July 14th at about 7pm
Melis was on the office phone at the Alaska Mountaineering School talking to Caitlin about the rations necessary for their next expedition (meanwhile Joey was out back drinking a beer- gaining courage for the big question).
Joey walked into the office and looked antsy. He asked to speak to Caitlin and then got on the phone and said, "Hey Caitlin, do you mind if Melis calls you back in 5 minutes?" Then Joey hung up.
Next, Joey got down on one knee and took my hand. He said, "Melis, I am sure there is probably a better time and place for this, and when that time comes I will ask you again, but I have to do this right now." (His voice was shaky) "Melis I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?"
I was surprised and taken off guard. I could hardly believe the words coming out of his mouth. However, I think I was still able to answer with a big "Of course!" before Joey had hardly finished his sentence.
We then went outside to smooch and get some fresh air as Joey's legs regained their strength.
"The spot" is now marked on the floor of the office with a piece of duct-tape.
We currently don't have a plan or wedding date set so stay tuned........
