This 2006 Labor Day, with perfect sunny weather and the help of two good friends, I took Kelly to Fairhaven Park (Bellingham, WA) under the premise of Geocaching. When we came to our final "cache" of the day (around 1:30PM), the GPS led the two of us to one of our favorite spots - a bench that overlooks the park - and I asked her to marry me. As you might have guessed, she said "yes"! We walked down to another favorite spot close to the park, prayed together, and returned to a wonderful spread of food, drinks, and gifts. We both have been looking forward to one day getting engaged, though we both still found it so surreal at moments. God continues to catch us off guard, and draw us closer to Himself as we desire more and more to honor and love each other in better and deeper ways. He truly is the good and loving gift-giver!
