It's true...Todd and I are growing up

Well, Todd and I are getting married! And yes, I am so freakin' excited. Also, I was not expecting it at all to happen where it did. Here is the story:

First, we must gaze back into the past and go to our first week of CBC. Todd and I were sitting on a bench in Estes Park and I asked Todd "Who do you like?" Todd then replied "Ah, I'm keeping my options open."

Come back to the present. Todd takes me to this same bench in Estes Park on July 19. He then gives me my birthday present which was an adorable photo album of our dating together. But, there were four blank pages in the back of it. He says "I thought we could fill those with pictures from today." I say okay. Then he gets my attention and says "Oh, and by the way, I'm not keeping my options open anymore." Then, he pulls out the ring from his far side and asks me to marry him!

It was wonderful, nostalgic, and completely caught me off guard. Of all the places I thought he might propose, this one was the best.

Disappointed

I feel like this year had been a year of disappointments. Turns out, the year isn't over and the disappointments keep coming. It hurts every time.
