It’s the month of February, which is busy for Amber and Nathan, due to prime snowmobiling weather. Nathan had planned three trips to go riding for the month, one of which is with Amber. The only other time Amber and Nathan had gone riding together was in Roseau. The snowmobile trail was alongside a road, in a ditch. Amber didn’t enjoy it very much.

Uncharacteristically, Nathan was planning the entire trip for Amber and him.This small fact tipped off her that something was going to occur that weekend. She’s usually the one to plan events or activities for them to do, so when Nathan decided to plan the entire thing by himself, Amber knew something was up.

They drove up to Tofte, Minnesota, and were staying at Bluefin Bay, right on Lake Superior. Amber claimed that she had no idea that they would be staying at such a nice place, but she totally knew.

Nathan was able to get some Snowmobiles from work for both of them to ride, and the next day they headed out on some trails. For lunch, they visited the Trestle Inn, a place Nathan had been talking about since they started dating. Amber was excited to finally get the chance to go to the famous “Trestle Inn.”

Afterwards, the two began their slow journey back. But because Amber's navigation skills aren’t up to par, she didn’t know where Nathan was leading her. Which was Carlton Peak, the tallest peak around. About halfway up the slope, they stopped at a lookout, Amber thought they were going to then turn back down the hill, she thought wrong. Nathan kept leading her up the peak.

Amber’s mood went sour when there was some bare rock exposed ahead of them, and she couldn’t get up over them with her beginning riding skills. So Nathan replaced Amber on her sled and took it up the rocks. Amber was swearing and yelling at Nathan in her helmet, but Nathan could not hear a word.

Then there was a second set of rocks a little further ahead. She eventually made it up the second pile of rocks, but she was even more peeved.

Then they finally made it to the top. The view was stunning.

While they looked over Lake Superior, Nathan said, “I love you.”

Amber replied, “You better, I just climbed a frigging mountain for you."

Nathan tries to start again and Amber replies with another snarky comment.

Then Nathan took both of Amber's hands, hoping that she would get the picture.

He then said, “Amber, I love you, I was apart from you everyday for two years, I never want to be apart from you for another day for the rest of my life, Amber Elizabeth Cederholm,” then getting on one knee, “will you marry me?"

Amber’s eyes are filled with tears of happiness, and then she said yes. Yes to spending everyday with him for the rest of their lives.
