Good news!

Lara and I got engaged on Monday, August 2nd! We attended a high end jewellery auction that day, found the perfect ring (a diamond solitaire that fit her precisely), then bid on and won it shortly thereafter. Everyone cheered and some congratulated us in person as it was pretty clear what was going on. We were so beside ourselves we almost forgot to hold up our bid card to "seal the deal". When the auction closed an hour later and we had the ring in our hands, I proposed properly. We've set a date this December for our wedding and we've already booked a truly amazing venue in downtown Vancouver in which the whole thing will take place.

My email/phone contacts are buried in moving boxes so some of my family (on my Dad's side) and friends still don't know. If you're one of these people, spread the word and expect an invite to Vancouver in December. If you can't make it here don't worry - there'll be a second reception in Toronto in January or February.

Lara and I are renting out our house in Toronto's Roncesvalles district. We're both moving to Vancouver (well, I'm already there) and we're looking for good, responsible tenants for both the main floor unit (unfurnished) and the top two floors (furnished).

This is a beautiful house and the prices are excellent (the landlords are pretty nice too!).

UPDATE: Both units have been rented! Thanks!
