The proposal was truly perfect. We went up to the cabin for Fourth of July weekend, a normal thing to do for the holiday. This year was a bit different because we invited my parents to join us. Also, Cody's dad told everyone to bring a nice outfit because we were going to take family pictures at sunset. So we went throughout the day Saturday, hanging out on the lake and playing games. Then the time came for everyone to get ready. So we all got into our nice outfits (which took awhile) then everyone was hanging out outside waiting and Cody came up to me and said "We have a little bit longer to wait until sunset, do you want to go on a golf cart ride, just the two of us?". So I agreed and we hopped in the golf cart and took a ride up the road to The Eagle. Then on our way back, the wind blew all the dust from the road into the golf cart getting dust in our eyes and all over our clothes (mind you I am wearing white).

Once we got back to the cabin (and dusted ourselves off) I looked around and saw no one outside. So I asked Cody "Where did everyone go? They were all outside when we left?". And he said "Oh I don't know", and he took my hand and led me through the backyard to the edge of the lake. He then asked, "Where should we take these pictures?". By this time everyone all day had been asking me, where do you think a good place to take picures would be? So I was starting to get a bit frustrated and I replied "I don't know, you could do it here or here", and as I turned back to look at him, he had reached down into the rocks to grab the ring box and he knelt down on one knee and he asked me to marry him! And I of course said YES! It was amazing, the cabin is a special place to us since we have been going up there with Cody's family for years so it was the perfect place to start the rest of our lives together.
