We worked at the same restaurant, after a couple weeks of talking he asked me on a date and it took off from there. We were dating almost 3 years and we went camping and had told me it I caught a turtle he would marry me, but I never caught the turtle. Another year went by and we went camping again summer of 2019, yet again he told me if I caught a turtle he would marry me, both times only joking. I chased and chased them but could never catch one, it was our last day there and he had already planned on proposing that day. But early in the morning I woke up to watch the sunrise and was talking to my amazing mother in law when she turned around and was like "What is that? Is that a turtle?!" Sure enough it was, I have never ran so fast in my life to catch it, I picked it right up and was waking everyone up so they could see I had got me a turtle! Austin was so surprised and realized right then that was his sign. We spent all day hanging out and closer to sunset we went on a family walk which we had done the year before, so I figured it was normal. We went to this cliff that overlooked the whole lake it was gorgeous! He was standing there holding me talking about how pretty it was and started talking about me. He backed up and at first i thought he was just moving to look and turned around to see him down on one knee asking to marry him! That was one of the best days of my life!
