A last minute trip to Coeur d' Alene, Idaho turned into a weekend we'll never forget. Friday morning we woke to clouds and rain but with Amanda's heart set on hiking Mineral Ridge trail we headed out to see if we could make it happen. Not thinking it was going to be so cold, our first stop was to find Brian some warm sweatpants and Amanda a beanie and of course a nice snack. Around 1 pm we were on the trail hiking to the top. The rain had stopped the sun broke through the clouds and it was a perfect cool day playing reggae music on the phone and talking about the next adventure we'd like to take. At the top we veered off to the right for another short hike and came to a rock landing and a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding mountains. We stood in awe of the view. Amanda said she'd love to live there, Brian asked if he could come with her, she said of course, and as she turned around to face him he held the ring and said he'd better make sure of it. Will you marry me? YES, YES, a thousand times YES!!!
