Dear readers,
You are now part of the inner circle of people aware that I will be proposing to our lovely host of the Borrowed Abode. If all has gone according to plan, she is clueless as to my intentions for whisking her away on this camping trip. Barring any problems (such as she comes to her senses) (or gets eaten by a bear) (or a hunting accident) she will be returning home engaged.
Do not try to contact her. It will be futile. We already agreed on a communication blackout for the weekend. If that doesn’t work I will be eating her phone. And the buzzing would make me uncomfortable.
All I have to add at this point is that the blog will probably get a lot more interesting in the next few months…and I’m awesome.
Wish me luck!
Ryan
Psst: Curious to hear how it all turned out? Or maybe you just want to see the ring? Hop right over here!

HOLY CRAAAAAAAAP
*squee!!!* This is so exciting!
Amazing! Pretty sure she will love that you put it on her blog! Best of luck to you both!
OMG, OMG! EEee….. can’t wait til ya’ll are back! Safe, and happy travels! And I love that you blogged this for us! 🙂
Wow! Have fun and congrats. 🙂 This is very exciting!
It seems like your plan is better than my “proposal”, which consisted of me asking my now husband, “when the hell are we getting married?” after being together for 12 years. haha
Awww…. you’re adorable! I hope you have practiced your “smoulder” for the big moment. Good luck!
YAH!!! So awesome! 🙂
Ryan – YOU ARE AWESOME! I love that you just did this.
Ack! How exciting! She’d better say yes, or you’ll be publicly humiliated in front of these people that you’ll probably never have to face in real life. This is how my proposal went: J: hey, we could get married. Me: ok. 5 days later we signed the paperwork. Woo-hoo for mad romance!
This.Is.Awesome. 🙂
I called it when she said there was a romantic camping trip!
Best. Proposal. Ever! Awesome!
Totally awesome! Love that you announced it here! CONGRATS!

I love Ryan posts on The Borrowed Abode. Hey congratulations!!!! It was so fun to have dinner last night and talk weddings with Jane last night here in LA.
Oh now THIS is the cutest thing ever! I assume it went well! Hahaha. I take a brief break from my Reader, and then check my Pinterest and see Jane’s pinning all these wedding dresses and I’m like “Better check the actual blog- something seems to have happened!” Oh, man. The internet: providing about a million different ways to learn of life’s big happenings. Sorry for the ramblings. I’m very happy for you two and look forward to more weddingy posts! (Along with all the regular stuff!)
