I'm Engaged!!!

For any of you who know me, this was a long time coming. Jake and I had been together for six years on Saturday, and that is when he popped the question. Since we have been together for so long, we had decided that we would switch off and on for anniversary planning, and this year was my year. Needless to say, I was unable to come up with anything due to my busy schedule, and lack of money. So we decided on Saturday that we were just going to relax, maybe go hiking, grab some lunch and then have a nice dinner together. 

So we hiked to this spot which is called Split Rock (picture above) on Granddad's Bluff. This is where he was going to ask me...but then there came a bunch of college students who were loud, annoying, and cracking open beers. Not the most romantic place. So me, not knowing what was going on, suggested that we go to another place on the bluff. So we drove up the bluff to a scenic overlook that we had gone to many times to look at the stars. We were just standing there looking at the beautiful view, enjoying the peacefulness of it all, when I turned to look at him and he was down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. 

I was shaking for probably an hour (literally) after he asked me. This is the picture we took of ourselves right afterward. All I know is July 2010...here we come!
