While visiting Ouray in beautiful Southwest Colorado for Andy's Ouray100 race, we decided to hike the Blue Lakes Trail. It's a trail that takes you up 1,600 feet of elevation to the most stunning blue lake nestled between the mountains. Lauren picked the hike because it was rated as "beginner" but she quickly learned there is no such thing as a beginner trail in the Colorado mountains. So after a little bit of blood, sweat, and tears... we finally made it to the top! Once we arrived, we took a few minutes to catch our breath (Lauren to grab a snack) and decided to take a selfie. As we were smiling for the camera, Andy dropped to one knee and proposed! Immediately, Lauren said "Yes!" and then started sobbing for the cries to echo all throughout the valley, ruining any peaceful moment for all other hikers on the trail. We are so excited for this next chapter in our lives and can't wait to celebrate with all our friends and family! See you in November 2023!
