we're tying the knot!

one cold night on January 14th 2018, huddled around a bonfire at The Pour Haus in New Braunfels, two Souls became one. His hair swooped back like James Dean, and my jacket lined with fur and red lipstick on my lips. His feet were propped up on the fire pit, I smell boots burning. As the bottoms begin to just slightly melt we meet eyes and giggle, " your hair is beautiful", I tell him from across the way. he looked around sightly offset and says "thaaaaanks". we talk throughout the evening and he came to sit next to me. He did a magic trick and I laughed. Since then he hasn't stopped making me laugh always bringing a good gut laugh to the day. Then we lived happily ever after!

on a chilly December day we rush to get ready to make our way to the Christmas tree farm. today's the day we get our first Christmas tree together! As I brush my teeth in the bathroom, Charlie is pacing back and forth through the living room to the kitchen waiting for me so we can walk out the door to leave. we get in the car and drive through the country back roads to a itty- bitty Farm with a whole bunch of Christmas trees all different sizes. it wasn't packed of people wandering around. we look at each other and smile. grabbing the saw and wagon, we prance about the Isles of beautiful evergreen smell. the air was crisp and when we spoke you could see the warmth of our breath ever-so-slightly. we finally stumbled upon the most perfect Christmas tree, about my height. "this is the one" we say with relief and Delight. I get a good grip on the top of the tree so that he can saw more steady. the tree finally comes tumbling to the ground. as Charlie is knelt down next to the fallen tree, I'm jumping up and down clapping, enthused by his manly woodsy lumberjack skills, he takes my hand and pulls me in slightly. all of a sudden the birds became more quiet, the air became thicker and the world slowed down. the hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up while he gazed at me with his glossy green eyes and asked me to be with him by his side forever. I said "I would follow you anywhere" , "you have to say yes to make it official" so I said "yes!" then we galloped away in shock and of course I began to cry, my eyes could not stop leaking warm happy tears . I'm so proud to be engaged to this lovely man.
