Caitlin and Andrew vs. The World
Caitlin swooped into Montana for a few days to catch that solar eclipse thing with me. Butte > Norris > Polaris > Darby.
We battled a bit of traffic, found some random dirt road, climbed up to a ridge (which we’d later find out was DoE property), and waited… The temperature dropped, the wind picked up, and we watched a sunset as the sun hovered high in the sky.
And then, right as the sky became completely dark, I asked her to marry me. She said yes. š š š š š
I carried the ring for 2000 miles. Always packing it first thing into my pack in the mornings. We drank a celebratory beer as the moon was still partially eclipsing the sun, feeling at peace, and excited. Total eclipse of the heart stuck in our heads as the radio DJs couldn’t stop talking about it.
Celebratory dinner, Montana style.
We are so happy š
Couldn’t imagine anything being more perfect for you both. Huge congratulations and can’t wait to celebrate!
How tremendously exciting. So happy for the both of you! P.
