So guys, let me tell you a story. Sit around the proverbial campfire and open your ears. 

Our first official date was in Tyler State Park as we have both mentioned. There we had our first kiss, and from then on I knew what my future had in store. So countless adventures later, amazing nights on the town and hard mornings recovering, and memories that will always be a part of us, we ended up back where we started. On October 5th, 2019 we were having a morning recoop from a massive raid orchestrated by some sneaky raccoons...

After making Brandi a cup of camp coffee, making sure she was distracted, and sneaking off to our tent, I returned with a ring. I asked her, with tears in my eyes from the huge amount of nerves and joy I had welling inside my heart, if she would be by my side for the rest of our lives. After a few (like 12) no's of disbelief she said yes, and I was beyond happy. Because now our little family will become OFFICIALY WHOLE!!!

It was the U L T I M A T E   S U P R I S E (she's good at ruining suprises) - this wasn't an easy task. 

For the duration of our stay at the site, we celebrated with a little fishing, paddle boarding, jumping off the dock with Jameson, purchasing a new coffee mug as a momento, and ice cream from the gift shop. Later, we broke out the s'mores and our favorite Celebration Wine that I tried to sneak in our cooler (she found it early, and I was questioned - I had to keep my cool). We are pretty great at celebrating in simplicity and enjoying the small things in life. 

However, "simple" is not quite what we have in mind for the Big Day!
