by and i waited till they were gone, this is how it went. (we were also talking about Andy and Amy's reception there and saying how nice it was)

Clint: Ya, this would be a nice place to get married, eh?

Jody: yup, it sure would.

Clint: Probably a nice place to get engaged to?

Jody: Ya, you can definately bring me back here for that

(a few moments of silence as Clint ponders this)

Clint: Do I have to do the whole "get down on one knee" thing for you?

Jody: Of course you do!

Clint: Like this? (proceeds to get down on one knee and produce little purple box)

So now you have the play by play, Jody was very shocked, and very happy, afterwards we spent about 10 minutes texting and phoning everyone. Thanks to everyone who replied with congrats!

Valentine's Day!

I'm not sure how many of you listen to Vibe 98.5, I know I don't very often, i might flip to it now and then and if I hear them playing a song I like then I will keep it there. Anywho, Jody was listening to Vibe one day and overheard them advertising a give away of $98,000 for a dream wedding, I thought that was pretty neat so I checked it out on the website and checked out the details, and I thought "what the heck, I'll send in a letter". Now it said on the site to email in a letter expalining why you deserve to win, so I did that, send in a few pictures, and some contact info. I thought it was a good letter, so did everyone else who read it. They did the draw this morning at 7:15, and the couple that won entered into the draw yesterday morning just before the deadline and didn't acutally send in an email, they actually sent in a DVD with a puppet show and other stuff, kinda cheezy I thought, I guess they deserve it, they had a good story. It would have been nice to win. The big catch was you had to get married in 2 months, I hope they have a good time, it should be fun.

Jody and I talked about valentines day and figured we didn't like the hype and stuff, so we picked out our favorite chocolates and payed for each others, we bought the Chicken Little DVD and tonight we will have stirfry and then spend the evening with the jr. high youth, sounds like a fun filled valentines day to me.
