bizarre

So.... I'm engaged....WHAT?!

It's so bizarre to think about.

I think since I've worked overtime since it happened it hasn't really hit me yet.
I'll look down and see the bling on my finger but for some reason it doesn't seem so strange anymore.
I think this is due to the fact that I've been awaiting this for quite some time.

Ok, so the story.

Thanksgiving day.
Family time.
Food time.
Harry Potter time. (which was awesome by the way)
On the ride home after the movie I was insanely tired, so the two of us didn't really exchange any words (which isn't out of the ordinary by any means for us).
At one point in the silence, he grabbed my hand and I actually remember thinking briefly, "What would it be like if he proposed to me tonight?" But then the thought went away.
We pulled into my driveway on this cold wet evening and I got out of the car to dash into the house.
Before I could even make it up the stairs, Corbin said to hold on, and handed me an envelope with a card in it.
"I want you to read this," he said.
This was weird I thought because he hates it when I read letters in front of him.
I opened the card and it was full with his writing.
My heart instantly began to pound.
This was something big.
I tried to read the letter carefully, but my heart was pounding so fast I could barely see!
At the end it said, "look up now."
I looked up and then it happened.
Me being me I screamed and ran away from him then ran to him then hit him then screamed again then ran away then jumped onto his car and finally back to him again to see the ring at last.
It's beeeautiful!!
We walked in to my awaiting family and we embraced in tears and laughter.
It was a great moment.

I still can't believe it happened, but hey, now I get to plan the rest of my life!
So excited for all of those that I love to embark on this journey with us.


So pumped to marry my best friend :)

Angel Falls

So, today I sit relaxing after a crazy past two weeks.
I worked 9 days straight, but to get a weekend off to spend with Corbonzo!
We decided to hike to Angel Falls in Big South Fork and camp for the night.
It was quite lovely.
On Saturday, it was really sunny and nice outside, but by the time we reached the top I was very hot and sweaty!

This is the river on the trail before we began the incline.


The hike was pleasant and really cool towards the end.
This is a weird rock formation thing that we hiked through. I said that it felt like an area in an aquarium.


Once at the top, we went to the overlook to rest and stare at the most amazing view. Sadly, I didn't capture any great photos because I couldn't really see my screen. It was so bright up there and very windy!

Here's one:


We camped behind the overlook in a cool little area, had a fire and were in the tent before 8 pm... that's right. We're 22 going on 82.

In the night we were rained on a little bit and in the morning I woke up freezing.
Outside it was beautiful and foggy and we got to hike down in the rain.
Nothing like an adventure with your favorite person in the whole world.
