We are getting married!

We met at a skilled nursing facility back in 2016. We were both working as nurses but on different shifts. A cliché story. One day, a large blue ribbon scrunchie on my hair caught his eye and the rest is history...

We have always been avid fans of the Great Outdoors and made it one of our life goals to travel to all 63 National Parks of the US. For our 8/63, we chose Yosemite National Park and hike the infamous Half Dome. Not a hike for the faint-hearted. It's about 18 miles long and a whooping 4000 ft. gain in elevation. Nine hours into the hike, we were exhausted, sweaty and hangry but it was a beautiful place worth getting tired for. He asked my bestfriend to take a photo of us even though we just took a hundred photos already. In a clearing overlooking the awe-inspiring Yosemite Valley, he bent down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" I blinked, suddenly hyper-aware of my face and fingers covered in sweat, sand and dust, that I just mumbled, "What the h---?" I looked at him, the love of my life, and at the ring, his promise of love and loyalty to me. Of course, it was the easiest "Syempre." ever.
