We got to Lake Tahoe on December 4, later in the evening, decided to get some pizza and relax so we could get up early and go on a hike. We got up the next morning and put on some warmer clothes since we were hiking in December (I may or may not have checked Tyler out when he got dressed to see if he could possibly be hiding anything since I went into this trip VERY suspicious for a few reasons but I couldn't see anything unusual). We went to a cute coffee shop before heading off to our hiking adventure. We decided to hike some trails around Emerald Bay. We got to a spot that was higher up on the trail and it instantly took my breath away, pictures do absolutely nothing to capture how incredible this place was, I thought this would be a great spot for a proposal but since I didn't see anything unusual in the morning I pushed that thought out of my mind. We hiked about 3.5 miles before deciding to head back towards the car. We wanted to stop back at that spot we went to earlier to see the view one more time. We went out to one of the bigger rocks (pictured below) and sat there for a while to take in the views. That's when Tyler told me to stand up, got on one knee, pulled a ring box out of HIS SOCK, and asked me to marry him. I was in shock. I did not see that coming since at that time we had just hiked over five miles, he was so sneaky about the whole thing!
