Engagment July12, 2007

Cam proposed to me in the new house...the night before we took possession. He surprised me, because he arranged with the previous owners and the real estate guy to get in for a advanced showing. Was I surprised!
Just a little folding table with a dozen roses and champagne....
Of course the traditional kneeling ceremony
We got to head home that night and tell my parents who were in town visiting...

The ring...we designed it at Goldsmiths in Calgary

Cousin Landon comes to Calgary to visit

Well, cousin Landon came for his first visit since he was about 2yrs old....some of the older Bradshaw's generation spent some here in Calgary before I moved here, so history continues. Landon came for a 10km Canada Day run. He drove for two days to get here, stayed to days, and did an epic drive home to get his stuff out of storage....he made it.


Cam and Landon, catching up after seeing him last summer on our epic trip to the coast (through Kelowna).

The night before the race, Landon, Cam and I went out the Julio Bario's for a little fried beans and Mexican food to help Landon run his race the next day....
Our table wasn't clean, but we really enjoyed the food.

We had to stop by the best Ice cream in Town, "Licks" for a little bit of heaven.
Then on Canada we had Cam's parents over for a quick burger BBQ. Nothing like having the house in pack mode..Cam's mom Karen and me (Karen 2), pose for a quick photos....
Cousin Landon com es to Calgary
