I'm not sure how or why the stars aligned that day, but I am so grateful they did. Shane was traveling to Angel Fire, NM for his cousin's bachelor party and I was on vacation with a friend after graduating from college. I was sitting at the bar at base of the mountain when Shane walked in with a group of guys. I can clearly remember seeing Shane walk through the front door with icicles on his big ole' mustache and getting the biggest butterflies! Embarrassingly, I had to tell myself not to stare at him or be weird- not sure that worked, but I tried! Shane and a few of his friends ended up coming to our table and talking to us for the rest of the evening; it was the kind of evening you never want to forget. We talked for HOURS, and once the bar was closing down, my friend and I decided to keep hanging out with this crazy group of guys again the next day. My friend and I show up to the mountain and met up with some of the guys from the day before and I see Shane walk up to the rental shop where I asked him to meet up with me (so nervous)! I told him I wanted to learn how to snowboard and without hesitation he says, "I'll teach you!" Obviously I'm insanely excited- but then I realize this means he's going to give up a full day of snowboarding to teach me the basics. This is when I realized he was different. He was so patient, kind, and FUN! We spent the whole day going up and down the mountain, having fun and trying not to flirt with each other. After that trip Shane and I traveled nearly every week/weekend to see each other-ignoring the fact that the trip from OKC to Fort Worth was 3.5 hours both ways. We quickly fell in love and I moved to Fort Worth on a whim just 4 months after knowing him. We traveled back to Angel Fire, NM this past February for vacation with a few of our family members and Shane proposed to me on the very same mountain and run that he taught me how to snowboard on. We've spent every day since then on cloud 9, never looking back.
