A moment as big as the trees

We’ve been a bit quiet lately, but that's because we've been busy getting engaged!

A moment as big as the trees

It started with a September trip to Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon. Little did I know this trip would be the trip.

Christian popped the question on our first morning in Sequoia National Park, looking out over Crescent Meadow, a stunning meadow surrounded by towering giant sequoias. Being a tree lover, I couldn't have dreamed of a more magical setting.

Christian also secretly hired a photographer to capture the proposal, making the moment even more special. I had no idea someone was following us along the trail, waiting for the big moment. Photographers are common in national parks, so I thought nothing of it. Plus, I was too busy admiring the incredible size of the trees.

We're looking forward to diving back into our home projects, but wedding planning has been a fun and exciting detour.
