Our home

We have only been in Ottawa a month but Dan and I have always liked sprucing up even our rentals to feel like home, here are a few pictures o the little touches we've done so far....

New home

We've moved! Ottawa is now our new home and we're thrilled about the life change. Here are some pictures of our new place.

ENGAGED!!!!

Dan prosposed to me on our 5 year anniversary, we went to our favorite restaurant "Aqua Terra" and had an amazing meal of lobster ravioli and steak, bottle of wine and amazing apptizers compliments of the chef. I kept asking Dan if he wanted his gift and he kept saying "no lets just wait a bit". So we ate our dinner slowly enjoying each others company while gazing out over the beautiful Kingston water front. Finally once our plates were cleared I couldn't wait anymore to give Dan his gift. I bought him a solid Titanium Citizens watch, that is waterproof has a chronograph and charges by light. He was so happy, he out it on grinning ear to ear. He then pulled out a black box from his pocket, got down on one knee and said "Christina you are so special to me, I love you, will you marry me?" I started crying and laughing all at the same time and grabbed him an hugged him and told him to get up get up get get up! He sits back down and says " you haven't said anything yet." I said "oh my god I didn't? Yes yes yes!!!" and we kissed and the waitress came over with champagne and offered us free desert which we declined as my stomach was in knots. We left the restaurant an Dan asked me if I wanted to show my ring off to Morganne. I said sure, we get to her house and walk in an there stands all of my friends waiting for us. They all yell out " CONGRATULATIONS!"
I cried again saying "you bunch of assholes! I can't believe this...is amazing I love you" Dan and I did the crowd pleasing kiss and then we partied! Best night of my life!

May 24 family camping trip

We had so much fun, I can't believe we haven't camped like this in so long. You are all so amazing and beautiful and we love you.

Cuba January 2012

We stayed in Varadero Cuba, in hotel Kawama. Our hotel was one of the older more run down places but it was just a place to sleep. The beaches were amazing, and the views spectacular. The food wasn't to my liking and I got sick several times but Dan had no issues. We rented a scooter for two days and went touring all over the peninsula and then way out in the boonies into farm land. It was really something. Enjoy the pictures...I have more to come.

Dans Birthday

I've been a bad blogger the last few months. My computer doesn't have a good photo program so it's difficult to edit and go through pictures to post. But enough of the excusees. Here are the long over due photos of Dan's 30th! We had a blast, I took him to a private party room at Fanatics sports lounge. Andre was able to come down to party which was awesome. All of our friends showed up as well as Dan's dad came to surprise him.
