I told Laura that I wanted to take her out tonight.  So I picked her up from her house, but didn't tell her where we were going... I like to surprise her, but she usually guesses anyway (she's too smart).  Well, about half way to Gates Pass (where we had our first date in Tucson), sure enough, she guessed where we were heading.  Luckily though, I still had another trick up my sleeve, rather, a ring in my pocket.  When we got there I spotted my friend Aaron hiding in the brush pretending to be a wildlife photographer;  he was kind enough to take photo's of the whole thing.  We headed up a trail a little ways to where there would be no one else and I knew Aaron could get some good photo's.  We chatted for a few minutes, and then I started with my "speech".  Laura, thinking we were still just chatting and still having no idea what was really going on, kept chiming in and interrupting me.  I continued to become more nervous because now I had to remember what I wanted to say to her.  Finally, I got all my words out, and asked her, "Will you marry me?"  After her surprised look, she shouted "YES!"  The photo's below tell the story.
