The Engagement Story
December 28th, Dave and I were in Colorado Springs starting to wrap up our Christmas vacation visiting my family. We reserved this day to have to ourselves with the original plan of cruising around town to get a feel for where we might want to live someday. But to start the day Dave wanted to go over to Garden of the Gods and walk around for a bit.
Garden of the Gods is a beautiful, scenic park of red rock formations with a gorgeous mountain backdrop. Dave and I seem to always find ourselves there at least once when we visit. I kind of had a hunch at what he was up to, but didn’t know for sure. So, I was trying to not let myself get too excited if it didn’t happen.
We got out of the car and climbed around on the rocks a bit. And just when we were out of earshot from other people, Dave turned to me, got down on one knee, and proposed. It was beautiful!! Obviously, you know how I answered him. :)
After I freaked out and tried the ring on and everything, Dave and I had a relaxing hour and a half just sitting and talking. Some people go for big, extravagant engagements with family and photographers. Not me. I loved having our alone time. It was so perfect.
