I want to open my own non-profit organization that helps take inner city kids to enjoy activities in the outdoors such as hiking, snowboarding, camping, learning about environmental issues, etc.

Opening my own non-profit
Thursday, January 24th, 2008A New Adventure
Sunday, January 13th, 2008On 11.10.07, my best friend asked me to share in the adventure of a lifetime and be his wife! Of course I said YES :)
We drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park to enjoy some of the last nice days of the fall. As we were driving through the Morraine Park area of the park, Joe asked if we could pull over to the side and take some pictures. Morraine Park is a beautiful valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The elk typically gather in this area of the park as well.
We got out of the car and crossed over a creek that was running along side of the road. We had previously tried to cross this creek early in the summer, but without success due to the current. Once we crossed over the creek, we decided to scramble up some rocks to reach the top of a small mound that was in the middle of the valley.
As we were sitting on the rocks, Joe began to tell me the things about me that he appreciated and loved. I might add, that he was being extremely sweet and cute while he was telling me these things too :) Between each sentence, he was giving me kisses.
At one point, Joe got nervous and started stumbling on his words. I got butterflies in my tummy at this point, in anticipation of what he was going to say next.
In the most beautiful moment of my life, and in my relationship with Joe, he got down on one knee and asked me to share in the adventure of a lifetime with him and be his wife. And I said YES!!
Joe surprised me even further by sneaking champagne into the park and we had a celebration toast.
It was a beautiful day :)
