All good news, I promise

Hello again,

So, as Noah mentioned, the last few weeks have been exciting ones for Noah and I!

First of all, as Noah mentioned, we got a new apartment! There are pros and cons associated with this endeavour, however. Here are a few:

Pro: 2 times the space!
Con: 2 times the rent

Pro: Real BBQ on the deck!
Con: Having to pay for our own power

Pro: Tiny view of Cascade!
Con: Mostly a view of the bus parking ot

Pro: We have a fully furnished guest room and a wood burning fireplace!
Con: We traded our private forest backyard for a downtown locale

Yes... no where is perfect. But this place is close. There is so much space for us, and it's pet / piano friendly, so my two little monsters have finally made the move to Banff to live with Noah and I. We're in the works to get my upright piano moved out here, as well, but that's a bit harder to move than 2 20-pound dogs.

Also, as mentioned, we have a fully furnished guestroom, and we really hope that people feel free to use it. Vacationing in Banff is hard to do for some, but hopefully our having this lovely mini-hotel will help you make the right decision and COME SEE US!

Here are some pictures of the new place:

Next, the other big news: Noah proposed on the last day of July, and I said... sure. Apparently. I recall saying "Yes!", but it's all a bit of a blur. I guess Noah decided to do it after I left Ontario to come back to Alberta without him; he bought the ring (and picked it all by himself), and was waiting for the perfect moment, but having it hidden in the house was apparently a lot like the tell-tale heart in the room; everytime he looked at his underwear drawer, he was SURE i knew that he was up to something. So he invited me to hike up Tunnel Mountain after I finished work one day, and dropped to one knee (after scaring me into thinking that he was going yell at me; this was not the case). Attached is the picture after the big event happened!

Flashing the shinies!

That's about it for me for now. Everything is coming together right about now, and as we get closer to figuring more out about the planned nuptials, we'll DEFINITELY let you know!

Wow! my son the romantic. Excuse me but I'm a bit teary eyed right now. Happy and sad at the same time. Happy for both of you and sad cause I still think of him as my little boy and he is definitely all grown up. But I am really excited and I could not have asked for a better Bonnie (Borin). I like how that sounds.
love you both
mom/deb
p.s. I LOVE the apt. It's great. Planning on driving out just haven't figure out when. Ill let you know.
