Game 7 of the World Series, bottom of the 9
th, 2 outs, full count. Yeah, I would say that’s one of the biggest moments of a baseball player’s life. Well, I am no baseball player, but I had one of these life-changing moments a few weeks ago.
It was the culmination of two years of hard work. And, this day was no walk in the park either. As we embarked on an epic journey up Mt. Evans in Colorado, the raging storm clouds rolled in, the rain began to fall, and hail made an unwelcomed appearance. We sought refuge in a cave on the side of the mountain while the storm rocked the mountain. I began to sweat. My nerves were out of control. My mind began to race. The one day in my life I needed sunshine and clears skies, the apocalypse decided to happen.
I had been planning this day for 3 months and this action packed thunderstorm was not in the plans. However, as the saying goes, “if you don’t like the weather in Colorado, wait 15 minutes.” All of a sudden, the rain ceased. The sun broke through the enormous thunderheads and illuminated the entire sky.
As we headed toward the brilliant summit lake, I couldn’t help but start to get nervous. This was my time to shine - this is what all the hard work was about. I took a deep breath, reached into my backpack and took a knee. I then uttered the phrase that would change my life forever, “Leslie, will you marry me?”
Needless to say I hit a homerun, won the game and the entire stadium went nuts! Brad the Intern is ENGAGED! There are moments like these that words can’t describe. It was just a few brief seconds but the emotions contained wouldn’t fit in the great American Novel.
We’ve all have had moments that take our breath away – A moment where we experienced such amazing beauty we were struck with awe. So c’mon I shared, its your town now!
