Both of our churches (Kate's in Fort Collins
and John's in Boulder) happened to attend
the same apologetics conference in Laramie,
Wyoming in April of 2006. After a weekend
full of theology, talking over late-night
card games and a couple slices of pie at
the local Village Inn, we went home our
separate ways. John, however, being the
smart guy he is, took note of a concert
that Kate mentioned she was going to the
next weekend and brought a few friends up
from Boulder with him to see it too. The
concert itself was actually pretty terrible,
but it worked perfectly as an excuse for
us to see each other again! The next day
Kate went to Boulder and for our first "official"
date we did some hiking and picnicking up
around Flagstaff Mountain.

On March 10, 2007, we had planned to spend the day in Colorado Springs visiting some friends. When they called and cancelled that morning, pleading "sickness," the two of us suddenly found ourselves with an entire day with no plans (as far as Kate knew). John suggested driving up into the mountains and doing a little bit of hiking, so we set off. We stopped at a few places, took some pictures, and finally made our way to the spot we had picnicked at on our first date — a beautiful amphitheatre overlooking all of Boulder valley. John went to set the camera up for another shot, and instead of coming back and standing next to Kate, he went down on one knee and got a picture of himself proposing! After the shock had worn off a little (and Kate had said yes, of course!) we made our way back down the mountain and stopped in the Boulder Café for lunch, where Kate got another surprise — all of our friends and family waiting there to celebrate with us — even the "sick" ones! |
