Drum roll please...

So after 5 years and 8 months Tristan finally popped the question!! WE'RE ENGAGED!! He asked me to marry him while we were up at the cabin that we go to every year after Christmas. We went to the Tonto Natural Bridge National Park that is just past Payson, Az. The drive down to the bridge is soo pretty that i pulled over and made Tristan take a picture :]


After paying $4 each to get into the park, we started the 1/2 mile hike down to the bridge. Towards the beginning of the hike you're sort of walking over the bridge, and there's a natural hole that they caged over and you can look down through the top to see the creek that runs below the bridge.


The view from the bottom of the bridge was b-e-a-utiful!!





There was a rock at the bottom of the bridge that Tristan thought was the coolest thing ever.



After we took some pictures I got cold so Tristan opened his jacket and let me cuddle with him. His heart was beating really fast but I didn't really think anything of it. He started talking about how our cabin and the bridge was a special place for us, and as soon as the coast was clear he got down on one knee! I muttered something along the lines of "Are you serious? What are you doing? Oh my gosh!" as soon as he started getting down on his knee, then i started getting teary eyed so the rest is kind of like a blurry dream. Tristan told me that he loved me with all his heart and he always will, that i was his best friend, (at this point I started all out crying-Tristan calls it "cutie crying") and that he knew he wanted to be with me forever. Then he pulled the ring of his pinkie finger-where he was hiding it! sneaky sneaky- and asked me if I would marry him while sliding the ring on my finger. I said "yes", which came out as "yeeeeeeeez" because I was all sniffly, and he picked me up in the biggest hug ever!! YAY!!!!




Tristan did an amazing job picking out my ring!! Its perfect and I can't see myself wearing anything else. Good job baybay!!



It's only been a few days, but it still feels like a dream. We both still giggle when we call each other "fiancee" and I'm constantly staring at my ring and thinking about all the wonderful possibilities our future has. I can't wait to be Tristan's wife :] I'm the happiest girl in the world!!
