Wed. Dec 19 Hutch took me to go get a Christmas tree up Line Creek on our horses. It was fun, I've never went to get a live tree for christmas before, so it was a new experience for me. We found one, that looked to be alright and we cut it down and carried it out back to the trail. Hutch then put the tree on the ground and wanted to keep riding and we'd come back for it on our way back. So we took off again on our horses heading up a hill. We got on top and tied the horses up. He put his coat down so we could sit down on it, drinking hot coco while looking over the Morgan valley. We kept looking for some elk, and on our way up had saw a big bull off in the distance, so Hutch kept looking for more.
After some time of drinking our hot coco and talking, with the dogs snuggling up next to me, Hutch stood up and walked a little farther on top and went to the other side of the hill, facing more of the mountains rather than the valley. He stood there for a few minutes and called out to me saying he wants to show me something. I get up and headed toward him thinking.... more elk to see..... I get up to him and he holds me in his arms pointing to a clearing in some trees off in the distance and asks do I see it. At first I am scanning everywhere for elk but in the clearing of trees there are the letters "A + H" (our initials) he had made out of tree branches earlier that morning. He then turned me around as he kneeled on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. And they lived happily ever after.

I told Hutch I wanted a pearl engagement ring then a diamond ring when I am married. He went and picked out the engagement ring all by himself and I absolutely love it. I must admit I was a little worried what he would pick but he did a great job. Its a pearl with 6 diamonds. 3 on each side of it.
