Corey and I met in the spring of '08 and moved in together 6 months later--he drove cross-country in the dead of winter to help move me from Tennessee to Colorado! We bought rings over the summer, and as of this past Tuesday we have a one-month old daughter, Chloe Jane. We've done everything in topsy-turvy order, obviously :P
Today Corey's sweet mom, Brenda, watched Chloe while we went on our first proper date since her birth. We ate a relaxed late breakfast and then went hiking in a gorgeous canyon on the National Monument just outside of town. It had just rained and the fall colors and lichen-covered boulders were glowing with color. Corey clambered down a shortcut while I took the switchback (I'm skinny again but my muscles are pansies still!), and when I rounded the corner, he dropped on one knee in front of me with the whole canyon at my feet! I only stuttered a couple times before answering, "I'd be delighted to!"--but that's because I practiced, lol.
Yay! Now on to battle over the date of the wedding. I want summer a year and a half from now, and he wants this winter!
