For the past 10 years since we've been together, we like to break away from the heat and take a camping trip near Flagstaff, AZ. We always go to the same location every year; it's like a tradition now. However, the 2020 trip was a bit different from the start -This was the first time we've invited both sides of our immediate family to join us, there was some car trouble, and the weather was warmer than previous years. Despite the differences, we still made the most of our weekend. When the trip came to an end and time for everyone to pack up, Adrian secretly made his way around the campsite and had everyone gather together for "an announcement". Clueless me... I thought they were coming over to say their goodbyes to one another. As Adrian and I stand slightly off to the side of the group, he stands behind me, hugging me, and starts to tell me how great the past 8 years of our lives have been together. I'm standing there, with a smile across my face, listening to his sweet words. Then he taps me on the shoulder to turn around and there he is kneeling down, ring in his hand, saying those 4 words I've always dreamed of him saying. Fighting back tears of joy, still in a state of shock, I was barely able to say "Yes!"
