Another one bites the dust......

BGbasbhat · Aug 3, 2009

Well, my girlfriend and I got engaged this past Friday!! It was a complete surprise, since only her parents and my sister knew. Believe it or not she said yes, and we are getting hitched here after hunting season (gotta schedule, you know!!).

Anyways, we camped on Locust Point in the Kaibab, about 10 yards from the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Beer in hand, watching the sunset over the big ditch, I asked her.

The weekend was great, and we got to look for some deer too! How could it get any better?

What is she a tad crazy or what,Her folks could put her a Mental Inst. just because she said yes.

I'd really like to say "congratulations" BG, but instead my condolences are what come to mind.

hahahaha, thanks fellas. I wouldn't expect anything less from y'all.
You got it Feleno!! Nah, that's just how much of a hoosier I am. No shirt, beer in hand, her drinking some cheap wine, and she still said yes?!?!?!?! I did put the beer down to ask her though.

Agreed. My wife and I have spent five happy years together. That ain't bad, considering we've been married only 49 years. }>

good deal and congrats

BGbasbhat · Aug 3, 2009

Thanks all! Yeah, she's a great chick, and loves to be out camping and hunting....at least that's what she tells me now...

But the weekend was great up there. It was dry; but the aspens and grass were going strong and it was fun to hike around in. I still cant get over that burn area midway down the 67 though. Crazy.

Super cool. She is a hoot...definitely got yourself a good one. Congratulations to you both.

And up on the Kaibab nonetheless. Had to be a pretty cool moment for sure.

Best of luck to you both...

Way to go Barrett. If she will let you put the 30-378 on the Wedding gift registry then she is a keeper. Good luck.

"Thanks all! Yeah, she's a great chick, and loves to be out camping and hunting...."

With any luck, that will change!

Congratulations, you both look very happy!

Oh yeah, I've dropped the hint about the 30-378 engagement present for me. I mean wtf? The ring I got her is like 20x as expensive as mine. I think I deserve something, I mean come on!!

I guess the good thing is, now we can take a "romantic anniversary" scouting trip up to the Kaibab every year!

logslinger · Aug 5, 2009

Congrats BG. You look like you have a nice ring and soft hands in the pic.

nickman · Aug 5, 2009

Very nice! Lovely Lady!

********DO NOT FORGET******

...."open season" for child planning is the same as "open season" for deer hunting.

All birthdays, anniversaries and funerals, need to happen outside of the months of Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec. And if you use arrows, you have to cut the "window" to include Aug and give up some of Dec.

Proper planning is critical in this regard.
