We spent our Christmas holiday in Colorado. December 24th, 2021, marked our five year anniversary together. We celebrated, we laughed, we ate and had a great time.

December 26th, 2021, we decided to go for a hike through the Rocky Mountains. Going for hikes, being outdoors and exploring is something we always do together. We were excited because we had never hiked through the Rockies, let alone during the winter.

It was 7:30am, we were preparing and gathering all of our gear for the hike. We drove up to the mountain and started walking the trailhead, trekking through inches of snow. Our destination point was called “Dream Lake”. Little did I know that “Dream Lake” would take on a whole new meaning.

We finally made it to the top of the mountain. No one else was around. There was a massive wind gust blowing all the snow around us. We set up a tripod to snap a picture, we posed, we smiled and then Zach gave me a big hug. He started to ask me if I’m excited to move out West with him. Of course I answered, “yes!!” He then started to ask me if I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him. In that moment it hit me. I answered, “WHAT IS HAPPENING?!” He looked at me with a huge smile and got down on one knee and asked THE question… “Will you marry me?”

In the middle of a mountain top blizzard, that moment that every girl dreams of… happened, it freaking happened! Instantly, I started to cry and gave him a hug and couldn’t let go. Nervously he asked, “so….is that a yes?” I started to laugh and yelled, “WELL YEA!!!”

From that point on, we started an entirely new chapter in our lives together. Here’s to writing our next one!
