It was a Sunday evening as Kalee was swiping right and left on Hinge when she came across this mountain man telling her she looked "B-E-A-UTIFUL". She decided to read more about this guy and messaged him back. After conversing for a couple of days they quickly realized that they had some chemistry and decided to meet that Friday. They met at the park & ride in Old's Station and drove to a trail up Birch Mountain. (Which, Kalee, thinking back was probably not the safest place for a first date...) But that was it...It was love at first message and now on to forever!

The pressure was on for me to pop the question, I proceeded to plot with the utmost discretion. She’s pretty smart and I’m not much of a sneak, But it had to be done by the end of the week. Under the gun, with time running out, I enlisted by Dad for a location to scout. We drove up the valley, while trying hard not to freak, And had an idea, let’s try Ingall’s Creek. The location was near and not hard to reach, The colors were bright, complete with a beach. I came up with a plot, and put plans into motion, To lure her up there without much commotion. Our folks were to meet off-site and in hiding, Even borrowed a car for secretive riding, I hired a friend to take pics on the spot, To capture the moment and all that ‘what-not’. The day was quite perfect, the colors intense, My nerves all but shattered, but in my defense… The plan went off smoothly, with all done and said, Proposal completed, now on to get wed.
