The Proposal
From the viewpoint of Amanda: We had been planning a weekend out at Adam's parents cabin for a few weeks. So I had suspicions that it would happen that weekend. We got out to the cabin and spent all day Saturday cutting down trees for our fence (another story). So as the day went on Adam wasn't acting nervous or even different, so I began to convince myself that it wasn't going to happen. Adam's parents left right before dinner leaving us with amazing kabobs to grill. Adam was great at grilling grilled those up and set up a blanket in front of a pile of brush soon to be bonfire. It?s at this point that I began to get suspicious again. As he was grilling he mentioned he was upset that it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars. The clouds came from a large storm heading our way. The wind was extreme and making lighting the bonfire very difficult. Even with Adam's best attempts we could not get the fire to start. So we ate our kabobs next to a lovely pile of brush. All during dinner I assumed we would not be getting engaged tonight. I figured Adam had a plan and with the clouds and the brush it wouldn?t be happening. Adam had to run inside and brought Eames (our dog) back out with him. When he got to me he said some amazing things and then got down on one knee with Eames by his side he asked me to marry him. I of course said yes or we would not be here right now. It was an amazing beginning to a new chapter or our lives.
