November 15th, 2008 was a beautiful day which worked out perfect for Trav's plan to take me to Hardware Ranch. We couldn't have asked for better weather! (Little did I know Travis had a few more plans for the day besides just hiking!) Travis told me he'd pick me up at 10 and not to be late, so I was ready to go when he came and we headed up beautiful Blacksmith Fork Canyon. When we got up to the Ranch we walked along the main trail and then at a certain spot Travis lead us off the trail and we started hiking further up. We made it to the top of one pretty steep hill and I began to wonder if he had something up his sleeve, but when he turned right around and headed back down the hill, I told myself I was crazy for getting my hopes up!:) However, on our way down, he led me to a certain tree where a big white box of flowers was sitting,(which were my favorite flowers by the way!)along with a little picnic. The ring was tied on top of the flowers. It was there, with a beautiful view, that Travis got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I couldn't have asked for a better engagement story! We're so excited and I sure feel lucky! :) -Britt
