The Ring of Fire

Ok, so in the past week, I've learned how important a ring is when claiming one is 'engaged'... and I've learned it the hard way. A couple weeks ago, Megs and I decided to get married... super, grand, fantastic... crazy happy. And after I tell Mum and Dad, I decide to wait until talking to Megs' dad about it before spilling the beans to the rest of the family... Not a bad idea. Now what was a bad idea?... not getting the friggin' ring first!

Since sending the "Who's-That-with-Kody-Oh-My-Goodness-He's- Engaged-Video", as it will be hitherto known, all I have heard as reaction from relatives of both sides are questions like "So how did he propose?" or "Can you send a picture of the ring?" These questions only to be followed by others such as "So wait, are you really getting married?" and "Well what's taking him so long? You know you don't have to marry him until that ring is on your finger..."

I have not proposed. Correct. She does not have a ring yet. Double Correct. Not my fault... Triple Correct. Just to 'clear the air', we have picked out a ring, and I will be purchasing it very soon, and I will be proposing to Megs with it soon after... The ring has to be custom made, and they won't do it until I actually spend some cheese, hence the "we're-engaged-but-she-doesn't-have-a-ring-yet" situation that we find ourselves in. So in an effort to dispose of the nay-sayers and their squabblings... the temple is booked, the JSMB is reserved and I am officially spoken for.... mmm, feels good.

I Blog, therefore I Am

Memories... Experiences... Relationships... The essence of what this life really is. A very wise woman once said "You'll regret it if you don't write down the things that happen in your life. Mark my words, I'm always right." So Mother, in case you ever read this, You were right... again. Will this be a personal diary? No. My life isn't nearly interesting or eventful enough for that. Rather than keeping a record of my existence day-to-day, I'll share the essence of my life with you; the memories, experiences and relationships. Please share back... comments welcome. Game on.
