The Proposal

7/17/21

It was our first summer in Summit County after moving up from Denver and one of the many new toys we'd added to our collection was a set of matching kayaks. Lake Dillon is just a few minute drive from our mountain home and we wanted to christen the new boats. As tends to happen in the summer months, an afternoon storm was rolling in, but Alex was determined to set sail, and we did! Made our way to an island and disembarked to explore. While I was distracted, perched atop a rock enjoying the view, he was down on one knee, ready to pop the question. Of course I said yes and we celebrated with the champagne picnic he had somehow stashed away. Our festivities were cut short short as we had to beat that pesky storm back to shore, but that will always be our island and we'll always have that moment.
