1 year ago today, my sweet Chris asked me to be his wife. WOW how the time has flown!

One day last May, Chris was supposed to be to my house to hang out at 1 o'clock. At 1:15, I started wondering where he was, so I called him.

Me: "Hey, where are you?"

Chris: "Uh...watching TV at home"

Me: "Oh...ok"

Chris: "I will be there in a while"

I was a little confused because Chris lived 45 minutes away from me, so he should have LEFT his house an hour before our phone call. Whatever. About 30 seconds later, I get a phone call from Chris.

Chris: "I lied to you!"

Me: "Oh! About what?"

Chris: "I'm not really at home watching TV, I'm at lunch with your dad asking him if I can marry you!"

Me: "Haha that's something that would be okay to lie about"

Chris: "I just felt too bad, I can't lie to you."

Aww one of the 923847938 reasons why I LOVE that boy. So, anyway, I knew the proposal was coming soon.

I had planned out a secret date for the two of us months before May, I was just waiting for it to get warm enough to actually do it. The plan was to go up Butterfield Canyon and have a picnic on top of the mountain. The weather man told us that May 17th would the first day that it would be warm enough for our secret date! So, we drive to the entrance of Butterfield Canyon, but it was closed. Plan: FOILED! We ended up just going over to Daybreak, laid our blanket next to the lake, and had a lovely spring picnic. We talked for a long time, then it happened. 

Chris: "Cami, I have a confession....I spent some money."

Me: "Okay, what did you buy?"

Chris: "Well, I really appreciate you planning out fun dates like this for us, so I made you a Build-A-Bear. Feel it's package...it's huge!"

So, I felt its pants and there was a big lump, I thought it was the little voice box (yep, still clueless at this point). Then Chris put his hand down the bear's shorts, pulls out a ring box, and got on his knee. I don't remember a thing that he said, I only remember being extremely surprised and incredibly happy!

To celebrate our "one year ago we got engaged" day, we had a picnic in our living room. We wanted to go to Daybreak, but since it SNOWED today, we figured it wouldn't be too enjoyable.

What a GREAT year it's been. Chris and I both agree that it has been the best year of our lives. I fall more and more in love with Christopher as each day passes. I am the luckiest.
