Engagement Trip - Day 4

  Today we slept til about 7am. I can't believe we are engaged. I'm pretty sure I woke up with an actual smile this morning. I was up in the air about if I was gonna put it on facebook. I wanted to tell more people before they found out on facebook. I texted Janet, Meg & Jac. I called Jess, she was super excited. I knew my mom would call Joanne, I wanted Jess to hear it from me. So, then I put it on facebook for everyone to see. Eric texted a bunch of his family and friends as well.

As we got ready the view from our balcony was so cool, the mountains looked like a backdrop, a painting on a large canvas!   On my way down to breakfast, Gina and Meg called me, I was so happy to tell them. Jac texted me right back a few times. Her las one was so funny “so is this our 24 hour notice to get to Vegas?”. Eric's family started answering right away also. By the time we were ready to leave I had like 20 replies on FB. So crazy! So we ate our breakfast and hit the road.

Engagement Trip - Day 3 - THE Day!

   It was 6am when I reached over to hit the snooze button. I was so excited! We actually got up right away and got ready. I packed us veggie sammys for lunch from some supplies we got on the way up to West Yellowstone. The cooler was packed and we were dressed for adventure!

We got engaged!

Champagne @ Artist Point at Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

We got engaged in Yellowstone National Park on September 2nd, 2010.  The Lower Falls at Red Rock Point was the perfect setting.

We loved our vacation so much that we decided to get married here.

Engagement Trip - Day 2

Today we woke up to the sound of rain on the roof of our cabin. We hit the alarm off because there wasn't any reason to hit the trails if it was poring. We looked out the window and the Tetons were blanketed in a dense fog. Maybe the bottom 10% of the mountains was visible. Packing up our room was bitter sweet. We loved our little cabin tucked away at the bottom of the majestic mountains on the shore of the lake. We packed and set out in hunt for a good breakfast and some scenic drives. Breakfast was another good meal at our lodge. It was the same waitress and the same view. Eric ordered a skillet breakfast without eggs, extra veggies, the waitress giggled, but didn't make him repeat it. I had a bagel, strawberries and a banana, which I saved for a snack. We started our trip with full bellies and needed to get gas. We started out a little disappointed by the fog and rain but the Tetons still did not let us down. Even though we couldn't see the snow covered peaks, they were still as awesome.
