Life Update/Current Favourites

Hey Everyone! Life has been crazy for me these past few weeks. I'm having a great time but I've really been neglecting my blog, which is unfortunate. I thought I would share with you some of the things that have been going on recently and some of my current favourites!

Midterms

I've had several midterms and tests these past few weeks. Tomorrow is my last one and I'm so excited for this phase of the semester to be over. Other than that this semester is going very well. I am doing a lot better at managing my stress and I've made more friends in my program!

Wedding Planning

Oh yes, I've started planning. I'm so excited. But at the same time I find myself over stressing when I think of how much there is to do! Overall though I am one happy engaged lady.

Here we go!

On Saturday, October 19th, 2013 Andrew asked me to marry him! And, of course, I said YES!!

I'M ENGAGED GUYS!!!

And I would like to share with you how it happened.

So on Saturday Andrew came to my house and brought me red flowers. Now, I know what you might be thinking, "Sarah, why does it matter that they were red flowers?"

Red flowers are a symbol of love and passion. Andrew has never gotten me red flowers before, he was specifically saving them for the day he was going to propose. (isn't he just the sweetest?)

I put the flowers in a vase and then we were on our way. He had told me we were going to the Christian bookstore in Hanover, which is my favourite Christian bookstore and it is right by the camp where Andrew and I met.

We began the just over an hour drive up to Hanover and talked and drank tea. It was lovely.

Then he missed the first turn to Hanover, and the next one, and the next one.

I started getting a little suspicious.

He took the turn into camp and I was almost certain I knew what he was doing. I was so excited. We parked just outside of camp and went for a walk. To the Air Rifelry range.

Now in case you don't know the air rifelry range is the spot where we officially met for the first time.

He then got down on one knee, said some very sweet things (which I wish I could remember!) and asked me to marry him!

I said Yes!

I am so incredibly excited!

I'm going to be a Mrs!

Why Fall is The Best

Out of all the seasons, fall is by far my favourite. All the other seasons have their benefits but for me, fall has the most benefits of all. Here are some of the reasons why I like fall so much:

The Weather

Not too hot, Not too cold. Perfect weather for jeans and a sweater. Perfect for walks at night and I can study outside.

The Food

Thanksgiving was this past weekend for me. I like seeing my family and I enjoy all the food that is involved. especially desert.

Picture Opprotunities

I love taking photos and fall has the perfect backdrop for outdoor photos.

Fairs

I love going to fairs. Eating good food, going on rides, demolition derbys. So much fun and excitement.

The Smell

I love the smell of fall. From leaves, to turkey, to hot apple pie. 

Football

My brother is playing football right now in highschool. I love watching his games. 

What are your favourite things about fall? Do you have a favourite season?
