The Proposal

Nick wanted to go hiking one weekend, so we made plans to go to Seed Savers in Decorah. We got out there and started hiking to this spot where you could yell and the echo was amazing! Nick started yelling random things and we continued walking a bit. Next, he yells, "Crystal, will you..." I turn around thinking he is about to joke and get down on one knee to tie his shoe. In my head, I'm about to tell him to stop it but I notice he is pulling something out of his pocket. It turns out to be a little purple box that he opens as he finishes his question, "marry me?". I am absolutely stunned! I respond, "Wait, what?" I start laughing and crying and tell him, "YES!"
