An Engagment

*Read Fall Creek Hike first!*

We get to the top and he says:

"see wasn't it all worth it?"

I look around and say:

"yes"-however i am searching for a place to sit my ass down and take a break for a moment

With my back turned to him -spotting a giant log that looks like a good seat

I hear "Nicole!"

I turn around and ....

I turn around quickly to see him 

down on one knee in front of me 

with the ring in his hand!

I scream "STEVEN" and instantly cry!

As I look into his eyes,

He tells me he loves me and that he is lucky to have me.

(however i feel like the lucky one to have him)

He says "i know you have waited a long time for this

I just hope its been worth the wait"

(3.5 years and the purchase of our home is more that worth the wait for this man)

He tells me he wants to spend forever with me, he even used my whole name

(that will be the last time for that!)

*at this point i still haven't really looked at the ring i couldn't help but look at him*

I of course said "yes" between all the tears!

He truly is my best friend, my one and only.  I've never been so happy in my whole life.

even though he made me hike for an hour and a half for this it was completely romantic and more than i could have ever asked for.

Due to the fact that i had barley put any make up on and was red in the face and sweaty we didn't get any amazing pictures but we did get a few.

He did an amazing job picking out the ring.  its exactly what i have always dreamed of.  its simple but completely gorgeous! and i had no idea this was gonna happen! 

*good job surprising me baby!*

I would not change a thing about this day.  I normally don't give him enough credit when it come to planning things or being romantic.  he bus be getting soft in his old age!

i just want to thank all of our family and friends for all of their kind words with our announcement.

Now its time for the planning to begin!! 

Here are a few pictures of the ring i cannot stop looking at it
