Over the last year or two, Addison and I have talked about marriage but I definitely wasn't expecting a ring anytime soon, at least until we moved back home for good. We had just celebrated our three year anniversary in Eugene, OR and Christmas was right around the corner. We planned a trip to spend Christmas 2016 with my family at my Grammy's cabin in Maggie Valley, NC, and to spend some time with my parents at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.

The Biltmore (one of our favorite places) has this one spot where you can take a picture and get the whole mansion in the background, so I just had to go up there for a family picture. After getting a few shots with my parents, Addison asked my Dad to take some of the two of us, little did he know he was about to become my favorite photographer! So we got a couple poses in, and the next thing I knew Addison was down on one knee with a ring- I could not believe it. I was so surprised that I don't even remember saying yes, he said that I just saw something sparkly and grabbed the ring! Once my Mom realized what was happening, any chance of subtlety was gone. I'm pretty sure she was shrieking so loudly that the animals in the woods were scared away, but it got everyone else's attention so there was a round of applause from about twenty or so people. I could not have asked for a more perfect proposal!
