I hope you're sitting down

Craig and I got engaged yesterday!! Here's the story...Craig wanted to go for a hike at Mt. Rainer saturday. I was a litte suspicious because he does not hike but I thought that maybe since I always complain about it that he was trying to do something that I like to do. Anyhow, the road to the hike he had selected (leads to a suspension bridge and glacier) was closed so we chose a different one in the area that leads to a waterfall and lake. For the most part it was very easy but at the end it was uphill and I was starting to think that he was going to have a heartattack. We get to the waterfall to have lunch (he was too tired to attempt to make it to the lake) and he hugs me and starts talking about the house and how much he loves me and how he never thought he would find a girl like me and all that jazz (as he is sweating bullets everywhere, very romantic huh? lol). At this point I knew what was coming and he gets down on 1 knee and pulls out a ring box and asks me to marry him. Of course I say yes.

We were both wanting to get engaged before we closed on the house but I had decided that it just wasn't going to happen. We close on wednesday so it worked out great! He custom designed the ring himself, the pictures don't do it justice. I guess he's been working on it for 2 months and it finally was finished on tuesday. Anyhow, he's some pics of us in front of the waterfall and the ring. Unfortunatly I don't know how to use to self timer so I didn't get any of the 2 of us. :(
