Camping, Muskies and Special "Lures"

Working, running my eBay store, finishing up my Career Development Facilitator Class, getting ready for my last semester of my Master's which means finishing the thesis. It's all a bunch of craziness. Sam has been working laboriously on the landscaping at the house. I'll add those pics next. In the meantime, we went camping this weekend. I'm so tired, I don't have the energy to write this blog! We went up to camp at Star Lake in Northern Wisconsin. Those two camp grounds were full. We finally found some spots on some lake's campground whose name escapes me right now. Ha! Razorback Lake. Did some musky fishing but didn't even get a bite!!!!

Sunday we hooked up with Sam's buddy Josh Ostertag at his cabin on Two Sister's Lake. Took a ride on Josh's pontoon, Sam did some rope diving. I'll add those pics later. Stayed the night at Josh's, then Monday we headed over to another lake whose name escapes me. Is that the right word? Is it who's or whose? ...........

Anyways, we went fishing some more and were able to catch SOME bass at least. Here are our pics...

And look! Notice something on my hand? Ha!! Apparently when I went fishing with Sammy, he gave me something extra for bait!!! He bated my musky rod then handed the pole to me. As I went to cast, he told me to check out my bate first. I grabbed it and noticed that there was a fun lure on there that said: "Musky Killer." He had been gloating all weekend about how he was going to take me to a lake where I could catch my first musky. I laughed at the lure and went to cast. He got my attention again, I turned around and looked at him and he said to me: "Will you marry me Amy?" I was taken aback, but said: "sure?" I thought it was a joke! After seeing the look of confusion on my face, he told me to look at my lure again. I said: "I DID!" Then he actually had to come up and grab the lure and show me that there was a cute engagement ring attached to it. Then I finally got it. Oh, it was a REAL proposal??! I thought he was joking around!!!!! I even grabbed the actual ring the first time I looked at the lure. It was in my hand and I didn't even notice. After I realized what was going on, I thought it was soooo sweet and cute!!! I'm such a dork who never pays attention to my surroundings. Ha! Do you want a close up pic of the ring? Answer the pole up on the top right of this page. Or, you can just click on the pic above and it should show you a close up of the ring.

Awww....so later on we caught some more fish. And here is our fancy pic that we took on the day of our engagement....


And for the record, Sam claims to be the worst guy for romance, but when I hugged him after he proposed, he was shaking. He tried to say that it was because he was excited, but we all know the truth!
