We’re Engaged!!!
So there on the bank of the Neva river in front of the old fortress overlooking the beautiful city of St. Petersburg Cam Gibbons asked Sonja Barrett to marry him. And she said YES!
The plans as set so far are to be married in Seattle, WA on January 20, 2007. With a celebration to follow sometime in February in Australia. Please stay tuned for more details and exciting adventures to come.
We would like to give a special thanks to our friends and family who have supported us while we’ve been here, and have continually lifted us in prayer and encouragement. You are so much a part of our lives even though we are thousands of miles away. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we go through the engagement time and beyond...
The ring... details by cam.
Ok, so for those of you, who want to know details about the ring, let me tell you buying the perfect ring in Russia is not the easiest thing. Particularly when you need to learn terminology. But anyways after searching 30 or so jewellery stores I found the one to match THE ONE! White Gold is not common here, neither are simple rings, the Russians seem to like lots of flare to their rings. This American girl does not. The Ring, I'd like to think reflects her, hard to find, not complicated but beautiful and functional. Most importantly stands out from the crowd.

Sonj and Cammie!
I am so excited for you!!! I can't wait to meet the awesome man that Sonja has chosen. Remember I will beat you up if you are mean to my best friend. Just kidding. Well, kind of kidding. But I am so very happy for you both and will continue counting down the days until you come home. Only 275 days until you get married!! You know what that means!!! (grin)

Congratulations Sonja and Cam! I'm so excited for you. I look forward to meeting Cam next January.
We all miss you! I just told Jami that every time I go to the Bon, I think, "Ooh, I should see if Sonja's working and get some coffee." Then I remember that you're in Russia, so I don't buy a coffee.
I can't wait to hear all your stories when you get home. My sister was in St. Petersburg in 2004 and loved it too. See you in July!
Love,
Vicky
PS I had to post this using Jami's blog sign on because I don't have a blog and your blog will only allow bloggers to comment.
