The Engagement

So, most of you facebook users have already heard our big news.... wait forit.... we are engaged!!!

Yes, Darl proposed a few days ago and we have never been happier! (or more excited to get home!)

It was a perfect evening... Darl and I had just woke up from a long nap in our cosy cabin with a fireplace in the cool Usambara Mountains in Lushoto, TZ. He was holding the ring so tight in his hand that his palms were sweating and he told me he had something to give me. After some coaxing and him telling me he was nervous, he handed it over and asked me to marry him!!

The ring is gourgeous!! It is made of tanzanite, a blue gem that is mined here in Tanzania so I will always have a piece of Africa!

After we told the guesthouse owners theybought us drinks in their cute bar and made us listen to leanord cohen.

Good times!!
