They played trivia crack and chatted on her long road trip down to Arkansas. When she got back he invited her over for a game night with friends. Slowly everyone left until it was just Nathan and Hannah, and he asked her out on a date. Somehow she didn't see it coming! She took three days to think it over and decided to say yes to the date during her hike on Hawk Mountain. The very same mountain they got engaged on 14 months later!

For the first date Nathan decided to take Hannah out for a fun filled evening in Portland. First they grabbed tacos at Por qué No? Then they went to Powell's Books and found all their favorite middle school reads. On their way to Salt and Straw ice cream they stopped in one of Portlands many grungy record stores. This one had a particularly large selection of spa music on vinyl... very Portland. They got ice cream and headed home! What a wonderful night!

All summer long Hannah had been wanting to take Nathan on her favorite mountain hike. Up on top of this mountain is her happy place; she never anticipated how happy she would be upon reaching the top this time! Nathan beat her to the top because of his longer legs and nervous energy. He let out a loud "ECHOOO" to signal his brother who was waiting at the top with his camera. Once Hannah reached the top she barely had time to catch her breath before it was taken away again as Nathan got down on one knee! Then she said yes.
