I didn't mention this when I talked about our little camping trip, because I thought this deserved its own thread :)
Last night as we watched the sun setting over the lake where we were camping. I had a little surprise for Dan..

I pulled that out of the pocket of my shirt.. and being the hopeless romantic that I am.. I got down on one knee and asked him.. I never thought I would have the courage to do it.. but I did.. I was so nervous, I almost dropped it as I waited for his answer.. I will never forget anything about what happened there..
The gentle orange-red light from the sun cast the last of its warmth down upon the area as it fell behind the mountains, we were motionless there for a long moment, before finally, he took my hand in his and pulled me to my feet, both of us nearly crying as he reached into his pocket and pulled out an identical ring... We slipped the rings onto eachother's fingers.. neither able to bring ourselves to end the silence..
After it started to get colder, we moved back to our tent.. and once inside, he was the first to find his voice.. I won't go into what was said.. Mostly because I don't think any of you want to hear it... and.. it was kindof private :oops:
