In October of 2024, we took a trip to Denver, Colorado, to enjoy some hiking, visit our first hot spring, and attend our very first concert at Red Rocks. On the morning of October 12, we watched the sunrise with coffee in hand and made our way to hike to Lake Isabelle. Little did Brielle know Alex had been carrying the ring in his hiking backpack the entire time. The hike was beautiful and we even saw a one antlered moose on our way back down. After the hike, we were starving and stopped at the first diner we saw to eat Mexican-Brielle's favorite! That evening, we headed to a mountain to relax in a private hot spring. Much needed after the hike from earlier that day. What Brielle didn't know was that Alex had briefly lost the ring just moments earlier! With no phone service and completely unaware, Brielle was told to check her phone (which, of course, had no signal). Confused, she looked down - and there was Remi (their late golden retriever), holding a treat shaped like a perfect ring. When she looked up, Alex was on one knee.
