We took a trip to go see a friend in Alabama. While there James took a hike with his friend and carved into a tree the words “will you marry me” with a giant heart. That afternoon we all took a hike and he walked me towards the area of the tree pointing out something farther away. I was so clueless as he turned me around to face the tree. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed he had moved and after reading the tree I turned around and saw him on one knee. Of course, you can imagine the rest I said “YES”. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Boone!
