I'm engaged to Grant!!!! Hahaha I'm so happy and excited! So I guess I should probably tell you how it happened.
Grant had mentioned that he wanted to go on a hike before it got too cold. So we had planned that for Oct. 20. Once he was out of work, he came to get me. We went to Adam's canyon. I felt so pathetic because I had to keep stopping to catch my breath about every 2 switchbacks. Honestly, that's the hardest part of the hike. It kills me every time. After that I actually enjoyed the hike. It was a perfect day. The sun was shining, and the temperature was very nice. And the trees were all different colors. I love Autumn! During the hike, Grant would slow down significantly and start texting, so I teased him about not being able to do two things at the same time. We came to a bridge and stopped for a little while to look at the stream. Then we hike on a little further. We came to a spot where we had been before. It's a small plateau/cliff area that's out of the way of passerbys. When we reached the spot, there was a picnic all laid out for us. There was a sign that said "Steab-party of two". It was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for me. We ate our meal, looking over the valley. Once we were both done, Grant said, "There might be some dessert in here." He opened the picnic bag, pulled out the ring, and asked, "Laura Rae Denhalter, will you marry me?" I said yes of course. Then two of my friends came out of the bushes and started taking pictures of us. Cora and Stephanie had hiked up before us and set everything up.
So I'm now engaged to the most amazing man alive!
