The two of us went on a trip to Santa Barbara. For one of us, we thought it would just be another little weekend getaway by the beach, and the other was getting ready to ask the biggest question of his life. We decided to stop by the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens first thing when we got there. Towards the end of the walk, and on top of a hill that Tia took some convincing to climb, surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers, James got down on one knee. Shortly after the question was asked a loud and excited "YES" was heard and the two of us were engaged.
