Default Cherokee Kid got engaged

You guys have NO IDEA... I know Leah a little and she is amazing...
She has spent weeks not only in the boundary waters but on freeking
Hudsons Bay where humans are not on the top of the food chain, out of
contact with civilization, living out of a canoe hundreds of miles
from the nearest road. She went cross country skiing with me one
night when it was 10 below F (without the wind chill) here in Iowa
when no one else would even think of going outside. She took about 5
minutes of trailer towing lessons and took off after Tony with hardly
a shrug. She's logged a fair number of hours of dual given and maybe
even more as Tony's co-pilot. She might solo one of these days if she
can fit it into her active schedule of engineering and rowing crew
duties. She's interested in flying, but not easily dazzled. She is
one cool customer and a sweetheart too. Tony is a lucky guy.
