• the proposal

  Matt surprised Kimberly on January 21st, 2012 while they were up ice fishing on Lake of the Woods with her parents, Randy and Kathy. It was fairly soon after they got out to the fishhouse that Kimberly decided she had to go to the bathroom. While she was gone, Matt managed to put a metal cutout of a walleye on her fishing line. When she returned, Kimberly was mildly upset (keep in mind that it's a tradition to put something heavy on fishing lines while left unattended in the Kladivo fish house to trick people into thinking they have a fish on) and told Matt how funny he was. But whatever was on her line didn't feel like dead weight so she thought maybe it was a fish. She tried to set the hook and reeled up the cutout. She was completely oblivious as Matt went down on one knee as the fish spun to the side that read "Will you marry me?". After a scream of utter surprise, instant tears, and jumbled words: she said yes!
