Camping Trip

This is how my fiancé proposed to me and I have never heard of anything better.

He told me that we were going to his camp on the lake to spend the day and go for a canoe ride around the lake.

We arrived at the camp and walked in the front door. There was note card dangling from a string that said, "Amber Follow Me."

The string went out the other door of the camp and there was another note card taped to the door that said, "This is the string of our life. Let's see where it takes you."

I opened the door and there was string all over the yard, into the woods, down on the beach, and in the neighbor's yard.

I began to follow the string.

The next card said, "This is the road to our future. You will never have to take it alone."

I then followed the string onto the beach where the card said, "Our love is like the sand on this beach. It will always be there, strong as ever, no matter what."

I continued on through the forest, where a note told me, "My love for you is like this forest, endless and growing."

After a good 1/4 mile of string I ended up down on the dock and read the last note, "And this is where our journey together will continue and start."

I turned around and he was walking down the path to the dock. When he got there he got down on one knee, with a beautiful ring and said, "Will you marry me?"

After much crying, and a hug that nearly crushed him, I obviously said YES.
