Not long after we met, we realized we had the same birthday (Ian being a year older, of course). With Leanna working in Idaho this summer, Missoula was a good middle point for us to meet for our birthday weekend. Ian planned several special things for our birthday. We started by going to a late breakfast at our favorite place (discovered in a previous Missoula trip). Sometime in the afternoon, we drove to a local park and began our walk towards the university where Ian had something planned. We walked around, enjoying the crisp fall day and the beautiful campus. After a while, Ian stopped us in the middle of the grounds. After stalling a few minutes with some cute banter, Ian got down on one knee and proposed. As we sealed it with a kiss, the chapel bell rang (which Ian surprisingly had planned, hence the stalling). We ended our special day with a steak dinner and went trap shooting the next day.
