To really appreciate the beauty of Luke's perfect proposal you need a little background information...
Luke and I first met in Fall 2006. He quickly became my best friend in 2009. One of our first solo trips was chronicled here. To save you the trouble of re-reading that blog, I'll just say we went to Lake Placid, NY.
We have returned one other time since that AWESOME first date. So, when Luke suggested we head to Lake Placid I didn't think anything of it...
On our first trip we went on a long hike. A hike where one of my all time favorite conversations took place... no, not the deep ones about life and God... this one... the one where I knew I could love this guy (seriously)...
Scene: Luke and Haley hiking, but not terribly close to each other because we weren't sure we would actually be dating... ((eye roll))
Luke (in a smug voice, which if you know Luke is still really nice and just kinda playful) "Do you know which direction the car is?"
Haley (pointing aimlessly) "uhhhh ummmm that way"
Luke (pointing the opposite direction) "Noooo, it is that way. You should watch the sun so you'll know that. I mean what happens if you go blind out here and the stumble on another? They could just point me toward the sun and I would know which way to go."
Haley "Ok, you do that and I'll ask them to lead my back to the car"
Luke ".... .... ...."
Then he laughed. That's when I knew he was alllllright in my book. That's also the first time he touched my hand... helping me jump down from a steep step.
So, that was the beginning... I'll tell you about the actual engagement tomorrow... with pictures! But I need the evening to Photoshop the sweat stains out of the pictures... ;)
