As our relationship has grown, so have our passions for new things and new aventures together . In September 2023 we planned a 2 day backpacking trip to Daniel Boone National Forest. We knew this was going to be one of the most difficult things we had ever endured both mentally and physically. We hiked all day the first day and set up camp , making our presence know in the event of bears. The next morning we were out of drinking water , but Chris was determined to make sure I had water for my coffee when I woke up . After scaling a side of the mountain to get to our source, we were back up with water . He purified the water and presented my coffee too me , I sat on a log in the middle of the forest, sipping my coffee enjoying the moment when he pulled out a little box , got down on one knee , both of us dirty , covered in mud , exhausted , and on the side of that mountain, he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. And of course , I said YES! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
