I'm finally engaged!! It only took 5 years 3 months and 25 days to get a ring!! Haha not that I'm counting! The day Ryan proposed we had plans to go to Sundance. I didn't suspect a thing I thought it was just another date night. Ryan isn't very good at surprises, so the fact that this was a total surprise is really saying something. We got up the canyon and it was the perfect day. The weather was so nice and the fall colors were so pretty! We walked around a little bit, then we decided to take the ski lift up the mountain. We were one of the last people on and it was almost closing, so we barely made it. It was such a scenic ride up but at first I was just scared. I have a little fear of heights, and we didn't see the bar to put down in front of us on our seat. Ryan said maybe they didn't have a bar to put down!! So I was basically freaking out and the higher we went the worse I got. Then we saw that the people on the other side had a bar in front of them. We eventually figured it out, or I might be telling a different story! I finally calmed down and started to enjoy the view. I felt bad afterwards because I almost ruined the moment with me being so paranoid! We kept talking and then Ryan started saying some really sweet things about us and our future. I remember thinking wow he is really being nice today! LOL. He kept talking and I had no idea that he was proposing. Then I saw the ring!! I was in total shock, I kept thinking holy crap! In fact I think I said that over and over! I kinda fazed out a little bit and he kept talking and talking, saying all these sweet things. Then I started crying! I was totally lost in the moment, it was so perfect, he is so perfect, and my ring was just so pretty! Ryan said that he was so nervous all day long, and it was one of the longest days ever!!! It is so fun being engaged, it feels just so different. We have always talked about our future, but now it feels so real! I am really excited to take the next step and get married!! Even though planning a wedding is going to a difficult journey itself (especially with my mother). We haven't set a date yet, but we were thinking maybe spring or early summer of next year!
The fall colors were so pretty!
My wonderful Fiance!! Heehee
Look how high!! A lot higher then the one at Lagoon!
Don't we make a cute couple!!
My beautiful ring!! Yes I picked it out a couple months before!
I'm surprised he remebered the one I wanted!
Ryan has loved hunting for as long as I've known him, but I think his obsession has gotten worse over the years especially with him working at Cablelas. This year Ryan wanted to try something new and he put in for the archery hunt. Since the season started he has been obsessed! That's all he will talk about, he comes home and tells me all these stories and uses his fancy hunting lingo. And most the time I have no idea what he is talking about, but I try to be supportive (to some extent). I know he loves it a lot because he wakes up at 4 am on his days off to go! He has bought all this fancy equipment, and shoots arrows in my backyard all the time. He has even got my brother obsessed, they go together all the time. Then they will come home and be so excited that they even saw a deer. You really can't be around the two of them when they get started talking about it. Ryan recently had a incident where Ryan and Cody went hunting up the canyon. My brother wasn't being to safe and left his arrow on his bow and Ryan ran into the arrow and it punctured his leg pretty deep. He had to go to the hospital and was walking around on crutches for days. And the only thing he was upset about was that he couldn't go hunting for a week! He was counting down the days to go again. He hasn't shot a deer yet, and he's been really upset about it, but I know he has a good time anyway. Now that the archery season is almost over he's already talking about duck hunting!
