All week Si has been away in Thames on brat camp (well, diabetes camp to him) so after announcing our engagement I've not even had the chance to really see him. I therefore decided it was a good idea to arrange an engagement party for the 2 of us with a few friends on Friday night. Was a really nice evening with a fairly decent turnout. Even Gem, James and Bea made it down from Auckland for the weekend.
Saturday we got up relatively early so we could head up to Auckland to check out engagement rings. Went with Gem and Si to a few places and then the last place was a lovely designer with his own studio that drew out a few ideas for us. Was really exciting and nice to see my ideas take shape. After that we celebrated with a few glasses of champagne in a lovely local bar before heading back to Gem's place for dinner.
Sunday we were meant to go canyoning to Thames but since a torrential storm hit overnight it was all called off. Instead we went to the cinema and then to the climbing walll before heading back to Hamilton on Sunday evening.
