He asked me to go on a bike ride…

I’m a sucker for bike rides; of course I said yes.

We rode for a bit and stopped at Settler’s Park, where we parked our bikes. He asked if I wanted to hike up the Red Rocks trail.

I’m a sucker for hikes; of course I said yes.

At the top of the trail, there were some rocks to scramble up. He asked if I wanted to climb the rocks for a better view.

I’m a sucker for rocks; of course I said yes.

As we were perched atop the rocks, watching the sun set behind us and all of Boulder spread out at our feet, he asked me to be his wife.

I’m a sucker for him; of course I said yes.

Here’s to many more bike rides together and a host of new adventures!
