Time to start planning!
We are at a hotel with free internet so now it's time for Kim's comments again! We are off to see the weekly market at Djenne tomorrow which is supposed to be quite the site! Since we are having such a great time in Africa (again), it's definitely time to start planning our next trip - it's never too soon! It's going to be a bit tricky this time as we will have to work around a wedding and a honeymoon. The next big international trip might have to wait until after that local party. So, since you'll all be attending the festivities...this is fair warning to keep your calendars clear! No idea on a date yet but yes, FINALLY for all of you who've been asking (nagging, pestering, suggesting, demanding or otherwise requesting) we are going to throw you all a big party and make it official! Grant chose Timbuktu as the place to ask me to marry him since it's a place of such mystery that most people don't believe it exists...and let's face it, most of you thought we'd never get married! We've called our parents so now the rest of the world can know! Wish we could have told you in person but the phone bills from Timbuktu are insane!!

Congratulations Kim and Grant!!!
I officially can't read your blog at work any more because of the people who think I'm crazy for crying at my computer but oh well.
Love you both!

This is such wonderful news! We are so excited for you both. I am so glad I was watching your blog - I would hate to have missed this news! It's going to be quite a party! Congratulations!!

So I log on to the Blog to get an update on the trip, and what do I find....WOW.
Congrats to my favorite holdout(s) - if you didn't ask her on this trip, I was going to ask her to marry me when she got back and move to Utah so I could have two wives....now that the pressure is off on the engagement, the pressure is on for Nancy and Carla to become Aunts! - not to mention Grandpapa Lou.
Guess Lou has to keep the Rolls for one more year.
Wishing you continued safe travels, now I will go and read what you have done since then

Man alive!!! Fantastic News...I can't even claim I found out on the blog...I found out during our meeting at Blackmont today from Bacsalmasi who had read the blog...man I feel so out of the loop. Great news! Does this mean Grant has to go on title in Canmore?

Can't wait to see you both very soon (especially you Dickie!!)
Love you both - continued safe travels.....

Please be advised that the official Jack and Jill party will be held in Benghazi, Libya on December 16th. Tickets are $4000 each (flight, shwarma and non-alcoholic Beck's included).
HURRAY! HURRAY!
Timbuktu, that's just vintage Grant.
LOVE IT, can't wait to see you guys in person!!
Woo Hoo!
I know I'm a little late to the party here - your email about the blog ended up in my junk email folder and I only just found it!
Congratulations to you both! Will Kim be getting an official Mrs. Clause costume this year?

Nadia and I finally got the chance to sit down and read your enteries inbetween hockey games, Christmas parties and kids' school concerts. CONGRATS! I guess the pressure finally got to you MacDaddy. Well done. I can't wait for the stag party (one for the record books I am sure)
