Happy New Year and Exciting News!

Picture this.

New Years Eve, Flagstaff Arizona. Ken and I get there around 8 p.m. and grab some dinner at the Olive Garden. Afterwards, we head to the camp site. Oh yes, snow camping. I wasn't crazy about the idea at first, but I thought 'Hey why not?'

So we head to Munds Park, and take the road that goes towards Mormon Lake to hit a camp site that Ken has been to before. But, alas, the road is closed due to poor driving conditions (yes, snow and ice). There is a plowed parking lot surrounded by forest that Ken wants to check out, but I suggested trying another route to get to Mormon Lake.

Ken decides to get off at the next exit to find a place. There is a "road" that leads into the woods a bit. Ok, so it was more like a snowy path that some type of motor vehicle has been on. So he decides to take that for a while, then decides that it isn't be best place to go due to the poor traction conditions. Although we don't find that out until we try to start moving again. Yes, we stuck, but through some maneuvering, we get out, and back on the highway to the first area we found.

So, as Ken finds a decent place to set up camp, I get bundled up and ready to brave the cold. We get the camp set up and go back to get the pillows, blankets and the air mattress. It took about 15-20 minutes to fill the darn air mattress up with air. We finally get everything set up and cuddle inside the tent. My toes were so freakin numb I didn't think they would ever thaw! But they did, and the tent was pretty warm after a while. Approximate time, 1:30 am.

We end up talking and stuff since neither of us were really tired and it was really too cold to sleep. And that's when it happens!! Ken proposed!! Uh-huh, no jokes. I am so happy. There really aren't any words to describe how I feel. I love him so much!
