After buying a house and building a business together, it was no surprise on the "next step." In fact, we've been talking about our dream wedding for years! However, Dana did catch me off guard. Our engagement story is simple and completely us. We were packing up for a week's vacation in Eagle River. It was a SCRAMBLE to get our work settled, barn projects done and loaded up to get on the road. In typical fashion, we were already late. As we were locking up, Dana said it was urgent to pick out a stain color for the barn staircase. Since I recently stained and sealed the wood a month prior, I was confused. Reluctantly, we made our way to the stairs. We stood there looking at the stairs talking business. Dana ran up the stairs and insisted the light hits the staircase differently a the top. I, still confused, made my way by him. As I analyzed the wood color, I turned around (not caring about what color it should be) and he was on one knee! I was so shocked and excited, the only words that came out of my mouth were swear words. Between the swearing, screaming and shaking, I said yes! We were so excited to tell our family and friends AND have a vacation to treasure the moment!
