Question
How did we meet?
Answer
Gage's Best Man, Joey, and his Wife/bridesmaid Natalie moved in across the street from Christina Lily. Natalie and Lily quickly became good friends, and after a while, Natalie made it clear that Lily needed to meet Gage. A few weeks later, Gage and Lily had their first blind date! Gage showed up with a curled mustache :) They went to Sharp Shooters and shot their guns. Then went to the Black Diamond and played pool together, and shared some killer nachos!!
Question

Answer
We love to travel, Camp, and play with the dogs! We love to try new restaurants and experiences as a date night, or with a group of friends. We are normally on the go doing something! Gage loves to go hunting, and Lily loves to go dancing. We went to Nashville North for their second date and tried some line dancing together.
Question
Where have we traveled?
Answer
First trip was to Boise to meet and see Lily's Best friend, Tori, and her fiancé, Andrew! It was great to hang out and spend time together! We ate some incredible food, shopped at some fun markets, made really cool handmade signs, and much more. A few months later wasGlacier National Park, then down the Montana/Idaho border, where we hiked to some natural hot springs. Next was Tri-cities for our first wedding of the year! Not only did we go to a wedding, but we also explored around our hotel, visited some beautiful gardens, went swimming, and, of course, ate some good food!! After that was a family Oregon Trip with Lily's parents. We hiked along the entire Columbia River Gorge, visiting numerous waterfalls. Drove into Portland and walked the shops, then onto the coast, where we collected Agates and found secret beaches. We then drove down the entire coast. We saw the sealion caves, many viewpoints, and waves, and even saw whales. We continued up the coast of California, saw some Massive trees. We then went to Crater Lake National Park, and wow, what amazing water. The water was incredibly blue. We hiked down, touched the water, and took a boat cruise. It was so much fun!! After driving around Crater, we drove north to Diamond Lake, where all four of us paddleboarded together at sunset with massive mountains around us. After camping throughout the area, we saw many other lakes, and continued north to some natural hot springs we hiked into, which were both pretty amazing!! After Oregon, we had a few weddings near home, then over to Seattle, where we really did it all! We got in late, so we checked in and then headed to downtown, where we rode lime scooters all around the Space Needle and the pier. What a blast! We went to the Zoo, the Aquarium, and the top of the Space Needle. We also saw all the things at Pike Place Market. After our engagement, we went to Mt. Rainer, and since then have been to Europe! Including Spain, France, and Germany.
Question
Our Engagement
Answer
Gage completely surprised Lily! Gage had planned a weekend trip for them that Lily knew about but didnt know any details for. Thursday before their trip, Lily was supposed to be off around noon to get home, shower, and get ready, but was already a little stressed about having time for everything before the trip. Then Lily's work ran very late, and she got home around 3:10 pm, very unhappy. But Gage was already at her house, ready to go for their plans of "checking Gage's friend's game cam". Lily rushed to get ready and headed out for our hour drive, then a 30-minute hike up. As we were driving, Lily was telling Gage to go slower for the bumps for the puppy and whatnot. Same with on the walk, stopping for puppy water or training breaks... Meanwhile, Gage is thinking man we are behind schedule!!!! We get to the top of a clearing with a beautiful view. There is a photographer taking pictures of a man with a stick... and Gage kinda looks at a tree and says, "Oh, I guess it's gone... Someone must have stole it" and we begin discussing that. Lily then says, "so what we just go home now", Gage say "no lets at least look at the veiw and give the dogs water, so we give dogs water and start walking to the veiw, gages asks Lily if they can let the dogs run, Lily says "NO theres random people here!" and we proceed to veiw, Gage is walking 2 dogs at this time... We stand there for a moment, and Lily begins to think, Hmm this could be happening. Gage leans in for a kiss and fiddles with something in his pocket, then he drops down onto one knee and asks the question!!! After Lily did say yes and Gage put the ring on her finger the photographer came out of the bush behind us, and greeted us, Gaged had planned a sunset phtoshoot for us! with us haing a trip that weekend i chose to pack my cute want to be propsal outfits as i thought he may do it then, therefore i wore not cute hiking clothes... Gage was so sweet and unpacked the dress i wanted and like 3 other outfit options.Magical
