Derek and Kelsey met while working at Dell and after 3 years of dating Derek proposed last March on a hike down to Hamilton Pool. Kelsey just
thought they were going exploring but Derek had something else planned.
Kelsey said " Derek was
planning this proposal for about a month, and at this point had the ring for a
little over a week. Needless to
say, he was nervous and just wanted to pop the question, but Kelsey did not have
a clue.
Hamilton's
pool is a collapsed grotto and canyon, formed by thousands of years of water
erosion. A unique natural area surrounds this pool, with Lush plant communities, a variety of wildlife species
and natural shelter attracted the area's first inhabitants. Cultural remains
date back over 8,000 years. It is
defininetly a sight to see if you are ever in Austin - BEAUTIFUL!
As Derek and
Kelsey were site seeing around the pool, Derek took the camera from Kelsey and
told her to stare out at the water for a "planned action pose"
picture. Of course, Kelsey jumped
on this opportunity, (if you have ever seen her sister's blog, you would know
that Kelsey does not take good action shots :). When Kelsey turned around, Derek was on one knee with a ring. His words were simple and true, and
full of love, "Kelsey I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with
you. Will you Marry Me?"
