So, What were you doing a year ago today? Well, exactly one year ago a today Travis and I got engaged! Can you believe it has been an entire year. Alot has happened since that day. Want to hear our story? Well, I am going to tell you anyway. One year ago today, Travis was in town from MOS school for Thanksgiving. He was in town for only a few days so he stayed with me at my parents house. He had Thanksgiving with me and my ENTIRE family, both my moms side and my dad's side! And that is alot of people. We had so much fun. He stayed and hung out with both Kyle's (my brother and brother-in-law) and Zach while the girls went to our annual after Thanksgiving day shopping. The next morning we had planned a trip to Dollywood. He was the first person to ever take me there, and always promised to take me back so I could see the Christmas lights. Well, that morning my parents cooked there wonderful big southern breakfast. It was so yummy we has sat talking and decided that we all wanted to go and get our Christmas tree before Brandi, Kyle, and Travis had to leave. So we were going to come home early so that we all could go. But on our way up to Dollywood I got a call from Brandi that said not to rush that they had plans and wouldn't be able to go get a tree. Little did I know, she had alterior motives.

We had so much fun laughing on the way up there, until some lady re-ended us! Yep, just rammed into the back of us. It was not fun and I was a little freaked out. But we got over it and really enjoyed our time.

While we were there we didn't get to ride many rides, because it was freezing. So we walked around and looked in all the shops that they have. We went into this old church that they have in the park. It was so beautiful all decorated for Christmas, but that was about it. There really wasn't much to see. So we left and decided to get something to eat. We ate at this little diner that has amazing hamburgers. I had said that I was bummed because I forgot to take pictures of the church, I had wanted to show them to my family. But made it a point to say that I didn't want to go back, after all we were all the way on the other side of the park!! He seemed ok with that for a while, when all of the sudden he starts stuffing his face, and telling me that he really wants to go back to the church! I kept saying it wasn't a big deal, but he insisted! So I hurried and ate, and we started back to the church. We got there and I took a picture of the outside of the and we walked in and I got a picture of the inside. Travis was taking pictures also, so I went off to the side to look at some book they had in the corner. I heard him ask some lady if she would take a picture. I thought that it was weird, but figured he just wanted to have a picture of us two. He called me over. I thought it was weird because he had taken the back pack off. So I walk over to the middle of the church and all of the sudden he gets down on one knee! I know that I gasped, but I know that I heard people in the back of the church gasp to! It was so wonderful.

I don't remember saying yes, but obviously I did. I quickly called home to tell my family. My mom was the first one I talked to, and she said "Well, it's about time, I have been waiting on this call all day"! Turns out that everyone in my family knew that he was going to purpose. Even my little brother, and of course he asked my dad's permission! And that is why Brandi said not to hurry home. She didn't want Travis to be rushed to purpose. I have such a wonderful family and a wonderful husband! Here are some of the pictures:
