It was the last day of school after a really tough year. My best friends Heather and Richard decided to take me out for an evening on the town at a new local restaurant. While taking advantage of happy hour specials, the hunky Ben swooped in and mentioned that he got his engineering degree at UT when Peyton Manning was playing. That was all I needed to hear. End of story.
After a pandemic-ridden semester at school, Ben decided we should get away to the mountains of Gatlinburg. We rented a cute little cottage on the mountainside that was fully decorated for Christmas. There was a gorgeous Christmas tree and a glowing fireplace. Ben laid out an impressive charcuterie platter and we enjoyed the hot tub for a while. Then, he said he had one more surprise for me. We went inside where he popped a bottle of champagne and turned on one of our favorite Christmas movies, A Christmas Story. Before I knew it, he was down on one knee and presented me with most beautiful ring that has ever existed on this planet. I am so excited to marry him!
We combined households in December of 2020, and have since purchased a beautiful home in Kingston Springs, TN. The house belonged to our friend, David, who invited us over to swim last year. We kept inviting ourselves back and fell in love with this house. Ben has worked extremely hard to renovate and create our dream home. Next time you're nearby, let us know! We love to host!
