On November 11th, 2025, Alex and I got engaged at Anakeesta in Gatlinburg, TN. I have always loved Tennessee and being there with Alex and our dogs was so special to me. We decided to have our engagement photos taken in the Great Smokey Mountains one of our favorite places to travel to. Not only does this represent where our future together began but also our love for traveling together throughout our whole relationship and our favorite hobby we share together, hiking. Yes, we hiked to high elevation in twenty-degree weather.
