As many of you know, Chris lives in Eagar, AZ right now, and I live in Everett, WA. Last year when I was in Bozeman, we were able to see each other on every major (and some minor!) holidays. This year we got Halloween together, however we wont be having Thanksgivng together, yet he will be coming into town on Dec. 4th for a belated Turkey day! Last year I went to Eagar for Thanksgiving, and Chris came up and spent the whole two weeks of Chrismas/New Years with me in Everett and Bozeman. This year, Chris is still coming up here, however we are making the flight to Oklahoma for a few days around Christmas to be with his family. I am excited to meet his extended family. I have met his Grandparents, and a Great Aunt and Uncle previously and am looking forward to meeting up with them again. We fly out of OK at 6:30 Christmas morning. Maybe Santa will have to take us to the airport! We will have to make the most out of our three days with his family!
I guess this is what making a family is about, blending our families, spending time with both sides and enjoying the time we have with each others families. Most importantly Chris and I get to spend 2 whole weeks with each other!
Happy Thanksgiving Family and Friends

Engagement!
March 23, 2008.
Chris came to Bozeman for his spring break. Our plan was to go to Yellowstone National Park on that Saturday (22nd). However, after him flying all day the day before, movies and the couch sounded great to us. On Sunday morning, after a wonderful breakfast at I-hop, I was tired and thinking about going back to bed to take a nap, yet when I suggested that Chris immediately said "NO, you cant. We are going to Yellowstone". Knowing that Chris doesn't get too worked up about things like this, I figured it was important to him to go, so we got ready and drove about an hour and a half to the parks only year round entrance in Gardiner, MT.
There was only one road open during this time of the year, we saw so many buffalo and bison. They would just stand in the middle of the road until you honked your horn for them to move. However, the first time we came to a herd in the road, I was a little nervous to honk my horn...who is going to win a bison that weighs a ton, or a 2000 Honda civic?? I learned quickly though that my little horn was enough to get them moving!
About an hour or so into the park we pulled over at what should have been a viewing area, but was covered in about ten feet of packed snow. I climbed up the snow and had my camera out to take some pictures. Chris got out of the car, and was taking his time coming up the snow. There were some buffalo and foxes, elk and other animal milling around so I took some pictures of them. Eventually Chris came up and hugged me from behind and asked "how does this look?". At first I was a little confused, then I saw down on his finger, was a ring, MY ring! I said it was pretty and he asked me to marry him and Im pretty sure I said yes, the butterflies in my stomach kinda took over for a couple of seconds! He put it on my finger, and it sparkled so much with the winter sun and the snow all around us!
It was a wonderful time, and although I had to wait about 3 more hours for cell phone service, it made it very special for him and me to have that time together.
Within a week we had the date, location, and reception venue all picked out... okay well we picked the date, and I picked the church and the reception place!
