We are Tying the knot!

We met through Talbot's mom! I (Kelsey) was her intern in my final semester of graduate school. After hearing so much about Talbot, upon completion of my internship I decided to reach out. Of course my tactic was a cute Instagram dog post. A week later we met for the first time at McCoy Farms to walk Timber and the next day we went on our first date to Tony's Pasta!

For Kelseys fall break we had a trip planned to fly to Oregon to visit some friends living there. For as long as we had been dating Kelsey had requested one thing, if we get engaged she wanted it to happen on top of a mountain. I (Talbot) figured what better place to do it than in Oregon surrounded by the beautiful buttes and cascades! We set off the morning of the 9th to go hike to a ghost town in the middle of the cascades about an hour from our friends house where I was planning on proposing to Kelsey. When we finally reached the head of the trail sure enough it was closed due to wild fires. After driving around for hours trying to find another spot and me panicking the whole time thinking I wasn't going to be able to propose today we decided to head back to town and just hike up Spencer butte. After a two mile hike up the mountain with many stops so we could catch our breath and take in all the beauty I knew it was my time to pop the question! Distracting Kelsey by taking pictures together I was able to drop to one knee and ask if she wanted to spend forever with me! She was so caught off guard and so happy! She said yes and had an amazing trip celebrating our engagement the rest of the time we were out there!
