We are engaged!!!!!!

Andy and I are engaged! I am so happy and thrilled to be planning a wedding! But first, I want to tell you our proposal story! 

Andy and I have been talking about getting married for several months now. So I knew it was coming, but was not sure on when, how, or where he would propose! We went on vacation with my family to a cabin in North Carolina for a few days after Christmas, leading up to New Years. Andy's parents were able to join us for two nights as well! It was the first time our families got to meet each other. Some of our friends (The Farrays) were there as well. On December 30th (also my Parents' anniversary), everybody took a walk through the woods. Andy told me he wanted to wait until later to go out for a walk, so we waited. A little while later, our family came back and Andy asked me to go on a walk with him. It was freezing outside, but I followed Andy as we walked up the hill away from the cabin. A few minutes later, we came upon a fire burning in a fire pit in the middle of the trees. Andy and I walked over to it to warm up. After another minute, Andy turned to me, took my hands in his and told me that he loved me and that he was really excited to spend his life with me and that he looked forward to our future together. He got down on one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked me to marry him. I had tears in my eyes and a huge smile on my face, and with no hesitation, I said "Yes!" 

When we got back to the cabin, our family had champagne waiting on the front porch for us and threw us a party inside! We got to celebrate with everyone and enjoy the moment! Here are a few pictures of the evening!
