Happy Thanksgiving and..... !!

Sorry for the delay in posting - Ian and I have been in areas with very limited cell service but incredible views!! 

Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends.  We miss you very much!!

Alright, we have something big to share :) 

              We are ENGAGED!!!!!

It all started on Wednesday with Ian asking me if I wanted to watch the sunset with him (look to our last post for the view from the lodge).  He asked this in the morning, innocently, and I thought nothing beyond, "how sweet".  

Fast forward to later in the afternoon, when I am laying on the couch post-nap and altitude sickness, and I notice Ian has his jacket and shoes on already to see the sunset.  I immediately pouted, thinking he was going to watch it without me.  I quickly out my shoes on, and my jacket (but no makeup) and went to the door to the porch.  (I did brush my teeth randomly before heading outside) 

When I stepped onto the deck, Ian was on one end, and asked me to come see the well.  I thought he said "wall", to which I said I've already seen it.  Mid-sentence however, I noticed his face, and then noticed a sign made of sticks on the deck.  As I walked closer, I saw this: 

Ian reached out and grabbed both of my hands and he got down on one knee :) He said beautiful words about sharing our lives together and asked me to marry him.  I was tearing up and shaking a bit but I managed to say yes!! (I clarified later that I acutually said it out loud) 

He then slipped an amazing ring on my finger and we smiled and laughed and cried a bit :) 

Afterward, we popped a bottle of champagne and watched the sunset together behind the awesome landscape before us.  

We didn't have much in the way of cell service and still don't, so if we haven't called you yet, we are  working on it :) 

The next day, my sister and her boyfriend joined us at the ranch for a thanksgiving feast and we loved telling her in person!

We are both so excited for this new chapter!!! 

Thank you all so much for your love and support on our journey. 

Will post more soon! On our way to the Grand Canyon as we speak!
