Our Engagement Story

December 21,2018

We went on vacation to Hawaii, to spend christmas somewhere amazing. On our second day, we took a trip up the kiluaha volcano that had recently erupted earlier that year. We both have always wanted to see flowing lava! Unfortunately for us the volcano decided to stop producing lava a month before we arrived. Not only did it stop..it stopped after 30 years of straight flowing... figures lol. But we were able to see all the new damage the volcano caused, as well as the old spots. On one of the older spots that had very loose lava rock and very sharp lava stone, John surprised me by getting down on one knee on razor sharp lava rock and proposed. It was a huge surprise! I was more concerned with his knee than listen to what he said.. all I knew was the answer..YES! John had apparently told EVERYONE beforehand so everyone knew it was happening...except me. It was perfect.
