Our friend, the talented Danielle Sorum, shot our engagement photos. We love them!

We feel so fortunate to have traveled parts of SE Asia. This is known as the "T-Rex" peninsula.

We love our sports teams! Leslie is an NDSU Bison fan, and Chase is a UND Hawks fan. Leslie loves wearing her Bison gear to Hawks games, and they even got on the kiss cam!

Chase's original drawing of the ring. :) He's so talented.

Leslie's five words for Chase: kind, supportive, witty, intelligent, and artistic.

The most perfect, custom ring. Designed by Chase with Leslie in mind, it is a gold band (classic!) in the shape of deer heads with antlers (unique!) with a lavender sapphire (stunning!). Nailed it.

We enjoy supporting the arts. Here is a picture of us at a Fire Hall theatre production.

A hike or two before the proposal! Columbia Icefield Glacier.

Chase designed the band and setting and worked with the jeweler to create this custom ring. The band is two deer heads with antlers holding the stone. Can you see it? It is elegant outdoorsy.

Our friend, Danielle Sorum, shot our engagement photos. LOVE her and love the pictures.

A hike into Johnston's Canyon in Banff National Park, Alberta, CA. We love hiking and gorgeous sites like this.

This ring! Chase looked at over 40 stones to pick the perfect shade. He chose a lavender sapphire, and it sparkles and shimmers gorgeously. Leslie's finger has never looked so good. :)

Right after she said YES! So dang happy.

Exploring Ubud. We toured ancient temples, rice terraces, and waterfalls. We drank Luwak coffee, learned about Indonesian traditions, and took a ton of pictures.

This ring!

We clean up pretty well. :)

The picture of YES!! Chase carried the ring in his pocket for two days, waiting for the perfect moment. That time came in Pocahontas Campground, Jasper National Park, Alberta, CA. It was perfect.

Here we are in Nusa Pendia, one of our many excursions in Indonesia. Leslie was terrified of the heights, but Chase held on tight!

This is taken at Judy's, a local bar we went to on our first date. This picture is special because the following morning, we exchanged 'I love you's' for the first time. :)
