We're Getting Married!

Austin and I met through a group of mutual friends. I got invited to a get together at Austin's house and of course I had to introduce myself. I saw him enter the garage and he was smiling amongst a group of buddies. His smile caught my eye right away. We did not talk too much, I was a little shy. Anyone who knows me knows that is not a common personality trait of mine. After I left and went home I still could not forget his smile! We finally exchanged numbers and after talking for a while, he asked me out on a date. I, of course, said yes. I will never forget our first date! After that, we continued to be inseparable. As we were sitting in his truck on May 7th of 2017, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend.

Austin and I have always loved traveling. This past September (2019) , we decided to go to Colorado to celebrate my birthday. We love to hike and fish, so Colorado seemed like a great choice. We made sure to go to all the attractions. The first couple of days we hiked Pike's Peak and the Seven Falls. Next, we ventured to Steamboat Springs to spend a couple days. While we were there, we went to the Strawberry hot springs and then to a private river to fly fish! That was an ultimate blast! On September 6th, we planned on heading through the Rocky Mountains to spend our last day in Denver. I told Austin that I always wanted to go to Estes Lake, which was outside of the Rocky Mountains. We stopped there, it was just at sunset with the mountains reflecting on the lake. That is when he proposed!! I was crying tears of happiness as I said YES and he couldn't stop smiling. We are both so excited for our future together!
