Outdoors Engagement Stories

So right off, you need to know that I can handle about any kind of bugs, excluding spiders, and ticks. Ticks are the worst.

I was in my flat with my flat-mate, Emma. We were planning a girly night, you know, movies, popcorn yada yada yada. My boyfriend, Harry, had Emma's number in case of emergencies.

Felicia flew to Washington State to spend some time with Eric. They were going through the Ape Caves(pitch black caves with rocks to hike and climb and go down) with Eric's friend.

We knew we were the ones for each other from the first night we met, when I wished on a shooting star to keep him forever. A week later we set a date for our wedding.

In the spring of 08 I gave up looking for a good guy. It seemed like every time I started to like a guy, something always went wrong.

"Our place" is Morton Arboretum. We go there every season several times a year for picnics, hikes, taking in the fall colors, playing in the snow, etc.

My now fiance' Matt invited me to his grandparents' home in Lukenbach, TX for Christmas. His grandparents own acres of beautiful land in the middle of Texas Hill Country.

It all began with a facination of riding the mother road and seeing historic Rt. 66...so we planned for months...fly into Vegas, taxi to Harley Dealer, get on the bike and head for Santa Monica Calif. to begin the trip of a lifetime.

Ever since we graduated from Duluth we made it a tradition to go back every year for a visit. This time it was for my birthday and the weather was unusually warm for mid-November.
