Hookitt and Brits17

Alrighty, storytime :)
So no shit there I was...
Riding on the tram across the Royal Gorge canyon to attend the dinner Saturday evening. When all of a sudden, halfway through the ride, Tim exclaims "Brittany I love you!" I was a little startled, the tram had a few folks on it. I smiled and was about to say "well I love you too" when he proceeds to get down on one knee. I just about go into cardiac arrest at this point. He busts out the ring, and asks "will you marry me?" The only words I could muster were "are you serious?!" He said "very." I said, "yes!"

The folks on the tram gave us a congrats, and of course we were all smiles. Did it really happen? Of course, its on video.

Tim later told me the original plan. We were going to do a 3 way jump from the tram. I was the 2nd puller, and upon exit he was going to ask. Unfortunately the winds started smokin and the load was called off. Nonetheless, I am the happiest a woman can possibly be. Again, what an amazing weekend.

The original plan was just as Brittany wrote. I was kinda scared to do it in freefall only because that canyon is one of THE-MOST intimidating landing zones I've seen.

The winds caught up with us. I want us to spend the rest of our lives together so rather then risk having it be only 30 more seconds, we didn't jump.

I will always remember the look on Brittany's face when I kneeled down.

Traveling with a lap top and a digital camera will do that. Why in the world do you think I wanted the perfect picture of you two?

An engaged BASE couple, FF couple, riggers, swoopers...Their kids aren't going to be able to do anything cool, they'll be too scared as parents to let them climb on top of the roof...:P:P:P



BWAHAHHAA.....it will be just like if hook and I ever reproduce. Guaranteed ground crew!!

Congrats Tim and Brit, sorry we couldn't make it to CC, but it's a little hard to take Derek to a DZ in CO these days.
Fly it like you stole it!
