Engagement & American Season

I had a great time in Florida last week....

Me, Johnna and her family had a lots of fun on the beach, at Busch Gardens in Tampa, enjoying with the kids, swimming pool, playing guitar and piano and also fooooodd!! Other wise I would not have been in USA :-)

We got engaged on January 1st and...
We have been planning to get married in August 2011 in Chicago....

Here are some pictures of my trip, engagement, Johnna, I and her family! By the way, our engagement was in the American style...

Well, this is how Johnna has described our engagement to one of her friends by email :-)

...I was surprised because he arrived Dec 23rd and waited until 2:30a on New Year's Eve to propose! :) We went out to a really great steakhouse in town (Bern's if you are ever in Tampa!) and our reservation was at 11pm. We were seated just before midnight and then finished eating at about 2:15.

We drove a few blocks to Tampa Bay to walk along the water. All of a sudden, he started a beautiful speech about how much he's grown and changed since we've been dating... and before I knew it, he was down on one knee with my grandmother's ring in his hand, asking me to marry him. (As you know, he's Brazilian, so he did some research to find out what Americans do since in Brazil the traditions are different).

We have definitely begun celebrating! But he left for Barcelona on the 1st. We hope to get married in August. Right now we're just spreading the good news. Thanks for the congratulations!!....
