Celebrating Betrothment

Today while on a rafting trip on the Deschutes river, Matt asked for Leslie’s hand in marriage. Two very friendly and sweet people with a passion for the outdoors, so it was only fitting that he ask her while in his kiyak. This was some very welcome news as the rest of the day was the most unreal ordeal. Prior to meeting them at the camp spot by the river, we got the “arizona squeeze” from the state police who pulled us over because we were riding in a van without seatbelts (or seats for that matter). Less than a mile from the put in spot (and one hour’s drive to the nearest town) Justin’s van got a flat tire. Certainly a culmination of events I won’t forget anytime soon.
