I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

It's official...

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.

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!
