I was in Boulder visiting my mom for the summer, and had plans to go back home mid August. It was Monday July 31st and my mom woke me up early to tell me her friend from high school Malina and her daughter Kylee were coming to spend the day with us. They walked down the stairs and I saw the most beautiful smile followed by "Hi, I'm Ky". I was shy and awkward because I didn't know how to tell her I had a crush on her after spending a only a few hours with her. Then she asked me to come hangout in Castle Rock for the night. By the time the night was over it was like we knew each other our whole life. I was hooked from day one!!

It's the beginning of a beautiful summer in Colorful Colorado. On Friday we packed our bags to meet Kylee's parents at 11 Mile Canyon for a long weekend camping. Saturday comes around and her dad and I spend the morning fishing and fellowshipping. After a morning of encouragement and wisdom we head back to the camper to see Kylee and her mom. We all gathered for some lunch and family conversation. I then said, lets all take a hike. Kylee, being Kylee she wanted to go a different trail then the special one I had in mind. So I convinced her to take the trail I had planned. We walked down to a field of aspen trees with our initials engraved and some flowers that we had set up, and when she wasn't looking I got down on one knee. She turned around and before I could say anything I was already crying. But, SHE SAID YES!
