Great Smoky Mountains Engagement

Some may say a long time overdue, but I finally popped the question… and Jolene said yes!  A well planned weekend in a cabin in Townsend, TN on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a cleverly selected hike past a waterfall was all it took.

The rain held out on Saturday just long enough for me to propose and then the skies opened up and it poured for the rest of our trip.  Luckily for us, the cabin and covered deck overlooking the Little Tennessee River provided the perfect hideaway for the rest of the weekend.  Music, games, rocking away on the deck listening to the rain, and watching the forest (I was actually looking for one of the local black bears but no luck) filled our weekend escape.

The natural fog that occurs in this part of the mountain range was kind enough to cover our escape back to reality as we left on Sunday… I'm sure we'll be back soon.

I've decided some day we will own a cabin just like this one...
