Not the greatest picture, but isn't it pretty?!? It's absolutely perfect! 1/2 a carat, solitaire, princess cut, white gold band. It was a little tight at first because my fingers were swollen from hiking, but now I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning.
It was July 20th, our 6th day at the park and our 3rd day at our second campsite at Rising Sun. We were going on a hike starting from Sun Point to see 3 waterfalls: Baring Falls, St. Mary Falls, and Virginia Falls. It was pretty dreary that day and and rained off an on. It was also kind of windy and cold. But I figured it would be worth it to have a nice hike and see some beautiful waterfalls. I had know clue what was about to happen.
We hiked along the trail and stopped at Baring Falls first. It was pretty cool, but kind of small so we didn't stay long. Here's a picture:

We hiked on and soon we approached St. Mary falls which was much larger and more impressive. Here's a picture of it!

| See what I mean? Gorgeous huh? |
As we took in the beauty of the falls and snapped a few pictures Brian suggested we sit for awhile on a nearby rock and enjoy the view. I agreed and scooted up beside him. He rested his head on my shoulder as he said, "I'm just going to put my head right here." I said, "okay," as I reached up to put my finger on the dimple on his chin like I often do. I said, "I'm just going to touch "my spot."" Right after I said this Brian reached into his pocket and pulled out this:
He said, "How would you like it to be your spot forever?" At this point I was starting to think something big was about to happen, but was still very confused. I kept trying to ask, "What are you doing?" But all that would come out was, "Wah...wah...wah..." Brian pulled out the most beautiful ring I've ever seen from the bag and said, "Sarah Michelle Moore, will you marry me?" I finally able to speak and I spat out, "Are you serious right now?!?" Brian replied, "Yeah I'm serious!" And then I said, "Yes! Of course!" He put the ring on my finger and I bawled my eyes out.
We were able to ask a guy nearby to take our picture on the rock:

Afterward we decided to skip the third waterfall and hike back. We were hungry and had to pee and we had just gotten freakin' engaged! I was so excited! I wanted to tell my mom and Kaleigh ASAP. Which wasn't very soon seeing as we had NO cell service. I was so excited to tell SOMEONE that I ended up telling the older couple camping across from us on the hike back! It was pretty funny!
For the rest of the day I did a lot of this:

| And this..... |
 |
| And this..... |
 |
| And lets face it I'm still doing a lot of this. |
His proposal was everything I could of dreamed of. I was completely surprised, he asked me in front of a beautiful waterfall, and I had no way to call anyone or Facebook right away. I was completely in the moment.
Now we're back home and I've got wedding on the brain. I've been looking at The Knot and magazines getting all sorts of ideas. I even found a picture of a dress I like and want to try on! I know we've got awhile before we need to start working on wedding stuff. I really don't want to rush through our engagement, but I think we're looking at next August maybe. I'm sure you will read all about it on here!
I will post more pictures of Glacier later, but I'd like to leave you with, what I think, is the prettiest one.
