Not a normal trip to the cabin

Chris had some time off of work mid week because he had so much overtime at work and he needed to flex it

So we decided to go up to the cabin Wednesday morning

Chris woke up early and went over to his dads to do a few things

Kennedy and I slept in

When he came home he brought us breakfast

a HUGE cinnamon roll that was as big as the to go container

We headed up the canyon

The leaves were just starting to change

It was only like 58 degress outside

Nice and cool

Crisp fall air

My FAVORITE time 

We got to the cabin

Did a few things

Took a few guns to shoot

Kennedy and I shot my .22 buckmark

She loves to shoot 

She shot my open sights .22 also

And bb gun

We were just really trying to work on learning to aim

But its so hard when the gun is too big 

Chris just kind of hung out

Worked with Bailey and watched

Kennedy took a bunch of pictures

She took this one of Chris and its one of my favorites

I also ended up with about 20 like this 

We were getting ready to head back home

We'd planned to take Bailey and walk through this little patch of trees to see if we kicked up any grouse

It had just been a perfect day so far

I told Chris before we started hunting I wanted a picture of our little family of 4

Him, Bailey, Kennedy and me

So he took off on one end and Kennedy and I on the other

He told us to follow the ridge down but stay on this side of it and they were off

Kennedy and I took our time walking through the tress

Some of the brush was kind of high so it took her a minute

We were just walking through when Chris yelled out

"Hey babe where are you guys at?!"

I said just over here and he started walking over to where we were at

He came over to us and said to Kennedy

"Hey hold my gun a minute will you"

I said something I dont even remember and he said

"Dont worry its not loaded"

It didn't even have time to register with me

I figured he had unloaded it before he gave it to her or something

He had to kind of crouch down to hand it to her so he was down on the ground

I kind of turned towards him and 

he was down on one knee with a ring box in front of me

I was so shocked! I thought he was messing with his shoe, or Baileys collar or something

He said " We didn't come up here to hunt.. Will you marry me?"

I started bawling and kissing him

I couldn't stop either 

Kennedy was standing right next to us and kept saying

"See mom I knew he was going to marry you! Now he will be my other dad! He's going to marry you! Dont go to a wedding dance with out me!"

I finally stopped crying long enough to realize I hadn't answered him

I was still hugging and kissing him as he was down on his knee and shook my head yes

We were both crying

I held out my shaky hand and he put the ring on my finger

I was trembling

I finally collected myself after a minute and told him dont you dare move I need a picture!

It was perfect

I was so surprised

I kept crying and shaking 

I loved having Kennedy there for it

I love my ring

Its pink camo

So me

So us

So perfect

The band that goes with it is matching with a bunch of little stones in it

and then we walked down the hill and back to the truck

Yes he did ask my dad a few weeks ago if it was ok to marry me :)

He got the approval

He'd had the ring for over a month

He had planned to do it over the deer hunt but woke up that morning and just decided that was the day

So he went over and talked to his dad, got the ring from his dads house and set it up
