Cheree and I had started talking about getting married about 6 weeks prier. I loved talking about it, but it never seemed to be real. I couldn't imagine the thought of actually being married and eventually starting a family. the idea just seemed so adult and mature (something I never really considered myself to be). Despite my the lack of maturity, I knew that Cheree was the girl for me. We started making plans to be married pretty fast, scheduling the reception hall, going through our future budget, etc.
Now the time had come to make plans for the proposal. Since our ring was going to be finished two days before Valentines, I decided to make that our day(I know, super cliche). Going somewhere unique was very important to me so I made plans to go to The Midway Crater, a natural hot spring with cave walls around it and a hole at the top.
After swimming in the Crater for about an hour we changed and prepared for our next adventure. Down the street from the Crater is a little park called Midway Ice Castles where, during the winter, they create large ice structures.
Walking through at night can be amazing with all the structures lit up.
While walking through one of the ice rooms, I asked Cheree if she would spend forever with me.
And she said Yes!
