Montana then to Idaho and then the Proposal :)


On our way to fly fish for the first time in Dillon Montana


Zac's favorite fishing hole, and it was BEAUTIFUL

My love and I


No, I did not catch this fish...Zac did but he wanted me to feel it and see what it was like to hold a fish. I didn't like the feel of it all that much, and I obiously don't know how to hold a fish. :)


Ghost Town : Bannack, Montana...and very cool...I wish I could get married in the old church bldg here as it was very cool. :)

They are so cute together, and she is a great Grandma!

He is such a character, just like his Father!



Look at all the people, we picked a really busy day apparently but it was wonderful






May Family Ranch in Clayton Idaho...Toomer/Anderson Family Reunion...we had a great time. Not a lot of pictures but we have video. :)

We were off to Montana on the 27th for a visit to Dillon to spend a week with Zac's parents. It was wonderful and we fell in love with all of it. Zac was able to get a little fishing in, as it's an annual vacation he looks forward to all year. Alexander LOVES playing with Farmor and Farfar, he is still going through withdrawals since coming home. I also enjoyed my time with Zac's parents and I could not ask for a better family to join. Kerstin (Zac's Mother) took me around and showed me some of the most amazing places of Montana by Dillon. They were even kind enough to take me to Yellowstone park where we enjoy the view and I was able to meet Zac's Aunt Jo who owns a pizza place in town. Zac even took me fly fishing for the first time. Zac tells me I'm a natural but I wonder if he is just saying that so I will want to continue my lessons from him. :) Actually I really enjoyed fly fishing and I look forward to the day that I get my own pole. I didn't catch anything but Zac did and quite a few times. I guess I was too slow on my grab...and kept missing the fish. Montana is very beautiful and I will not be surprised that when the time comes we would really like to settle in Montana or Idaho...either place would be just fine for me!

Then on Friday morning Zac, Alexander, and I left for Clayton, Idaho where my family reunion was taking place at the place called May Family Ranch. It was beautiful and very fun. We didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked but we have video and I will have to try and download that later. On July 4th we had a family skit night and Zac surprised me with FINALLY proposing to me in front of all my family. It was great, he was so brave and it did take me by surprise. I really didn't think he was the kind of guy to be so public and yet the family loved it and it was a highlight. Eveyone asked me if I cried and I was surprised that I didn't, it wasn't until it was all over that I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I wanted to start crying. I love my ring, and I couldn't ask for a better future husband. I feel so blessed and loved by all that he does for me and his support. I will include the pictures of our trip and work on getting video up as well.
