Returned from Alaska “The Last Frontier!”
Well I’ve returned from my trip to Alaska for the NABS conference. The conference went really well, went to some really interesting talks and some not so great ones. My poster presentation went really well once I got to use to it, alot of people liked it.
Alaska is so beautiful if you ever get a chance to go I highly recommend it. There are snow capped mountains all around Anchorage. The drive from Anchorage to Seward is just amazing one of the most scenic drives I’ve ever been on. I’ve done alot of travelling and believe Coldplay got it right in the song “Don’t Panic.”
” And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.”
I’ll write more about my sightseeing in Alaska once the conference was done after I give my huge news. I returned at 1am wednesday morning and went to bed after being awake for like 36 hours, because I can’t sleep on planes well.
The next morning Jake kept trying to wake me up, once I was semi- awake on the couch he presented me with a dozen long stem red roses. He then told me how much he had missed me and how he wanted to be with me forever and that he wanted to make a life with me and that it should start right now.
Jake then proceeded to get down on one knee and pulled my gorgeous ring out of his pocket and asked me to marry him!!!! I strated to cry, hug and kiss him!!! I eventually said “YES YES YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!” To which he replied “You finally said yes, I wasn’t sure for a minute.”
So Jake and I are ENGAGED and are going to be MARRIED next August. We are both really excited and happy, so are our families.
A very happy Olivia!!
