We'd arrived at the farm on Friday after a week long trip through Texas with friends. We were gearing up for the Hico steak cook-off the next day. There was an outdoor dinner planned for that night just down the hill from the farm house.

Now let me just say that there were a ton of clues that day that should have given the big surprise away... 1) We were dressing really nice to eat dinner outside on a farm in pretty much the middle of nowhere. 2) Trey's mom had brought out a fancy looking camera. 3) How much everyone but me totally freaked out when Trey busted his forehead on a rifle scope. 4) When Trey said that he didn't want my dad or my brother to see that he'd "scoped" himself. 5) The shock on his sister's face when I said that I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like putting on makeup or fixing my hair. 6) The sharp "No" followed by silence that I received from suggesting that we go outside to take group pictures before the sun went down. 7) That when Trey asked me to go for a walk outside, he wouldn't let me wrap my arms around him for a hug. (the ring was in his jacket pocket) 8) There was a tree wrapped in lights when we walked to the top of a hill at sunset...I'd even said "Wow, that looks really pretty. Yall should leave it up like that year round!" 9) How shaky his voice was as he told me how much he loved me while holding my hands at the top of this hill at sunset with this gorgeous lit-up tree.

And through all this, it had never dawned on me that this was the day Trey Allen would ask me to be his forever. Of course I said YES! I couldn't stop crying all those happy tears. I also couldn't believe that this oh-so-perfect day could get any better... He had one more surprise for me. He told me to turn around toward the farm house. Of course I knew that his family and our friends that had been vacationing with us would be there, but my eyes were so watery that I couldn't make out any faces. When Trey asked if I could see my dad waving, I lost it. He had asked my whole family to come and be a part of this huge moment.

After the millions of pictures, we sat down for our outside dinner under beautifully lit trees. I could not be more grateful for all the hard work that went into decorating and planning for the BEST DAY EVER!!!
