Josh and Emily met on a beautiful summer night late August in the hills of West Virginia. on a whim Emily had made the decision to head out east to help a very dear friends Family Member. What was meant to be a quick trip and visit turned into the trip of a lifetime. Not knowing anyone in Charleston, and her only familiar face being an hour and a half drive away from where she was staying, Emily went looking for a new friend. She found herself at a Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot at a jeep event that Josh was a member of. That is where is all began, and there was an instant connection from the two. It was that night that they both knew that they wanted to spend more time together and get to know each other more. From that night on Josh and Emily were nearly inseparable, and the idea of the short term trip became more and more long term as they were enjoying each others company greatly. it was official. after a few more weeks together Josh asked Emily to be his girlfriend.

Josh and Emily have a passion for adventures, and even more so adventures together and have had their fair share in the short amount if time together. one adventure was a weekend trip to soak and relax at Berkley Springs Hot springs (home of president Washington's favorite natural hot spring). Josh made arrangements for pixie, and wrote in a card before leaving for work to "have a bag packed we are going on an adventure". the weekend was valentines day weekend and Josh had planned a romantic night getaway including dinner and wine, at a little hot springs resort. The next morning on the way home Josh wanted to take Emily on an adventure since we had come this far. He asked her do you want to see water, or mountains, and Emily quickly response Water! The next destination was Black water falls through the beautiful snow covered Appalachian mountains. We were not the only ones with this weekend plan, so we made the trek down the stairs to see the water fall with the rest of the visitors where Josh had an idea. after viewing and taking pictures, the two went back up the icy stairs, and found a small path less traveled by others at this point. up into the distance the two could see a snow man and decided to explore that route. As they approached the snow man and the only witness Emily looked over the edge to get another view of the waterfall after prompts from Josh, and turned around to see Josh on one knee in the snow with the most beautiful ring ever! Right after he popped the question, Emily manically said "what are you doing", "what is happening" and as he knelt in the snow with a frozen knee she repeated her confused questions, only for Josh to ask "well will you". Excited that Emily said yes, and Relived that he no longer had to kneel in the cold snow he jumped up and and gave Emily a closer look at the beauty he had picked just for her!
