Wow, yesterday was so great! I don't even know where to begin!
Well i did get up and do some yoga and looked at wedding reception places which I think I found the one! Heritage Gardens is so pretty! Just 11 more weeks and I'll be there with Andrew!
Anyway earlier this week Andrew had asked if i wanted to go hike Lake Blanch since in the past he has never been able to get to the top because he hikes with people who are lame and burn out before the top. So i agreed! I did have an inclination that maybe he would propose, but it's not sentimental to us and he told me he hadn't gotten the ring and judging by his work schedule he really didn't have time to get it.
So right after work for him we drove up there and started hiking up. Now just to let you know it was super muddy but not hard to hike, until you got to the snow. It got so deep that there was a point that my leg went through and my leg went all the way in. LOL needless to say it was a little treacherous. But we did make a chicken friend.
Andrew had beat me to the top and I was still trucking behind panting and trying not to slip to my death.
Well i got to the lake and it was frozen but still gorgeous with all the snow there. He was standing up on top of the wall and I just walked over and sat down on it. I was beat.
He asked me to stand up on the wall with him. I thought maybe he just wanted me to enjoy the view too because he makes me do silly things like this a lot. So we just stood there for a bit then i saw out of the corner of my eye that he had knelt down. For a second i thought he was just joking because he said he would a few times. So i looked down at him but then he pulled out a box. I was shocked!
"Natalie. Will you marry me?" he asked.
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course YES!" I squealed. He just knelt there with the box and smiled.
"This is yours now," Andrew said. He took out the ring and proceeded to put it on my right hand.
"What're you doing?" I asked.
"Putting the ring on your hand."
"Haha this isn't my left hand sweetie."
"Oh well it's my left." He laughed.
Oh it was wonderful took some pictures and hiked back down. It was snowing while we were walking down, but not the annoying kind, just the kind that is pretty and doesn't stick to the ground. We were both so happy and giddy! We celebrated with Training Table and some Mystery Science Theater 3000, and we were so tuckered out we both fell asleep within minutes.
Anyway it was an awesome day! This was definitely blog worthy! The only downside to the day was i left my digital camera at the top! I was so excited that i left it on the wall and now it's snowing like crazy up there! I put up a notice at the trail head so hopefully someone might see it, but i think i might get fined if i keep it up there so... later today i'm going back to get it.
