we hiked into the breadloaf wilderness on april 28th, 2005. we hiked and hiked, trying to get to the top of a mountain. we ran into snow...cold and deep snow. we trudged on. the dog began to whimper. we hiked on. the sun started to go down and we decided to go back down the mountain a bit too...to get out of the deep snow. we made camp lower down in a warmer clearing. we were chilled to the bone. we ate a quick dinner. the dog was shivering with teeth chattering by the time we all got into the tent. we slept occasionally waking to move more clothes onto the wet and smelly dog.
in the morning, the sun was dazzling. steam rose from the ground, our clothes, the dog :). we ate a comfortable breakfast and drank glorious coffee. then, suddenly ray was on a knee and we were both teary eyed as he paused, a question dangling in the air.
i said yes!
happiness and joy! the sun sparkled. the dog barked. we took pictures!
