last night i got my wedding gift from james. i really had no idea what to expect but he told me it had the potential to make my entire week. um, and he was way more that right.
james proposed to me with a song he wrote and sang to me on a beach in fiji. so, last night he sat me down and put headphones on me and started the song which he had recorded for me - something i had been bugging him to do for the last 18 months.
but then, closer to the end of the song i can all of a sudden hear what sounds like waves an a beach. and then i could hear people talking - and i realized the voices i heard were his and mine.
he had secretly recorded the original proposal in fiji 18 months ago and had kept it a secret until last night.
my wedding present was getting to relive my wedding proposal again for the second time.
i don't think i've ever cried like that or been so moved by anything ever ever.
and i get the rest of my life with this man? goddamn - life is good!

beirut
saw this show last night with deedle and o.m.g. holyshit it was incredible.
we watched the tail end of a Rush documentary the other night and i said to jimmy "i know they're good, i know a TON of people who love them but, they just don't move me in any way".
beirut on the other hand, well... i was moved.
the summer concert series is going excellently. next up - nina's taking me to see journey. ooooh yes!

oh, hi!
i cannot even believe it's been so long since i have posted. i also cannot believe it's already august.
since it's august it makes sense actually that i haven't been around because our wedding is actually for real, just around the corner. this past 6 weeks has been a marathon of, well everything except running it would seem. it's been kind of unreal how quickly time is passing and how much there is left to do.
i have about a dozen DIY projects i assigned to myself after scouring wedding blogs for the past 18 months and was sure it wouldn't be too much work. thankfully i have the BEST mother and mother in law in the world and they have both jumped in with both feet to help. between them we have finished all of the sewing, the signs for the roads, bought and stored all of the booze (spending $1,100.00 at the LCBO is so fun!), got all of the mirrors and picture frames ready to go and i am sure 100 other things i cannot remember.
just a peek at what i've been working on...
this weekend is 3 things. it's the time to get the baking done - 280 cookies to be exact. the present for all guests is 2 of the cookies i made for jimmy on our first date. skor shortbread. he mentioned the first time we hung out that he liked it and boom - i pulled them out at the cumberland where we went to see 'control'. i think that's what hooked this guy for life.
it's secondly the weekend i need to copy all of my dad's cd's onto my itunes so i can finalize the play list for this par-tay. this is weighing on my mind quite heavily as there is nothing that sucks more than a shitty dance party. maybe i am over thinking this but i know i am going to hand pick every song we hear for about 7 hours. yikes.i blame my intense OCD on the need to make sure this is perfect.
and finally, this week is the week of my bachelorette! friday night i am slathering on the blue eye shadow, making my hair as big as i can possibly get and pulling on the acid wash leggings (ok, jeggings) i just purchased. oi.
busy busy time and my biggest regret is that i have been avoiding the track. i did get a good run in this past weekend but it was tough. i am going back at it tonight and going to keep it up. i can't wait!!
ok time to get back to work, oh yeah, that other thing i've been doing lately. ;) xo
