The Engagement as most of you know was totally unexpected. We flew into San Francisco, spent a day playing in the city and then began our journey up the coast, into the redwood forest, through the largest tree i have even seen and didn't stop until we reached the Klamath River and JH Ranch. Brett and I hiked into a forest where Brett had once before been 7 years prior. There he had carved his initials in a tree and took me back to carve mine. A lot of hiking, tears of joy and a Joe Purdy soundtrack later we spread the great news to our parents and loved ones! The rest of the trip was amazing and Brett somehow convinced me to jump off rocks, swim across the Klamath and accept the fact that showering was something we would do when we got home. I guess the absolute high of being in love with my best friend somehow outweighed the fact that I hate heights, don't loveraging-rapid-rivers and overlook our lack of acceptable hygiene.
