Today Tim and I went snowshoeing up a trail in Dry Canyon. We stopped at an area with a beautiful view of the mountains where the stone reflected the pink of the sunset, and Tim started taking off his gloves unexpectedly. He got down on one knee and pulled a ring from his pocket. As he placed it on my finger, he said, "Laura Dickey, will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?" I started crying of course and after a few moments of consideration I said, "I would love to marry you. Yes!" We then kissed against the backdrop of the setting sun, and it all would have made a terrific ending to a movie, except I'm six months pregnant (which makes embracing head on a bit difficult), and we both had snot-cicles hanging from our noses. Nevertheless, it was a perfect ending to a lovely Christmas day, and I couldn't be happier.
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

It's so good to see you so happy Laura. Thanks Tim for making Laura so happy. Congratulations too. From engagement to wedding will be record quick!!!
Dont you just love happily ever after christmases?
Sounds romantic, except I got stuck at the snowshoeing part! How did you make it up there?! I guess that's the difference of being pregnant with your first, and being pregnant with your fifth! I'm huffing and puffing just going up the stairs, let alone snowshoeing up a trail, of any sort! Congrats, and it was fun seeing you and meeting Tim yesterday! I'm looking forward to Tuesday!
Wow, a five day engagement before the ceremony. Don't you think you are rushing it just a bit? I mean I'm just looking out for you and all... :)
"Yea" for officiality! I love it! Congratulations you two!
Congrats! Congrats! You two are very cute together, and I'm SO HAPPY YOU'RE SO HAPPY! What a special Christmas for you both!
