Part of our trip to Yosemite; we stopped at Mariposa Grove first to see the beautiful sequoia trees. This one is called the California Tunnel Tree! Its even bigger in person!

At Tunnel View in Yosemite! The picture doesn't do it any justice. The view was so beautiful that it didn't feel real.

On our way up the Mist Trail! Nick was trying out his tripod before we got to the top of Vernal Fall. He was trying to rush us to get to the top cause he "didn't want to drive back in the dark" So he says...

Finally made it to the top of Vernal Fall! Totally worth the beautiful view!

A glimpse of Nick starting to get down on one knee! (He was so nervous btw!)

I said yes!

A day that changed ours lives! Also this was the real reason he was rushing us to the top! (Nick admitted)

The wedding planning begins! We're excited for this next journey together, but also to get to share it with everyone!
