Mountain Trip


The weekend of Feb 21st, we took a family trip to the mountains and stayed in a cabin in Bryson City. As always, the scenery was beautiful and the atmosphere serene. We thoroughly enjoyed doing a whole lot of nothing! We played cards and dominoes, lounged in the jacuzzi, watched movies, slept in, and even managed a nice little hike/walk in the surrounding area. It was a wonderful escape from our busy lives, and we returned feeling energized and renewed, and with a stronger family bond than ever.

**On Saturday evening, as our get-away was nearing it's end, Paul PROPOSED!! So, though it has been natural for us to talk about marriage for quite some time, the engagement is now "official". We are all very excited about making this step toward our future together. =)

Below are some pictures from the weekend.
What a great group shot!
