WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED

We went camping at East Fork State Park for the weekend. Arrived Friday afternoon and set up camp just before it stormed. On Saturday we woke up made a nice, big breakfast--well at least a big breakfast maybe not so nice. It was a beautiful day so we headed to the beach. We spent half the day floating in the lake and the rest hiking through the beautiful woods surrounding it. We made campers dinners (GTC style) and headed off to Mark's 1st drive in movie (there was a drive-in theater right across from the entrance to the park). It was about 11:30 when the movie was over and we got back to the campsite. Neither one of us were tired yet, so we built a big fire for toasting marshmallows. While Shannon was looking for good marshmallow sticks Mark was getting "everything else" ready. We got all the important s'mores ingredients out but we realized the graham crackers were missing. Flashlight in hand, Shannon headed back to the Jeep to find them. When she got back there was a bottle of champagne and two glasses sitting near the fire. Shannon looked at Mark and made a joke about eating graham crackers and champagne. When Shannon sat down next to Mark near the fire he dropped on one knee and, knocking the flashlight out of her hands, grabbed both of them tight. Mark said some very nice things and then asked his question, "Shannon, Will you marry me?" Preoccupied with the excitement of the moment Mark didn't hear her answer until the ring was on her finger and he asked a second time. "YES! Of Course!"
