Engagement Bliss in Zion


On May 15th Eric and I traveled down to Zion National Park for the day to go hiking, little did I know that the Emerald Pools trail (hiked many times by our family) included a diamond ring. We started the hike more in the evening so the temperature was perfect and the views absolutely beautiful. For those who having been on the Emerald Pools hike, you hike to 3 different pools, about 3 miles round trip. The last pool has a waterfall streaming off a cliff from the mountain into it. After making it to the last pool and resting for awhile we decided to head back. Right then Eric had me face the pool and pulled out a letter. After reading his letter I turned around and Eric as on his knee with a gorgeous diamond ring in his hand. He asked me to marry him and of course I said yes. This proposal also came complete with a crowd of cheering hikers...Well, the rest is history I suppose. We traveled down to Grandma and Grandpa Bohn's that night where they were both in a frenzy from having their kitchen ripped apart and grandpa keeping busy by giving us the "what for's" and "what ya ought do's".
In the long run, it was the perfect place for a propsal and we both couldn't be happier. Hope everyone can make it....save the date for August 6th!
