We're getting Married!

Our first date was supposed to be trivia at a brewery, but in typical Minnesota fashion, a snowstorm hit. We met up later that week for happy hour at Steel Toe Brewing, which turned into hours of talking, which turned into Em taking Jake to experience his first ever Chipotle burrito (Yes, she was shocked too!).

We headed up to the North Shore on Friday morning for a long weekend of peak fall color adventures. That afternoon, we set off towards the Oberg Mountain trailhead, Emily's favorite hike. We almost turned around in the trail parking lot due to Em's still-recovering knee, but Jake insisted we give it a try. He chose a spot where we were all alone and surrounded by fall color on the trail, then got down on one knee and popped the question. She said yes! We spent the rest of the weekend exploring state parks, visiting wineries and breweries, and saying the word "fiance".
