Soooooo for my 21st birthday this past summer, my boyfriend Trevor and I decided we would go camping at Wild River state park. I was super excited because I was living at home last summer and I didn't get to see him except for on weekends, so having an entire three days with him was really awesome :) Anyway, so we got all packed up and drove an hour northeast from the cities. Sunday was my birthday, and he had a day full of fun things planned...
So after we went to Taylor's Falls, we realized we were really close to the Wisconsin border, so we drove across the river to this tiny little tourist town to grab some coffee for Trevor (he's a bit of a caffeine addict ;) ) and some lunch, and then we went to a winery for a private wine tasting! We ended up buying a bottle of my favorite wine to go with our delicious steak dinner later.
After dinner we had smores, and I was really excited because I had kind of been anticipating something life-changing happening that day... So, at this point I'd had a few glasses of wine. My mouth was speaking a little more freely, and so mid-smore I asked Trevor when I would get my ring! Trevor replied, "Oh, not today, baby. I didn't want to take away the excitement of your 21st birthday. You'll probably get that a different day." So that was that, I had a second smore and decided to forget about it as we cleaned up the campsite to get ready for bed.
But then, we went for a little walk to this beautiful prairie overlook. There was a bench there, so we sat down for a little while, watching the stars and the moon, and then Trevor started fumbling around in his pocket, pulled out a ring box and asked me to marry him! Of course I said yes :) It was pretty dark out, so he had to use his phone to show me how beautiful the ring is.
So the past few months I've been wedding planning, getting ready for this coming spring! It's gonna be legen...wait for it... and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is DAIRY. LEGENDARY.
Love you all!
