We both went to UCA but didn't really talk until Junior Backpacking. He complimented my bison pajama pants and I knew he was the one. For the next few months I would catch him in class or any other time I could. In December he asked me to winter banquet and by the end of January we were dating.
It was my birthday and Alex drove down to Walla Walla to celebrate with me. I had a feeling that he would propose this weekend and was giving my sister a play-by-play of the whole thing. We drove up into the mountains and every walk we did or lookout we stopped at I was convinced he would propose. However, after a few hours I decided I must be wrong and told Kristen that it wasn't happening today. Then the next lookout we stopped at he knelt down and popped the question. This was one of the few times I've been happily proved wrong!
