We're Getting married!

Before becoming high school sweet hearts, we met through mutual friends. After getting to know each other through a couple of group gatherings, birthday parties, and movie outings, Jake finally took the chance to ask me out while we were waiting in his car to pick up our friends. I was initially really confused and almost blew my chance at a first date with him by asking whether our friends were going as well when it hit me that he was asking me out! After a round of mini golf and some bubble tea at the local smoothie shop, the rest is history.

While taking a trip to Grand Marais, Minnesota, Jake suggested that we hike up to Honeymoon Bluff in the Superior National Forest to catch the sunrise. I was surprised that he was so willing to wake up at 3:30am to drive to the trailhead, but I figured that as a photography buff, he was hoping to get some scenic shots. After arriving at the trailhead around 4:30am, we started hiking to the bluff, where we sat and watched the still waters of Hungry Jack Lake. As the sun began to rise over the trees, Jake dropped down to the ground, and after the initial shock and tears, we were engaged!
