The view from the end of the runway – it quickly became one of our favorite haunts. |

It was one of our first selfies… guys, don’t judge. We got in lots of practice later. And in that VERY SPOT. |

I LOVE the way my Mom decorates for Thanksgiving, btw. <3 |

I LOVE that cute olive sign that my Mom picked up at Hobby Lobby and hung on the kitchen wall – I hate olives, but I adore puns, and isn’t that the most precious thing?! |
He asked about Thanksgiving morning – could we go hiking then? There’s a relatively easy trail that goes up a nearby mountain to a gorgeous view. We’d done it with friends during the summer we weren’t talking to each other (slightly awkward, okay). That trail would be steep and icy, but I readied myself for the challenge. I told him I usually helped Mom with Thanksgiving dinner all morning, but when I asked her about having the morning to spend with Mason, she seemed unusually willing to let me off the hook. I mean, it’s true – I hadn’t helped in five years, but still!

Isn’t that view gorgeous?? I’m telling you… he was probably REALLY glad I was taking pictures and being *slightly* distracted. |
“Mmhmm…” I looked at the mountains for a few seconds and then I got bored and turned around to face him again. His hand was on my back, but his face was suddenly not a few inches above mine. I was SO confused and glanced down to find him with one knee in the snow – one hand in mine, and a shiny diamond ring in his other.
“Yes, Hannah, that’s why I have a ring and I’m down on one knee.” (I don’t know if he actually said that, but I’m sure that’s what he was thinking)

FIRST ENGAGED COUPLE SELFIES!! (okay I’ll calm down) |
And I didn’t cry. SO proud of myself.

We stopped by Mason’s family’s place, and while he helped his dad with a quick chore, I tried to take a ring selfie with the cat. EPIC FAIL, Ingrid-or-Astrid…. whatever your name is. |
PS – I’m an engaged woman.
I like the way that sounds.

*SQUEALS SO LOUDLY AS TO ATTRACT ATTENTION FROM MY CAT* 😀 I think YES YES YES!!! ;D You are adorbs, my dear girl, and I am SO SO SO SO happy for you! Congratulations, Hannah! <3
Land sakes – it is a small world out here in the rurals of WA!
So, you are marrying my former instructor, you two saw my tallGuy in all his hairy no-shave November glory, and then you posed with one of my son's former kittens (that I tried to give you this summer but gave to the A-clan instead).
OH, what I really meant to say is CONGRATS to the moon and back – we are so happy for both of you!
