After meeting online through an online dating site, we had our first date! We got tacos and one of Lisa's favorite foods, queso. Ian asked Lisa for a second date as he walked her back to her car, before the end of the first date! We hit it off and committed to our new relationship. We have found a love of traveling together, each trip has been filled with fun and adventure. In addition, board games! playing board games offers a chance to talk, laugh, and strengthen our connection. After three years of playing, traveling, and life, Ian proposed at the happiest place on earth, making a truly magical & memorable trip. Now we plan to celebrate our love with our family/framily in a place that fills our hearts, we hope it will fill yours too.

One of the last virgin forest, much of the remaining old growth is protected within national parks—the Great Smoky Mountains, Chattahoochee National Forest, Congaree National Park, and the Nantahala National Forest, to name a few. Three thousand eight hundred forested acres were set aside in 1936 in honor of a World War I soldier by the name of Joyce Kilmer who was killed in action in France. You may not know Kilmer by name, but you have no doubt heard his most famous poem; “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.”
